Betrayal
There was a problem with Eddie, the neighbor that lives next door on our road. He had done something to my mom, betrayed her somehow, financially. I was in her front yard, talking to her. I'd been inside and it was cold and I was thinking it needed a heater for my room because I was really cold. I was outside trying to relax and actually saw a squirrel in her yard. I was going to sit down and see if the little guy wanted to come over. That's when we heard about reporters looking to talk to people about what was going on with the neighbor. All his secrets got out and it became national news because of how crazy his life was. They had stories about his life and all the crazy stuff that happened around him. His dirty land deals, all the kids he had, the women he did wrong, and other crimes and associations. I was at the old playground at the old school. My family was nearby and I had gone out to fix a lawn chair so we used it later. I was tearing the material of the chair with my hands but I was having trouble with it. I was in front of the minivan when I saw him and another man walk toward the car. They saw me and turned around and went the other way. The guy said they would talk in his hotel room. I was staying at the same hotel and there were cats all over the stairwells but only the stairwells. One guy was trying to figure out if he was dreaming or not. But, it turns out, the brother came over to help the sister get a couple cats out of her room then they all escaped. I was trying to get people in the hotel to foster them for a while so she wouldn't lose them all. Once it got out to the authorities, they'd all be taken away and many of them would be put down because that's just how they do it. I told them we wouldn't return them until they were spayed/neutered and checked over...
