Neighbor Investigates as Woman Buries Jars filled with Money
Ryan noticed that his neighbor, Sandra, was often digging in her garden, sometimes even at night. He was curious and decided to investigate the whole thing. When he was astonished to realize that she was burying jars filled with money, he wanted to know more. Why would someone do such a thing? Soon, he understood the reasons, and they were worse than he could have ever imagined.
Ryan's Neighbor
Ryan stood at the kitchen window, watching his neighbor dig yet another hole in the garden. He had observed her several times, but couldn't understand what it could possibly mean. He had to admit that curiosity had been nagging at him for a while.
He had many theories that could provide an explanation, but the true reason was worse than he could have ever imagined. It took him a while to piece together all the parts of the story. He still had no idea what mystery was hidden behind his neighbor and what she was burying in the garden.
Taking Action
Ryan realized that he had to take action if he really wanted to uncover the mystery. He couldn't sit in his kitchen and speculate about the woman and her shovel. He thought of a plan and even considered involving the police.
What if Sandra was burying or planting something illegal in her garden? But what could he tell the police to pique their interest? Maybe she was really just planting something...
Ryan and Sandra
As Ryan was about to take the trash out, something caught his attention and made him stop. It was already dark, but he could clearly see someone in the neighbor's garden. It took a few minutes for his eyes to adjust to the darkness, but then he could see it clearly.
It was his neighbor, Sandra, quietly sneaking around the garden and probably digging more holes. Ryan had often seen Sandra in the garden, even at night, and the circumstances were usually mysterious.
In the Garden
Ryan wondered again what she could be up to. In the past, Ryan and Sandra had always been friendly to each other. They often talked over the garden fence when the weather was nice, and they both enjoyed gardening. But now, they rarely saw each other.
Ryan hardly ever saw her during daylight hours. Lately, it seemed like she was only in the garden when it was dark. At first, he didn't think much of it, but as time passed, he became more curious about what might be happening.
Finding Another Approach
He decided that it would be strange to just approach her and ask what she was doing - they hadn't had a conversation for a long time, and Sandra was clearly doing her best not to be seen.
Whatever she was doing was obviously a secret. Ryan had to find another way to uncover her secret. He set down the garbage bags and turned off the light in the kitchen, hoping to remain unnoticed by Sandra.
She was Hiding Something
Even though she was preoccupied with her secret, she often looked over her shoulder and made sure that no one was watching her. Ryan didn't want to risk her finding out that he was observing her in this way - otherwise, she would probably think she was in danger or he was just being particularly strange.
It was curiosity that drove him, and if someone was being strange, it was definitely her. What was she doing in the darkness? She had something to hide, and he was determined to uncover it.
Night Excavations
Ryan peered through the window, unable to make out exactly what his neighbor was doing. He wasn't close enough, and it was dark outside. Suddenly, he remembered he had a pair of binoculars at home. Maybe they would help him see better.
He rummaged through his cupboard, where he stored all sorts of things. At first, he couldn't find them, but then an old wooden box sprung open, revealing the dusty binoculars eagerly awaiting their use.
Digging in the Grass
Ryan hurried back to the window and was relieved to see that his neighbor was still out there. He peered through the binoculars and could now clearly see her on her knees in the grass, digging through the earth with a shovel in hand.
He knew she wasn't gardening. After all, it was pitch dark, and who digs holes in the middle of the night? It was an extremely peculiar situation.
What Was Going on?
What made the whole thing even stranger was the fact that Sandra had done this before. In fact, Ryan had seen her doing it several times. He knew it was wrong to spy, but he couldn't resist.
He was desperate to find out what she was doing! Instead of leaving the woman alone, he grabbed a chair, made himself comfortable, and continued watching her. His gaze never leaving her for a second. Would he be able to unravel the secret?
A Bag
Soon, he took a closer look and noticed a bag sitting on the ground next to her. She opened it and took something out. Ryan's breath caught in his throat as he saw what it was. What was she going to do with that?
Sandra had taken out a jar from the bag, filled with money. Ryan raised an eyebrow, barely believing his eyes. Was he seeing it correctly? Did she really place the jar in the hole in the ground?
Burying the Money
Slowly but surely, she filled the hole with dirt until the jar became hidden from sight. Ryan couldn't make sense of it. How many times had his neighbor buried money, and why? Perhaps she was involved in criminal activities and needed to hide her money.
Or maybe there was no real explanation, and the woman had simply gone mad, losing trust in the banking system? Whatever it was, Ryan was determined to find out and come up with a plan.
A Plan
Of course, Ryan couldn't just walk over and ask her what she was doing. Instead, he had another idea. He would observe her from the kitchen to figure out what she was doing and why. He hoped that one day he would receive an answer.
The next day, as darkness fell, he sat by the window again, with the kitchen lights off and his binoculars in hand. He was ready! He waited as time passed, but no one came. Sandra must have had different plans.
A Weekly Ritual
The following nights remained quiet as well. Ryan waited by the window, hoping that Sandra would enter the garden. Two weeks went by, and Sandra only visited the garden twice. She seemed to be following a pattern.
Every week, on the same day, at the same time, she buried the jars in her garden. It was a weekly endeavor. Ryan concocted fantastic stories that could explain her behavior, but they couldn't bring him any closer to the truth.
Something Strange
He wondered what her reason could be. Was this a peculiar way of saving money? Or was she hiding it from someone? Ryan had no clue, but he had also noticed something else about his neighbor Sandra that he found a bit strange.
He had never noticed it before, but now that he was investing so much time into finding out more, he couldn't ignore it. Why hadn't this fact caught his attention before? Ryan was a little annoyed with himself.
Strange Visitors
Sandra was constantly on the move. She was home every day but would leave the house at least once an hour. And she never stayed away for long. Moreover, she often received mysterious visitors - cars would stop by her house, and several people Ryan didn't recognize would come and go constantly.
As he paid attention to these mysterious visitors, uneasiness washed over Ryan. He started to recognize one of the men who always came to Sandra's house, and although Ryan didn't want to judge anyone based on appearances, the visitors mostly didn't look particularly friendly.
Ryan was confused
What did the stranger have to do with Sandra? He seemed quite shady, and he didn't look like someone she would be friends with. Ryan had a feeling that something was off, but he didn't want to get involved.
Until one night when he heard something that made him change his mind. It was Thursday again, the day when Sandra always buried her money jars in her garden. Ryan observed her again from the kitchen, binoculars in hand. It had been a warm day, so he had left the window open.
She was Crying
He heard a strange noise that he couldn't immediately identify. At first, he thought it might be a cat meowing in his yard or perhaps a little bird making strange sounds. Was it an animal?
But the noise didn't stop, and soon, after taking another look around, Ryan realized what the noise actually was. It was Sandra, her face buried in her hands. She was crying.
He Approached Her
He watched as she wiped away the tears from her face while continuing to dig another hole in the ground. She looked so sad. Suddenly, something took hold of Ryan, and he opened the door, stepped outside, and walked up to the fence that separated their gardens.
As he stood there, he suddenly realized that this might have been a mistake. He regretted getting involved, but now he couldn't just turn around and run away, could he?
Wanting to Run Away
She hadn't noticed him being there yet, so maybe he could just sneak away without being seen. He had already turned around and was ready to return to his house when he heard the woman quietly crying again.
He sighed and turned back around. His decision was made. He couldn't just let the woman cry without taking care of her. He opened his mouth to say something comforting to her, "Uh, Sandra? Is everything alright?"
She Got Angry
As soon as she heard him, she quickly hid the money jar - probably unaware that he had already seen it - and looked at him angrily. "What are you doing here?! Go away!" she said to him. Ryan hadn't expected such a reaction, and he was taken aback.
However, he didn't give up and stayed by the fence until Sandra was ready to talk to him. She told him everything: she had lost her job and somehow ended up under the command of a wanted criminal.
A Happy Ending
She had to do all sorts of dirty jobs to earn money, but lately, her new boss had been taking much more money from her than they had agreed upon. So, she hid the money in her garden, where she knew he wouldn't find it.
In the end, Ryan helped Sandra escape from the criminal life, and he helped her find a job that she enjoyed and that paid well enough to live a comfortable life.
