Dirty hands are a sign of clean money.
And the hand that was raised in the basement wasn't dirty. Hardened, yes. But not dirty.
It was Hena's hand as she put herself forward to solve the issue of money.
She wasn't talkative and yet, she went out of the way to speak among so many people.
She went out of her comfort zone only to hear:
"I don't want your money."
Zane outright refused her offer.
Her ever so stone face found expressions and they were of anger.
Xavier and the others dropped their shoulders as they really wanted Zane to accept the money.
They didn't know why the man refused it in the first place.
Hena stepped forward.
"Why?" She asked.
She stood close to Zane and this time, he didn't avert his eyes.
He looked at her straight.
"You saved Milo's life. I am grateful for it. But I can't take your money."
"Why?" Hena asked again. "I know you want it."
