Chapter 7
The next morning...
I waited outside a building, hoping they would hurry up and get here already. They were supposed to have been here almost a half hour ago. A person was shaking his head in unison with mine and motioned me inside.
"I hate to tell you, but we may have to go ahead with the proceedings," he said.
"Let's go ahead with it," I answered. "I have a busy schedule for the day."
"Let's do that," he said. He had an envelope on the desk which he began to open. He sat down as he began to read, skimming through the parts of the letter. It took him several minutes before he finally got to my part of the contract.
"It says here, 'To my son, I bequeath to him my car and the rest of my inheritance'."
"Like, what else," I asked.
"I'm not sure," the man said. "What car did he meant?"
"I know which one," I said. "I'll go ahead and get it now."
As I began to leave, I saw the people whom I saw last night at the funeral parlor(whom I had hidden from). It was my mother and sister. "What are you doing here?" my mother asked.
"Just leaving," I answered. "I'm going to get the car and leaving."
"You don't know how to drive it."
"Watch me." I left the two ladies as I got in my car and drove away. Of all the places I hated to go in this town, their house was the worst of all. Before I did, I had to pick up some people.

"You sure about this?" Yui asked.
"I have to," I answered. "Just to get my inheritance and leave quickly."
We both went in my car as we drove as fast as we could to my mother's house. I was going so fast, I didn't see the police car far away in one of the places that caught speeders. If it wasn't for Yui shaking me from my trance onto the road, I would have been caught by the police, especially after everything that had happened.
I slowed down just enough to turn onto the road that led to my mother's house. That was when I saw a police car behind us, however, it couldn't have been the same one from the speed trap section. Fortunately, we turned onto the road as the cop went the other direction.
"So, where is it?" Yui asked.
"Gotta get the keys first," I said, "let's hurry."
