     I turned away to look at where the
Cat was before looking back to get     
another look, and what I saw was one   
serious-ass looking cage.              
     “That's my home sweet home. Now   
come over here and check this out,” she
said and pointed to a computer that was
already on and ready to use.           
     I opened a browser, and it was    
already at the website printed on the  
back of the card. I put in my user ID, 
my pin-number, and then I was in.      
     The first thing I noticed was the 
account balance, ten thousand dollars  
exactly.                               
     I compared my card number with the
number on the account, thinking this   
had to be some kind of mistake, but the
numbers matched exactly.               
     “Wow!” was all I could think of to
say, and when I realized how much money
it was worth, I almost dropped the     
card.                                  
     “Wow!” I said again.              
     “Are you convinced now?”          
     “I'm almost convinced, but you    
still have to meet my friends,         
especially Beth...”                    
     “And also talk to them. I get it. 
You get me out of here, Criminal, and  
I'll talk to anyone you want, except   
keep in mind, who I talk to is just as 
important as who I don't talk to.”     
     “Gotcha,” I said and stashed the  
card in my wallet.                     
     The Cat explained a few other     
things, and then glanced at the clock  
and said, “I'll try and answer all your
other questions tomorrow, including    
where the money comes from, but now    
it's time for you to go.”              
     I looked at the clock and realized
she was right. I’d been in here for    
almost an hour, and once again I was   
forced to run to my second room, and   
then to my station on the Clean-Side to
start another nonstop day.             
     This one was different though, be-
cause I had ten-thousand dollars care- 
fully tucked away deep inside my       
wallet.                                
     I decided not to tell anyone about
any of this, at least no one at work   
anyway. That might be dangerous, but I 
did tell Beth.                         
     She just flipped and couldn't talk
straight for a whole two minutes.
