Doreen has to be up by the crack of dawn to let in the neighbors and others, including a police officer, who are all waiting for 4:00PM to find out if they will all be millionaires or paupers. Her father and mother are presiding over the party and show everyone to a seat on the fancy new furniture. The tension mounts as the hour of judgement nears. Doreen remembers how her grandmother warned her father not to move to Arizona only two months ago. There was something in the family’s past from one hundred years ago about shady goings on in this pioneer state which had just become part of the Union in those days. Funny how her father trusted all his money to a man he didn’t know as well as all of his neighbor’s money, and now this. Could it be revenge out of the past?
Only Josh isn’t here. Her new boyfriend told her last night that he had an idea. She wondered if he was pursuing it right now. Somebody had better do something or they will probably all be finished in only a couple of hours by greedy people who want to rob them of everything they have as the clock ticks down to 4PM.
