Breaking the Silence

Kenny leaves the bedroom and makes his way downstairs. He rejoins the others in the dining room. “Hey, guys I just read her journal. It was an amazing read.” He confessed to the others. Jen and Eric look at him quizically. “Really, what did it say?” Jen inquired. “Well for starters, we’re from Italy” Kenny begun. “And there is like 70 thousand dollars in that lock box at the bank.

The other two looked at him with a blank look. “Yeah, and get this Jen, Grandpa was a banker. And our aunt was squireling away money for years, nobody knew about it until right now, like five minutes ago.” He said with widening eyes.

“So, about the money? Who does it belong to now?” Jen asked, in a surprised tone.

“Well, I don’t really know, its stated in the journal that its legacy money. So, maybe we should contact a lawyer and inquire about it.

“Yeah, but the woman died without a will” Eric said, breaking his silence.
