“We have to have money for food,” she says. “We’ll go through this whole house. Even at home, there’s always money when you least expect it, under the bed, on the floor of the closet.”

I think of the money from Abuelita. I promised myself I wouldn’t use it, not unless I was desperate. I reach inside my pocket, feeling the two bills. Maybe now is the time. But will I be able to use Mexican money here?

Angel runs her fingers through her hair. “You’ll see. We’ll find something. Then we’ll clean ourselves up and wait until school has to be over for the day. We’ll just be two kids shopping.”

It sounds all right, but I can’t imagine that there’s money here.

“Which room do you want to search?”

“The bedroom, I guess.”

I wander inside and touch Mami’s quilt. Then I crawl under the bed, the dust balls rolling around me, making me sneeze, and only find an old newspaper and a sock.

I try the closet, crawling on the floor in there, too. Nothing.

Back in the kitchen, I raise my shoulders. “No good.”

She marches into the bedroom. “It takes longer than that to search. Did you look under the pillows, the sheets, the mattress?”

I shake my head.

“The closet shelves? The jeans pockets? Especially the pockets.” She taps the door molding hard, and goes back into the kitchen. “Get with it, Matty.”
