Daisy went home realizing that the situation that she thought was bad with Sticks was actually worse than she had imagined. Why the fuck would he want an alibi for someone in a bar that wasn't old enough to drink? This nigga got me all in the middle of some real bullshit. I can't even get my job back with Calvin. I ain't got no money. The police is talking about locking my ass up in Muncy and this nigga is threatening me to say this bullshit alibi. Is he nuts? Daisy honestly didn't know what to do. All she knew was that she was beginning to wish she had never given that alibi statement to that investigator. Oh, Momma, if only I had listened to you. She had no idea that one alibi statement would end up costing her for the rest of her life.

It was almost two o'clock in the morning by the time she got back home. She was hungry and tired. There was a corner left in a box of Cap'n Crunch cereal. She poured some milk into the bowl and sat down at the kitchen table. Look at that pile of mail. I bet it's all bills in there. Sometimes, the realities of life can make you afraid, and that's what Daisy was feeling just looking at the mail. I ain't got no money to pay no bills. They're gonna cut the phone off. She started by opening up an AT&T envelope. And sure enough, it was a cut-off notice. Cut it off, the only motherfucker calling is that damn Sticks and I sure as hell don't want to talk to him no way. She still couldn't believe that Reggie had broke out on her, with no plans to return. I just can't believe it. I know he's coming back, he's got to come back.

Daisy sat there opening up each envelope, looking at the total due boxes. Mmm, no television, 'cause won't be no cable. Damn, the lights too. I better find some candles. Shit, I'm liable to be sitting here in the god damn dark any second now. This is crazy. There was an envelope marked Abigail Fothergill. It was her mother's bank statement. She opened it and glanced at the pages, put it back in the envelope, and laid it on the table. Wait, what the... She picked the envelope back up, pulled the statement out again, and looked at the bottom right-hand corner, at the total. It must be some kind of mistake, some kind of big mistake. There was $47,422.04 in her dead mother's bank account, and she was named as a cosigner on the account.

She looked closer at the statement, and approximately three and a half weeks ago, there was a fifty-thousand dollar deposit made, a debit of $2,577.96, and a remaining balance of $47,422.04. Oh, my god, it must be some kind of bank error. But, what if... what if that money is still sitting there? What if the bank hasn't realized they made a mistake? Oh, my god, please let that money still be there.
