>>5961473Your first impulse is to return right back to the secret society, now that you've smoothing things over with dad. Both for the purpose of possibly giving them your money to manage or even launder, and for wanting to spend more time there. You're not sure yet if you want to let on that you're superhuman since that seems like it would be the deciding point of commitment, but just as an establishment it was a pretty nice place all things considered. Apart from the cutthroat nature, the murder and selective breeding, but yes apart from that it was nice!
The more your concerns about the money linger in your mind though, the more weight they start to burden you with. Eventually to thoughts even, that perhaps you should just throw it away to avoid getting caught with it? In the end though your dad can at least convince you against doing anything too drastic, but there's no helping the discomforting paranoia that persists. If you do have your misgivings about reaming here under suspicion though, then why not leave? Skip town for awhile till the heat (or the perceived heat) dies down, and you can return to normalcy.
Of course realistically speaking, given the amount of money you stole and from who, the heat will probably never die down in that regard. Especially if some long-running and many years-spanning investigation into the matter is launched, as is likely to happen. But at least you'll personally feel better about the matter, as much as you care to delude yourself!
<span class="mu-b">"-yeah, like a vacation? Something like that... you want to come with?"</span>
<span class="mu-g">"Thanks hun, but I think it'd be better to stay and hold down the fort. Besides, you won't be taking the money with you, right?"</span>
As much as it'd be nice to travel someplace with your dad, really your reason for doing so is to have him along to deal with things for you that you're uncomfortable with, like interacting with strangers wherever you'll be and adjust to unfamiliar places. But he raises a good point that you're probably not going to be traveling around carrying millions of dollars and a gold brick with you, as well as that it might be suspicious to anyone who knew your family, if you both up and left town after the robbery.
So he's willing to stay and cover for you, some excuse about looking to out-of-state colleges, while finding a good place to hide the money. Or most of it, you'll be taking some with you for sure in case you should need any. He'll be able to find a place to stash the stolen wealth that the police wouldn't find even if they had some reason to search your house and the property.
