Miles and Ethan were still discussing their next move when a unfamiliar, shrill voice cut through the street noise. The same newspaper boy Cecilia had encountered, Charles, came running past, shouting urgent headlines.
Miles's sharp eyes immediately noticed the familiar, folded, brightly colored banknote sticking out of charles satchel a clear modern note. Miles instantly grabbed the boy's arm.
"Hold on, young man! Where did you get that?" Miles demanded, his voice dropping to a serious tone.
The boy, startled, pulled the note out. "A lady gave it to me! She was dressed fancy, but she was in a panic. I saw her in the nearby town of the upper class," he explained quickly. "Since I'm a local boy, I mostly sell in the middle-class part of Burnsville, and that's where I saw the woman. She gave me this, it is colorful, and I like it!"
