He was preparing the ground before planting a row of radishes.
During this particular autumn he decided to till a section of his garden that had never been used to grow vegetables. This made it a special project to begin with. However, it was this decision that led him to a mystery that he would never be able to solve. He was turning the earth over with his spade when he struck something metal. After carefully clearing the ground around it, he was able to bring it up. It was a small, rusting, metal box. It didn’t have a lock. He pulled the lid open with difficulty and peered inside. At first, he thought it might be a time capsule, but this wasn’t the case. It was a piece of heavy paper, folded to a quarter, that had greyed and become mostly unreadable over time. Most of the writing was completely lost through mould, and in places, the paper had completely disintegrated.
Leaning on his spade, he began to read what he could of it. At the top, he could just make out the words, ‘The True Identity of …’. Whatever came next was illegible. Although, what had been an A4 page, almost full of writing, there was not much left that was discernible. Scanning through it, he was able to read fragments of it. The longest sentence in tact was, ‘born in 1947 to Scottish parents, being the oldest son, he married the daughter of the…’ It ended there. Other lines, like ‘further police investigations’ and ‘international crime syndicate’ and ‘in hiding from’, were legible, but little else.
He thought about it. Whoever buried it had obviously wanted to conceal the identity of someone at that time, but for their own reasons was happy for the truth to be unearthed at some distant, later date. Should he pass all this on to the police? What could they do with it? How involved would he have to be in any new investigation that was started? He thought very carefully about all of this, before making his way back down the side of the house and dropping what he had found into the rubbish bin.
Being something of a pragmatist, he decided he would rather spend his immediate future watching his radishes grow.
