An agent approached holding a sealed evidence bag.

“We found this beneath the foundation of the old swing set.”

Inside rested a small metal cashbox.

Judy stared at it.

“The final box.”

The agent nodded.

“It was wrapped in oilcloth.”

“Has it been opened?”

“No.”

“We’ll process it first.”

Judy smiled faintly.

“Will is going to love you.”

Will appeared from behind the agent.

“I already do.”

The box contained a ledger.

Children moved from Alaska, Washington, Oregon, and Texas.
