The driver looked at the crack in the rear window. "Mr. Kingston, the car…"

Olivia observed the buildings in the village. "Ethan, was this place eroded by natural disasters in the past?"
"That's right, young lady. More than 20 years ago, there was a flood in our village. That flood was quite something.
"Our village is poor, and no one could patch things up, so the buildings remain the same as they were 20 years ago."
An old man walked over to them. "Are you here to invest in the village?"
Olivia and Ethan were dressed completely differently from the other residents of the village. They looked rich at first glance.
Many villages were able to escape poverty and get rich, so the residents of this village admired the others a lot. They wished that some rich man would come over and invest in their village too.
Olivia's expression shifted a little. "Did the flood wash a young girl away?"
"A young girl? I can't say for sure. Many people and houses were washed away back then."
Ethan noticed the changes in Olivia's expression. "Did you think of something?"
"I'm not sure yet. Do you have cash on you?"
