Payable on Death
Beatrice Nkemelu took the book and the slip and did what a teller does, which is open the account record on a screen to check the balance against the amount requested.
And two things happened in the same second.
The balance was sixty-one four twenty-eight and the slip said sixty-eight thousand, which meant she could not process it at all.
The funds were not there.
That is not a judgement and it is not suspicion; a teller physically cannot disburse money that does not exist.
And the comment box came up on the screen.
