I reached for my wallet, ready to swipe my card, only to find it had insufficient funds. I tried several other cards, but all of them had been frozen. Who else could've done this, if not Huxley Carlson? Fuming, I called him. It wasn't until the third attempt that he finally answered. "Huxley, have you gone mad? You froze all my cards!
