"Well, we don't have much money left. Moreover, after the first floor vault got vandalized, we'd run out of money in just three days." "What?!" Meg scowled. "No way-I remember us having a few million on our ledgers!" Kiki flashed a pained smile. "The boss dropped by in the afternoon and took everything.

Frank clapped her on the shoulder. "You'renow-do anything you like. Now get to work." "Okay!" Meg left cheerfully right then.
