"So Lucy where are we headed?" I asked it after a half hour in her convertible.

"We are going home. To be more precise we are going to your new home."

"Oh and where might that be?"

"The jacket is in my briefcase in the trunk. After lunch you can read all about it."

So we are headed north for the next hour or so while I try to guess what is next in my life?"

"Pretty much," she agreed.

"You could just tell me you know."

"What and spoil the surprise, not on your life." She sat quietly smiling for a while then added. "You could tell me where the ten million is?

"I told you I don't have it. Yes I conned the ten mil out of Sanchez but I had it stolen from me."

"And I told you. I don't believe you."

"Well we are at an impasse on the ten mil." I turned my attention to the passing scenery. At least part of what I had told her was true. Eleanor had stolen the money from me. She had also sent me a zip drive with all the information I needed to recover my half from an off shore bank. The zip drive rested comfortable inside a brown envelop, inside box 232 , Box 232 was located inside a mail boxes plus store in Atlanta Ga.

El chose Atlanta because it was the southeast airline hub. I could lay over there long enough to pick up the zip drive and no one would be the wiser. El had decided to disappear into the vastness of Europe. It would be almost impossible for the Sanchez brothers to find her with five mil to use for escape money. They did not have that much influence in eastern Europe. Five mil in some of the old USSR countries would go a long, long way.

I wanted to stay in the USA where the Sanchez brothers had more influence, so I needed the help of the US Marshal's service. That is why El was having dinner in some swank casino in Europe, while I was in a red convertible headed for places unknown. It seemed like a pretty good trade to me. I never cared much for foreigners.
