Okay, a few people have left messages and sent emails, and there was even one annoying incident with a carrier pigeon. But I digress.
Basically, people are wondering why Tim freaked out about a wallet while at the store with his mother and sister. This is becoming a bit of a thing. I mean, I've used cliffhangers before, and while I got a few people wondering what was going on, I didn't think this would be so much of a thing.
So, if you don't read the attached comments, I show you one of the most recent discussions.

Just a sec... are you reading my notes? (Checks notes again.)
Oh, no, you aren't. Good guess, though. I wonder how many more people we could get to guess what set Tim off.
Tee hee. If I were really diabolical about getting people to reread my story just to boost the numbers artificially, I'd tell everyone that the answer is in there; it's just a back chapter that has it.
Tee hee. It's a good thing I'm not as diabolical as that.

Maybe I am diabolical and just never noticed it. Of course, you could go back and reread the story from the beginning in hopes of finding it, or you could be one of the people desperately hoping I will answer it in the following posted chapter.
It could happen, or maybe not.
I dunno.
Seems diabolical.
For those of you who think you know, please don't ruin it for everyone else.
For those who would willingly wait for the answer to be given, I thank you.
Or you could be one of those kids who tore open presents on Christmas Eve instead of waiting to shake your parents outta bed too damned early in the morning to open them only to pass out atop the trash now strewn about the living room.
I dunno why that just came out. Oh well, maybe it's diabolical.
Tee Hee.
