Trudy

Trudy heard two men arguing outside her room. She held her palms over her ears.

Dr. Meadows poked his head in. “You okay?”

“Is that you, Ed?”

“No, Trudy. It’s Dr. Meadows.”

“Why are Scott and Ed fighting? Is this about the money?”

“No one is fighting. Just a little commotion in the hallway.”

She could have sworn she just heard Ed shouting that they deserved every penny. Only he said goddamn penny.

“They were fighting about the money,” Trudy insisted.

“Well, everything is fine now,” Dr. Meadows replied.

Trudy knew everything was not fine. Why was Dr. Meadows lying? “Ed is really mad. Scott wants us to stop. Said twelve years is enough. But Ed said no.”

“What needs to stop?”

“The money. That’s what they’re fighting about.” Trudy replied, confused that Dr. Meadows wouldn’t know this. Didn’t he just hear them fighting? “Every month. Like clockwork. Tick. Tock. Can’t stop.”

“No need to worry about that anymore, Trudy.” Dr. Meadows smiled and closed the door.

The two men started arguing again. Then she heard a loud knock on the door. Ed told her to be quiet. That the police were outside. That he would do all the talking.
