Chapter 3

"Here! Quickly sign this form. I am your guarantor so you have nothing to worry. I know you very well and I trust you so I know you won't run away or the godfather will come after us."

"God Father?" Sarah asks, brows furrowed.

"Yes, he's a loan shark. Every business owners borrowed from him. But if you are a good payer, you don't have to worry about anything. Heard of business men being harassed or who disappeared?"

"No?"

"Hays, you don't know anything. Just sign then."

"What happened to those who disappeared? Why have they disappeared?"

"Because they were not able to pay. But don't worry cos I will help you."

Sarah pouted as she looks at Jimmy. "I'm done!"

"Good. What's your bank account? I'll transfer the money."

"Here, check it first." Sarah said as she hands over her phone with her online bank app to Jimmy.

Jimmy stares at Sarah's phone.

"Is something wrong?"

Jimmy closed his eyes before opening them again.

"Sarah, you have five million dollars in your account!"

"What?" Sarah said laughing. If she have that amount in her bank, she would not be borrowing money from a loan shark.

"I am sure you have five million in your account!"

"Geez! Don't you.." Sarah unbelievablly stares at her phone, mouth wide opened.

"Sarah! Where is it from?"

"I don't know!"

"Well you don't have to borrow money then. You have five million in your account now." Jimmy said, he looks excited but Sarah isn't.

"No. It's impossible. I am sure I only have five dollars left in my account and now I have five million? How is that possible?"

"There must be a glitch in the system or I don't know. Let me see."

Sarah is speechless as she watch Jimmy browse her phone."

"Someone transferred the money to you. Don't you know anyone who could give you this huge amount?"

"No. It must be a mistake. Is there a way to give it back to the sender?"

"Are you kidding me?" Jimmy unbelievably uttered.

"But it's not mine. What if the owner will look for it?"

"Or maybe he won't! Do you believe me when I say there are a lot of money online that no one claims? This could be one of those! It could be a system glitch, a mistake, or someone is trying to hide a stolen money!"

"I am returning it!"

"Return to who?"

"The sender. If there's a receiver, there's a sender!"

"What if the sender won't be looking for it? Think about this, your mother can live longer. She can get all the best treatments in the world through this money. Remember what the doctor told you?"

Sarah sighed. She don't agree with Jimmy's plan but Jimmy is right. She badly needs a huge sum for her mother's operation. Her mother could live.

"The life of your mother is in your hands now Sarah. It's up to you to decide. Withdraw the five million and start with the operation or you watch your mother die. Which one do you prefer?

******

Sarah's heart beats louder when she saw the doctor get out of the operating room. It's been a grueling more than ten hours of waiting. She is worried about the outcome of the operation. Quickly, she stood up to meet the doctor.

"How's my mother?"

The doctor removed his mask revealing his smile. "Your mother did well in the operating room. You will see her soon."

Sarah is able to breath now. She bows respectfully to the doctor. "Thank you doctor."

"I'll see you around. I need to get ready for my next operation."

Sarah feels relieved. She sits down, knowing that her mother is safe now, she can rest peacefully at last.

*****

Don's phone rang which he ignored at first.

After seeing who is it, he answers the call right away.

"Boss, I am able to track the money."

"Where is it?" Don asks as he stood up.

The man informed Don of the information he have. With no time to waste, he quickly left his office. An hour later, he is entering a hospital.

Don closed his eyes when he smell a familiar scent. He can't be mistaken!

"Mate?"
