With 15 minutes left on the clock until the county courthouse closes for the weekend, Leticia was all alone at the front desk, deep into a bodice-ripper paperback and hoping that no one walks in at the last minute. As fate would have it, an old man walks through the door wanting to pay his tax bill. In pennies. After trying to convince him not to pay in pennies, he gives the place a good look over and promises to come back. She locks the door after him, ready to go home. Or so she thought.
