John hugged Anne longly before finally regaining his composure. He kissed her forehead and held her
face in his hands tenderly. “Shall we go to bed together? I’ll make you a nice cup of warm milk if you
can’t sleep.”
Anne nodded.
With that, John smiled and kissed her again before finally leaving the room.
The living room was dark, which meant Robyn had gone to sleep.
John switched on the lights, then walked into the kitchen to grab the milk carton and heated it in a cup.
He returned to the bedroom with Anne’s cup, only to find her staring out the window at the apartment
building across from theirs.
At this moment, the entire building was ablaze with light and activity. Cars were parked outside the
building with countless men dressed in black rushing into the building as though they were in search of
someone.
John furrowed his brows. “Is that the police?”
Those men did not appear to be policemen, but if not, who else would they be? Why would they be
searching for someone in the middle of the night?
At the thought of this, John took out his phone.
Ever since they moved in with Robyn, she had added him to the group chat with the rest of the tenants
of their building so he would stay up-to-date on the latest news, such as electricity outages.
Although he had no idea what was happening in the building across from them, he was certain
someone else would know.
He was right; the group chat was filled with messages from the tenants. By reading the first message,
he could vaguely make out what was happening.
Apparently, there was a kidnapped old man kept in the building. With the old man’s family having
tracked him down, they were turning the entire building inside out to search for him.
Besides that, every tenant of the building had been awarded 10000 dollars as compensation for their
trouble.
One of the tenants of John’s apartment building just so happened to be a real estate agent that
possessed the keys to some of the vacant units right across. He blatantly asked the rest of the people
in the group chat if any of them wanted to sneak into a vacant unit whereby they could pretend they
lived there and claim the reward money.
[You know damn well I’m up for that! Whoever’s giving out this money probably won’t mind giving me
some too!]
[This is even more than three months of my salary combined! Why would I pass up this opportunity?]
[This is practically free money falling from the sky! Why would I say no to that?]
Everyone was intrigued by this.
John paused, then lifted his head to glance at Anne, who was sipping her milk. “Anne.”
She turned and looked at him questioningly.
John inhaled and said, “You… Why don’t you try to sleep first? I…”
After some hesitation, he finally decided to come clean with his idea. “Ten thousand is a lot, especially
in this current situation we’re in. I…”
He paused, then finally finished his sentence. “I want to get this money.”
