In My Desperate Time novel Chapter 89

“Go and get your money now! There is an ATM at the door. I saw it when I came in!”

Frank Noyes presses one hand against my shoulder and the other, still holding the knife to my waist.

I can only follow him out to the ATM.

We walk out and nobody notices the different.

Maybe they just feel that we walk too closely in public. But who will know, the crisis is hidden under harmonious surface?

I withdraw money slowly and count time secretly.

On the way, I saw a police station about one kilometer from the ATM. The police would be here by now if nothing goes wrong.

“How much do you need?” I turn around and ask Frank Noyes.

“Don’t waste time, withdraw as much as you have!” he says impatiently.

I obey his command and sigh of relief.

I need his greed.

I have more than seventy thousand dollars in my bank card, and the ATM can only withdraw three thousand dollars once. It would take a long time to withdraw all of them.

Frank Noyes robs every time I withdraw the money and he counts it greedily.

By the fifth time, I could see out of the corner of my eye that there are several policemen coming this way.

Frank Noyes is still counting the money, so he doesn’t notice.

“Here.”

I give the money to the policeman who come in. The police understand in an instant and tackles Frank Noyes to the ground.

Frank Noyes what happened and snaps at me, “Jane Noyes, you called the police. I'm not going to let you go!”

“Officer, this is my brother. He gives away company trade secrets, he takes drugs, and tries to hurt me with a knife. Take him away.”
