Gary
The man who opened the door looked exactly like the photo.
Thin. Gray hair. Leaning on a cane.
I held out the wallet.
“I think this belongs to you.”
For a second, he just stared.
Then he opened it… and his entire body seemed to relax.
“I thought it was gone,” he whispered. “That’s my pension.”
His hands shook as he checked the money.
Then he pulled out a hundred-dollar bill and held it toward me.
“Please. Take this.”
I shook my head.
“I didn’t bring it back for a reward.”
He studied me for a long moment.
“Then why?” he asked.
“Because it’s yours.”
He smiled.
Not a big smile.
Just a quiet one.
“You’re a rare man, Evan.”
