Lottery 1
Janet opened her eyes and looked weakly at Shaniqua. “Thank You.” she said slowly in a raspy whisper.
Shaniqua looked down in shock at the woman, then leaned close to hear. “What can you tell me.” She asked quickly, and squeezed Janet’s hand.
“I never saw who did it.” Janet got out slowly in her struggling whisper. “They know the package plan I sold… The destinations… The lodging… They start in England. I didn’t tell them… They went to Canada first…”
“So whoever is looking for them is too far ahead. By a country at least?” Shaniqua made sure she was understanding correctly.
The large woman nodded, she was weakening from the effort.
“So I have time, to find them and warn them first.” Shaniqua started to stand up on this revelation.
Janet reached up with her free hand and grabbed Shaniqua’s blouse desperately before she got too far away.
Shaniqua quickly leaned back, and put her ear to Janet’s lips.
“He doesn’t know she’s blonde.” Janet struggled to whisper quickly. “He had a picture of her… with dark hair.”
