Single Dad Helps Old Lady Mow Her Lawn, Soon Gets a Call from Her Lawyer

but he forced himself to continue. He was halfway across the room when the bedroom light turned on.
Not so high and mighty now are you Felix? Henry crowed from the door.
Felix turned. Henry was holding his phone up and the flash flickered in Felixs eyes as Henry took photos of him.
Felix raised a hand to hide his face. This isnt what it looks like Henry. I just need
The documentation for the box I know. Henry smirked. My family has a known connection to that box so the auction house contacted me after you tried to scam them. Of course I told them you stole it
Thats a lie!
But you cant prove ownership without proper documentation. Henry crossed his arms and widened his stance filling the doorway. You cant sell it either. Ill give you until 8 a. m tomorrow to hand it over otherwise Ill call the cops.
Henry stepped aside and Felix fled from Mrs. McAllisters house. The consequences he now faced weighed heavily on him. He wished hed left the box in Mrs. McAllisters house the same day he found her dead.
But shed wanted him to have it! Felix didnt believe Henry would stick to his word if he handed the box over. Thoughts raced through his mind. By dawn he knew what he had to do.
He asked his mom to come over immediately then woke Suzie and told her to quickly pack a bag. A few hours later they all stood at the front door. Hed explained everything and now they had to say goodbye.
Felix gave the box to Suzie. Sell it as soon as you can. Dont take anything less than 100 000 dollars for it okay? This is the only way to get clear of this mess while still ensuring you get to live your life to the fullest.
Felix hugged his daughter tightly and held back the tears forming in his eyes. Saying goodbye to her was one of the hardest things hed ever faced in his life.
Promise me youll live a good life Suzie he said as he looked into her eyes. Study hard so you make something of yourself and travel so you can see what the world has to offer you. Take care of your grandmafamily is important and the elderly deserve our respect.
Police sirens wailed in the distance. It was 830 a m. half an hour past Henrys deadline. He suspected those sirens were coming for him. He watched Mom and Suzie pull out of the driveway as the police sirens grew closer and closer. He took some comfort from knowing they were clear of this mess when the cops arrested him.
Despite Henrys threats the charges against Felix were complicated by legal technicalities. Since the box was now missing key parts of Henrys case were in doubt. Felix spent four months in a holding cell awaiting his court date. One day a guard told him someone posted his bail.
Felix was deeply confused. He followed the man to the front section of the prison where Suzie was waiting for him. They walked outside together. Mom was parked at the curb waiting for them.
Okay Suzie I cant wait anymore Felix said as they got into the car. Whats going on?
Well I didnt listen to you about the box. Suzie smiled sheepishly. Instead I figured out how to open it. Inside it was a certificate of authentication and a note from Mrs. McAllister. She really wanted you to have that box Dad. The note said so.
Felix frowned. He still didnt understand Mrs. McAllisters insistence that he take the box but Suzie wasnt finished so he didnt
get much time to mull it over.
So I showed the note to your lawyer and then I took the box with all the papers to an antique dealer. Suzie grinned broadly. He gave us enough money for it to post bail and we still have 100000 left!
