The Drop Off

In my book Swindle the deliveryman, Griffin had to deliver a very large wood frame that he did not know what was in the frame, to a shop. Griffin had to muster all of his strength to move his giant delivery. After Griffin delivered the item, the shop owner examined it because he did not hear the delivery truck because he was in the back of the shop. The shop owner did not know what it was, he thought it was a life collection of magazines or comic books. This had to be heavy.

The deliveryman and a 11 year old boy were coming up with a plan so that a family in their neighborhood could stay and not have to move. As they were putting the plan together the 11 year old had to get into a box. If the operation was successful the deliveryman and the boy would get to split one million dollars.What I don't understand about this chapter is why the deliveryman and the boy split the million dollars and not give it to the family, if they need financial help.
