AUTHOR'S NOTES: I had the idea for this in the works while I was finishing up Road to a Victory Lap. And I figured I'd give it a try. Hope you all enjoy this one.

This story takes place in November 2011.

CHAPTER 1:

After a class, a half-asleep Aubrey met up with Chloe on the quad.

"Hey, Chloe." Aubrey said.

"Hey, Aubrey. You look tired." Chloe said.

"Yeah. Economics class was a snore fest today." Aubrey said.

"That bad, huh?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah. I nearly fell asleep halfway through the professor's lecture." Aubrey said.

"Don't feel bad. Happens to all of us." Chloe said.

"Yeah." Aubrey said as noticed something in her coat pocket. "What the heck? What's in my pocket?" She asked as she reached in to reveal a stack of $20 bills.

When the money was revealed, Aubrey & Chloe gasped.

"A stack of 20's?" Chloe asked.

"OMG, where'd all this money come from?" Aubrey asked.

"You tell me. It was in YOUR pocket." Chloe said.

"Yeah. But I don't remember placing it in there. I would never put that much money in my coat packet." Aubrey said.

"You don't suppose someone planted that money in there do you?" Chloe asked.

"It's possible. Normally if I saw this much money I'd be like 'Let's go to the mall!' But something doesn't feel right." Aubrey said.

"Yeah. I think we should report this to the dean." Chloe suggested as the two headed for the dean's office.

At the dean's office, Aubrey & Chloe showed him the evidence.

"So let me get this straight, you believe that this stack of 20's was planted in your pocket?" The dean asked.

"That's right, sir. We don't know who did it, but we're hoping to find out." Aubrey said.

"You know there was something on the news this morning about a robbery that happened last night." The dean remembered

"On campus?" Chloe asked.

"No, actually it was at a bank downtown sometime between 10pm & 4am." The dean said.

"Well, that's easy; I was nowhere near downtown Atlanta during that time." Aubrey confirmed.

"She's right. We were both in our dorm asleep during that time." Chloe said.

"Very well. Thanks for turning the money in." The dean said. "Just for the record, it's all accounted for, right?" He asked.

"That's right, sir. We would never spend money that didn't belong to us." Aubrey said.

"I'll put in a call to the police. Hopefully we'll find the culprit soon." The dean said.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: So take a guess as to who you think it might be? The answer won't be revealed til the end.
