Abstract
“I’ve never been so stunned in all my life. I just sat there starin’ at the piles of money I’d packed into my suitcases. Finally, Willie broke the silence. ‘We need to get off this island tonight,’ he said. ‘If we don’t, half the Maine State Police will be lookin’ for us by tomorrow. They’ll go house-to-house if they have to, and they’ll search ’til they find us. If we don’t get off this island before daylight, you’re as good as dead.’
