To her amazement she saw fluffy brown poodle siting on a cuddler chair gazing its eyes and wavering its head towards her
She runed near the dog, lifted it and gave it a warm embrace whiles her dad took a shot of the scene for remembrance
''I hope you like it; I was so swamped trough out the week so couldn't prepare a nice gift for your welcome' Her dad said
''It's alright dad, I love it, it's so beautiful and what I love the most is its glossy brown fur'' Kelsey said cheerfully
''I knew you'd like its color and, it's a female''
''Wow, that's pleasing. I'll name it Molly
''Lovely name, why don't you go to your room and wash up whiles the cook prepares your delicacies for dinner''
AT THE BANK
Charlotte alighted at the bank's entrance, pays the driver and walks into the bank towards the counter to cash out some amount of money for her needs and also to help Brianna to pay her mother's bills.
She signs the given forms, and the sectary gives her an envelope containing the money which she puts in her bag and walks out of the bank and heads to a coffee shop to gulp in a cup of caffe latte to relax a little while before she goes to the grocery stall to get some food stuffs. As she was sitting down, she had a call from her mom, but she was a bit surprised because her family had never spoken to her ever since she left her home country to Chicago to earn a reasonable wage. She picks the call reluctantly and her mum speaks
''Hello charlotte''
''Hello mum''
''Your dad borrowed a huge amount of money from a group of people to gamble but he lost all the money, and the repayment time of the money is due''
''What!!!, why would he lend money from someone and use it to gamble''
''He has currently paid one third of the amount but he's struggling to get the balance''
''Oh, I see''
''So can you help him settle the rest of the payment''
''What's the total balance''
''It's about half a million dollars''
''What!!, you mean he used such an amount of money just to gamble'' she bellowed
''yes, so will you be able to help him settle the payment''
''Well, I'll try to send some money, but I can promise you above 50,000 dollars because my friend's mom is sick, and I assured to help her raise money to pay her mom's medical bills''
''Okay, I'll be trying to figure out how we'll pay the remaining''
''Okay. But if they could wait for next month, when I receive my salary, I'll send you the money to settle the payment''
''Thanks a lot, am optimistic''
''Sure, catch you later''
''bye''
Brianna changes into her mufti, walks out of the building heading to the bus station to board a car to the hospital to check on her mom.as she goes she constantly checks her phone to see if charlotte has sent the money. She eventually reaches the hospital and on her entry into her mom's room she meets a nurse who tells her the doctor what's to see her''
Charlotte walks into the stall picks up some few canned products and some drinks and goes to the check point to pay for the goods. Unknowingly some muggers have following her steadily for some time because they saw her removing money from the bank. So, they had planned to remove the envelope from her bag without her awareness. The salesgirl totals the amount of money to be paid and informs her
''The total is 50 dollars''
''Okay, here you go''
''Here's your receipt''
''Thanks''
Charlotte hangs her packsack around her shoulder, carries the paper bags and walks out of the stall. As she was walking, she felt someone was following her, so she turned right and took the alley that led to the bus station. They silt up into two, one of took a short cut and the other followed her steadily.
