“Where’s the rest of the crew?” Dylan asked.

“They’re gone! Drive!” Harry ordered.

Dylan did as he was instructed. But not long after, he noticed the police lights in the rearview mirror. As the police was getting closer and closer, they started firing and Harry was hit in the shoulder. The car of their car was also pierced.

“Keep driving!” Harry said at that moment, groaning in pain. But as they noticed it was extremely difficult to control the car, Harry changed plans.

“We’re not going to make it, Dylan! Listen to me…” Harry said. “There’s a narrow alley up ahead, about 300 meters. Drive into it, and you’ll find a sewer hatch. Ditch the car, get into the sewers, and follow the markings. Don’t worry about me. Take all the money with you. But keep my share. I expect to be paid when I get out of jail.”

Harry got arrested, but the police didn’t find the money.

Dylan could now proceed with his son’s operation, but sadly, it ended up costing double the money, so he, although he knew he would find himself in trouble, spent Harry’s share too.

“I spent Harry’s share and got the surgery done, but my son didn’t make it. His passing left me broken, but when I met you, Catherine, things changed. I felt like I could start a new life. I thought Harry would never find me, especially not 20 years later. So I never told you the truth.”

“How did he find you?” Catherine demanded, still shocked by his revelations.

“I got a call from him. He said he was out of prison. I have no idea how he tracked my number. I pretended to be a poor man because I didn’t want to return his share. Whatever I’ve earned is through my hard work. So I came up with a plan to deceive him.”

“$100,000 is a drop in the ocean for you, Dylan! You could’ve just given it to him. How could you play with our lives like this? I hate you!” Catherine sneered.

Right then, the basement door flung open. Harry appeared with a smirk. “I just had a little visit to your cozy home,” he snarled. “Quite the palace you’ve got there, though not many valuables. Makes me wonder where all the money went.”

At that moment, Dylan asked Harry to let Catherine go and he would give him a million dollars from his bank account.

Harry agreed. “But if you even think of playing any tricks or getting the police involved, I won’t hesitate to spill all about your dark past,” Harry warned Dylan. “Remember, I’ve got nothing to lose, and I’ve plenty of allies in jail. You mess with me, and you pay the price.”

When the two entered the bank, Dylan realized that Harry wasn’t someone he could trust. He feared for Catherine’s life and decided to do something about that.

As they approached the clerk, Dylan shouted, “This is a robbery!”

Everyone panicked and Harry got confused. He threatened to expose Dylan’s past to the police. “I will tell them everything myself,” Dylan said, “but I’m glad Catherine will be alive!”
