Michael Anderson sat at the kitchen table of their once prosperous home, now stripped of its former glory. The lavish decorations had been sold off piece by piece to cover mounting debts. Bills and notices of overdue payments cluttered the table, each one was a reminder of their bad situation.

"Dad, the phone's been ringing all morning," Lewis said, walking into the kitchen with a look of frustration. "It’s the creditors again. They’re threatening legal action." Michael sighed deeply, running a hand through his graying hair. "I know, Lewis. They’

The place felt more like a ruin than a home, it reminded him how far his life had fallen apart.The roof was unfinished, with sections covered only by tarps that flapped in the wind.

    Hugo had thought he was in the clear. He had played his part perfectly, setting up Lewis for the illegal ammunition deal, and may have gone free.
