“Just a moment,” the bank teller said with a practiced smile, her fingers flying over the keyboard. Mark watched, his gaze fixed on the screen, wanting to grab her hand and just do it himself. He knew. He *knew* what he needed.

His neighbor, Mr. Harrison, had recently upgraded his boat. The biggest boat in the marina, and he already had a yacht. Mark knew he was sitting on a gold mine.

He leaned forward, his elbows on the counter. He needed that money. His family needed that money. Every second of the bank teller's slow process was a form of torture. He wanted to scream. Why was she so slow? He wanted to grab the documents, run to Harrison's house, and get what was rightfully his.
