It had started with him finding the suitcase.
Now, sitting on a small settee, with the case next to him, he looked around the unfamiliar room trying hard to clear his head. He needed to think. He’d travelled through the night to get there, many hours and a great distance from his home. Far away from where it had all begun. He’d not stopped shaking all the time he was driving. It was all he could do to go the distance without crashing the car. He thought back to how he had seen the large, black suitcase tucked between two bushes the previous evening, while on his regular walk home from the bus stop to his flat. It was a very odd place to leave such a thing and he figured it had been dumped there because somebody just couldn’t be bothered to dispose of it properly.
He was going to ignore it at first, but on second thoughts he’d decided to take it to the rubbish skip behind his block of flats. He could be a good citizen. He wouldn’t be going out of his way by doing it, would he? However, everything changed when he tried to pick it up! It was incredibly heavy. Out of a growing curiosity more than anything, he managed to drag it out and tip it onto its side. Surprisingly, when he tried the catches they both popped open. When he lifted the lid there was just enough light from the street lamps to enable him to get a brief glimpse at a layer of banknotes.
He had surprised himself at how quickly he came to the decision to fall onto the wrong side of the law by taking the case home… as quickly as possible. Although it had only been a two-minute walk, it was the hardest thing he’d ever done. Fortunately, only one car had passed by when he was struggling with the weight of it. He must have looked a bit odd, but the vehicle had just carried on without slowing at all.
The thing had obviously not been simply dumped. It was placed there for a later pick up. There must have been a very short time frame between it being put there and the time it was due to be collected by someone else. It had to be a major robbery that had gone wrong and the money had needed to be stashed briefly while other arrangements were made.
Now, in this strange motel room, he sat for a while. Despite missing out on a night’s sleep, he could think. He could think fairly clearly. He had to, because he needed to plan ahead. He could relax. Nobody knew he was there. He felt safe for the first time since finding it. He needed to disappear. He had to start a new life elsewhere.
He looked back at the case. He had just finished counting it all… for the fourth time. The case held exactly two million, all in used notes, each bundle held with elastic bands, layer after layer.
He was sitting there with his eyes closed, considering his next move, when there was a loud knock on the door…
Keep functioning ,terrific job!
