Grace was used to this kind of person. They looked down on sanitation workers, and even if they knocked into one, they would push the blame on them.
"Forget it, Claire, it's no big deal," Grace said as she and Claire continued sweeping the streets. After knocking off from work, Grace changed out of her uniform. She found a silver bracelet in one of her pockets.
"When did this bracelet get into my pocket?" Grace was puzzled. As she was on the night shift, not many people were around. She put away the bracelet and decided to put it at the Lost and Found Counter the following day.
When she got back to the rental apartment, it was dark and quiet.
In the past, when she got back from her night shift, the house had been bright because Jason had always been waiting for her. However, when Grace switched on the light, the room was empty. She could not help smiling wryly.
When she lay in bed, she took out the bracelet. It must have belonged to a child and the design looked ordinary. She recalled that she had had a similar one when she was young.
She wondered how the bracelet had ended up in her pocket. Suddenly, she remembered the man who had knocked into her during the day. This bracelet could belong to him.
However, at one glance, she saw that the bracelet looked worthless. She wondered if the man would come back to look for it. Grace let out a sigh and decided not to dwell on it. She would report it to Sanitation Service Center the following day.
She was not aware that the man who had knocked into her had been besieged by a group of people in a hotel room. He was beaten up and being interrogated by them.
