Knight in Distress

A couple days ago I was walking into the cafeteria/gymnasium after a hard workout at softball practice. While I was walking towards the locker room I happened to notice a card lying on the floor. As usual curiosity got the best of me and I picked it up. It was only after examining it that I realized that it was KP's insurance card for Blue Cross Blue Shield! You know that feeling you get when you've just found something worth alot? Now imagine that doubled, not only had I found a lost item of KP's it was his insurance card!! A million thoughts whirred through my mind. There was one thing however that didn't cross my mind, keeping the card. While the younger part of me would have kept the card as a keepsake the older part knew to well how traumatizing it can be to lose something like that. So long story short, at lunch the next day as KP was walking (it was like running to me!) towards the gym I stopped him and gave him the card. His response was disbeleif and later gratititude, he even gave me a hug! As I was going home that day I put myself in his shoes and realized how scared I would be that it would fall into the wrong hands.
