I have more than enough. 500,000? That's pocket change. I will get you out of there safely. And besides, your husky has been waiting for you to come home." Husky? What on earth was she talking about?! She had never owned a dog in her life. Evelyn wondered to herself. Then, like a bolt of lightning, the realization struck. "Husky? Oh, please.
