Everybody started arriving for work. Judy got there first. She was in charge of the sundry items like soap, paper towels, greeting cards and magazines. Bobbie, the cosmetics lady was next, followed by Rose who worked the seasonal isles and the second register. Mr. Thickett, the Pharmacist, came in and then John the photo clerk. Giovanna, the drug counter girl, came in at five of eight. I opened the door and people immediately started coming in. I went back to the safe and got out the money from last night. At the end of the night the money from the register drop boxes is put in the safe and the manager who opens the store counts it out and records the amounts broken out into cash, checks, credit cards, coupons, etc. I took it all into the office and started counting. This I would do perfectly. And honestly. The big money would come today and tonight.

The day dragged on and it got to be around five o’clock so I asked Bob to go and get money from the drops, take it to the office, and then go on a break. I hadn’t had him do this since before noon so I knew the drops were full. I went back to the drug counter to talk to Giovanna and Mr. Thickett while he did it. This would put me there with them while Bob was in contact with the money. Giovanna needed to grab a smoke so I ran the counter while she was gone. A lady, Mrs. Davis, came up with a prescription and handed it to me.

“So you ready for Santa?” she said as she scratched her neck. “I hope you’ve been good.”

I smiled at her and said “Not too good” and winked. She was a regular and smiled back. “Be about twenty minutes, you wanna wait for it?”

“Yeah I have to get a couple things.” She said and walked off.

Giovanna came back and I headed to the photo counter. I thought I’d go up and ask John if Bob had emptied his drop. I knew he had, and I knew John would say he had. But it was more separation of me from the money. After a few minutes helping out John with a customer I headed back to the office. I got there, unlocked the door, and Bob had dutifully placed the drop money on the desk in zip-up carriers. They were bulging huge with that money. That money that would get Kelly back. I peaked inside each one and could tell there was much more than five thousand dollars here, maybe even near ten thousand. I opened the back door and took the money out with a few boxes for the trash. But I thought about it and I couldn’t hide the money in the trash, someone may find it. What would I do with it? I hadn’t really thought this part out. If I hide it anywhere out there, someone could find it and take it.
