Samantha, you need to see this."
A woman said and Samantha got out of the bed room completely naked. The woman turned around the moment she saw her.
"Oh come on Mariam, you have seen me naked my whole life. You practically raised me, if mom turned away from my nakedness that I'll understand."
"It's different, you are a woman now; you nakedness is for you and your husband. That's if you decide listen to me and settle down."
"What is it?"
"The Red is falling, it was 3 to a silver; now it's not even one silver it's now coppers. It's never fallen like that, people choose lad over red now. The King is not happy."
Mariam handed her a file while she continued to look away. Samantha stood and watched her hand her the file. After awhile when Samantha didn't take the file Mariam turned around. She saw Samantha just standing there.
"Take it"
She yelled and Samantha shook her head and collected the file.
"It happened, it will bounce back it's not like we control the market."
Samantha flipped through the file as she said. She suddenly stopped talking and dropped the file, only holding 5 red which was part of the file she was handed.
"What is this?"
"Yes, a fake Red note. To magic uses it's obvious it is a fake but to non magic users it's real."
"I thought this is why we place the seal and other spellworks , to stop duplication."
"Yes and it does, stops duplication, illusion, transfiguration and a whole lot. This was made with old fashion hard work, no potion, no spells no magic."
"Still, this looks nothing like a red, what did they use? Animal blood, even if they used human blood where is the silk?"
Samantha ripped the note into two.
"I get it but not everyone can tell and those who can will just take advantage of it. Magic users can duplicate this notes and do other stuff with magic they can't do with the original."
"I'll just find who ever is producing these fakes and stopped them once and for all."
"There is no need for violence, just destroy the fakes and stop them."
"How do you suppose I stop them without violence?"
"Destroy their supply and equipment. This should be done very quickly and quietly. If others get wind of this it will be very bad for Grow."
"So I guess no feed?"
Mariam shook her head and Samantha sighed.
Marina walked out and the sound of the closed door woke Shoto up.
"Who was that?"
"No one."
"Come back to bed."
After months Samantha found the town producing the fake bills.
Ryan, Lawhey and Helton were in the cages for about two days.
"Seriously, we can't be eating meat every time. Ever heard of balance diet?"
Helton said as he heard foot steps heading in their direction. They were surprised to see the guard walk in with Shoto. He chained to some rocks in the cave and walked out.
"I thought you knew this Misty person."
Ryan said after an awkward pause.
"I heard about her from a friend."
"Who, maybe they can help."
"Samta."
"Santa, do you guys know a Santa?"
Helton and Lawhey shook their head.
"Sam…Samantha, not Santa."
"Samantha as in the one who want to kill us. Friends, I get it now, we were just pawns in your plan."
Lawhey said with disgust.
"I have apologized, and it's not like I wanted to kill him. Not like she wanted to kill him.Row was like...never mind, you won't understand."
They all stayed quiet.
"Okadu, what happened to the money?"
