Mel stealing from Gus's college fund

The only thing I can remember about this fic is Brian overhears Ted talking about Mel stealing a considerable amount of money from Gus' college fund. Mel and Lindz are not together and he asks lindz about it.

Argh. I know I've read this, but I can't pin it down. I've been looking through the anti-mel tags, may have even clicked on the right one and not realized it, but I haven't found it.

Could you add a "still looking" update?

Sorry, been in the hospital. I remember the amount was $15,000, still looking.

I'm not 100% sure this is the story but I think the story you are looking for is Timeless by Cynical

In second half of chapter 40 is the part about the 15,000 dollars etc

Melanie squared her shoulders. "I did what I thought was best. Please, Linz, understand that it was a huge opportunity. That it was . . ."

"We had scrimped together $15,000.00 in Gus's college fund," Lindsey said quietly, as much to herself as to the others around her. "If I go online to check the balance . . . what am I going to find, Mel?"

"I thought . . . I wanted to take advantage of the chance to make sure that he'd have what he needs - when the time comes."


It was your second note about 15,000 dollars that triggered my memory.
