Digging Deeper

Erin's father didn't get home until late.

She heard him come in at 2am and knock over a glass in the kitchen.

...

The next day Erin woke up and saw the smashed glass pieces all over the kitchen floor.

She got out a broom and swept it up.

Erin got down on her knees to look under the stove for any more pieces.

She saw something orange, so she reached her hand under to grab it.

Erin pulled out a small circular disc.

It looked like one of those chips used for gambling and it had a distinctive golden triangle on it.

She looked at the thing, quite puzzled.

Not knowing what to do with it now, she just pushed it back under.

Erin looked at the time and saw that her father would be late for work.

She knocked on his bedroom door and called, "Dad! Dad, you are late!"

Her Father opened his door looking shocked.

He ran about the apartment grabbing his bag and shoes.

As he was leaving, Erin called to him "Dad!..".
