Snippet #1630005

Lenore felt as if the ground had opened under her. The papers in her hand blurred as tears clouded her vision. It couldn't be true. Her Robert couldn't be selling US secrets to the KGB. And hiding the money. She wasn't sure what part hurt the most. The fact that he was selling out his country, or that he kept her and the kids at a near poverty level. Was he planning on leaving her? Was that why he needed the money? Did he have someone on the side?

She looked at the camera, finally being aware that Kyle had put it in her hand. Once a week? She had been in shock and forgot to ask if there was any way to save her husband. Well, she'd make that bargain once she knew why he was hoarding money. There had better be a world tour in her future or he was going to jail!

Standing up, she tucked the papers in her coat and went home. Everyone was still sleeping and she hid the papers under the mattress. Since she did all the cleaning, she didn't have to worry about Robert finding them. She would burn them in the morning. The information was already engraved in her memory.

Laying on the bed, she pulled Robert's pillow to her and sobbed.
