But still, I would rather someone blunt and honest than a fucking sweet, bald-faced liar like my mom.

Just thinking about her made me so angry I could scream.

Luckily, I’d been smart when I’d hidden my latest stack of cash.

I’d also put an AirTag into the bag that it was in, knowing she’d likely take the whole thing.

I’d been right, and I knew exactly where she went.

Today, after work, I’d be heading that way.

“Okay, let’s get this going.”Dru clapped.

The patient snorted.“About time, but wait just one…”

That’s when I saw liquid start to leak from the bed and onto the floor.

This bitch…

I was in a raging bad mood by the time my shift ended.

That patient that I’d said was going to be a problem?

Yeah, she’d been a fucking problem.

She’d been a major problem.

Honestly, if she was still on the floor in two days when I came back, I was going to quit.

With myself being the only tech on shift for the last two days due to a stomach virus making the rounds through hospital staff, I was overworked anyway.

But this bitch…

I pulled up the Find My app on my phone and hit directions that would lead me straight to my AirTag and started off.

Luckily, the sexy grump of a doctor wasn’t there to watch as I started my car this time.

Unluckily, I needed gas, and I always got a little anxious when I had to put fuel in my tank with it running.

But no surprises—or explosions—came my way and I arrived at the location of my AirTag within twenty minutes of leaving the hospital.

I came to a stop at a set of double gates and looked beyond the gates to the building nestled in the middle of the large lot.

A barndominium, by the looks of it.

There were tracks that led around to the back of the building, which was likely where people parked when they were here.

I bit my lip, wondering whether I should announce myself or not, but then decided against that.

My mother would just hide the money or refuse to come out.

This way, at least she would be surprised…

Four

The year I was born is getting a little far on that scrolly thing.
