The DRAMA.

"When I was a kid, there were about 6/8 families in our area who were a good group of friends."

"This night was going as normal until we're all shuffled out and home earlier than usual."

"We got the full story the next day."

:Once the kids were out of the way, the owners of the house had turned on their tv and pressed play on a video.:

"On screen there was cctv of the bedroom where the money had been going missing."

" Clearly in the video you could see the wife of one of the other couples, sitting in that very room, going into the drawer and taking money."

"Everyone else left shortly after."- FumbleMyEndzone
