It was the cleaning lady, Maria, who found the wallet in the executive suite. She had been tasked to tidy up after the company's annual Christmas party. The wallet was tucked under the sofa, overlooked by everyone, and filled with crisp twenty-dollar bills. A gasp escaped her lips, her hand flying to her mouth. She backed away a step, then crept closer, picking it up and opening it, her eyes wide. She whispered a prayer in Spanish, then clutched the wallet as if it was a lifeline.
