A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at his dive(潜水) beach bar couldn't find her wallet. She didn't care about her ID, credit cards, or $150 in cash—but her wedding ring was inside. Gilleece didn't like the idea that stealing could have occurred at his place, so he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours looking through footage(片段) from 16 different surveillance cameras(监控摄像头), watching the woman's every step in the bar. At 4pm, the woman went to sit on a bench outside the bar and left when her taxi arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a hoodie(连帽衫) approached the bench, put something in his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted a picture on the bar's Facebook page. Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old Rivers Prather, who'd heard about the post from his sister. Prather admitted having taken the wallet and told Gilleece he'd done it because he hadn't eaten in two days. He said he saw the ring but thought it was fake(假的), so he took the money and threw the wallet off the public docks(码头) into the ocean. Then he bought a sandwich. Gilleece, unsure whether he believed Prather, told the teen to meet him at the docks. There, they got to talking, and Prather told him that he wasn't getting along with his family and had been living in the woods for a week. Gilleece, a father of two, looked up and down Prather—his small figure, his red cheeks—and saw him for what he was: more of a kid than a criminal. But the police were already on the case, and because of the missing ring, Prather could be facing crime charges. "He would be going to prison,” Gilleece thought to himself. "I had to help him somehow." So, Gilleece hired two divers to search the waters where Prather had thrown the wallet. When Gilleece and Prather arrived at the docks at noon the next day, a policeman was already waiting there. …… Just then a diver appeared out of the water. 答案：When Gilleece and Prather arrived at the docks at noon the next day, a policeman was already waiting there. Gilleece told him that he had to wait. Meanwhile, the divers jumped into the water, beginning searching for the ring. A crowd had gathered to watch the two divers scout in the strong current. More than an hour passed, with no sign of the ring. Gilleece grew worried, especially when the policeman began peppering Prather with questions, trying to get him to admit to keeping the ring. Each passing minute increased the chances that he would arrest the young man. Just then a diver appeared out of the water. In his hand was the wallet, and inside was the ring. Cheers erupted from the spectators. Even the policeman was happy. When Gilleece called the wallet's owner, she burst into tears. She immediately dropped the crime charges against Prather, and he was permitted to go through a misdemeanor diversion program for stealing the $150. But it wasn't over for Gilleece. He'd been troubled about Prather sleeping in the cold woods. After long deliberation, he told the teen he could stay with his family until he got on his feet again.
