    About this ebook

    Billy has been watching the money truck, as the money is leaded, into the back. However, Billy doesn’t watch the money loading. Billy watches the front of the truck.
    Manolo escorts the driver and the guard to the front of the truck.
    Billy hands the driver a sheet of printed data. “The tires, including the spare, are inflated to these values. The engine is lubed and tuned. The transmission and the differential are also lubed. The electric systems are all checked and everything is up to spec. If you don’t do something stupid, the truck will get you to Mexico, in good order.”
    The driver and the guard get into the truck. The driver starts the engine, which catches on the first half turn. The driver then drives the truck away, for a long trip to Mexico.
    Billy gives an okay sign, for whatever reason and then he tells Manolo, “I hadda work through the night, to get everything right. I’m headed for home and sleep.”
    Manolo grins at the obvious concern of Billy. “Just take it easy, everything is gonna be okay.”
    Billy then turns and walks out of the warehouse.
    * * *
    I get to my own truck. It’s a big pick up. It’s powered by a 427 cubic inch Chevy Rat motor, tuned to give me maybe 450 horsepower, with bags of torque. Everything is tuned and adjusted. Billy, the mechanic, now gonna quickly become a millionaire, several times over.
    I ease out of the parking lot and follow the route that the money truck will take. I have a secret trace installed in the money truck and a receiver in my truck. I just need to wait until the money truck gets to a lonely, flat section of road and then I trigger the sleepy gas container in the money truck and become a millionaire, several times over. I have very carefully planned everything, but I’m still a little nervous.
    After what seems like a lot of time, the money truck gets to the area where I have planed my strike. I hit the activation switch and the money truck interior is filled with sleepy gas, then the engine switches off.
    I’m not too far behind the money truck and I ease up, right behind the money truck. I use a hand truck and I transfer the money from the money truck to my truck, as fast as I can. I don’t make a big effort to count the money but it’s at least $8 million dollars! I get the money transferred fairly quickly, but it still seems like a lot of time. There’s no traffic on the road and I even spend the little extra time to transfer the covers. I get it all done and I put the hand truck in the back of my truck. I get in my truck, fire the engine up and ease on down the road, without even squealing the tires. I follow the main road for a bit and then I turn off on a side road and make a few more turns. I get to the little cabin that I have rented and I put my big truck into the garage, out of public view. I then load a bit less than a million dollars into the storage bags of a motorcycle. When the banks open in the morning, I’ll begin to transfer the money to an account that I have set up with a major bank and then on to an off shore account.
    I then shave my beard and cut my long hair. My appearance is now a lot different than Billy Jones, the mechanic. However, the shaved area, where my beard once was, is light, too light. In the morning, I will rub in some make up, to cover the too light area. It won’t be enough cover, but it’s the best that I can do at least for now.
    I get a meal and then some sleep.
    In the morning, I eat breakfast and then ride down to the first major bank. I get the money counted, through a bank machine and then transferred to my offshore account. By the end of the morning, and several bank visits, I have transferred something over $3.8 million dollars. In the afternoon, I ride a bit further, to another county, and transfer $2.9 million dollars more to my offshore account. The next day, I drive quite a bit further, to still another county, in the rain, and transfer $2.8 million dollars more to my offshore account.<

    Author

    R. Richard

    I'm the co-author, with Sunset Thomas, of Anatomy of An Adult Film.I have 48 novels and over 299 short stories currently published.I spent my early years in the part of Los Angeles known as the South Central. I was known as Whi' Boy, which was sufficient to identify me in that place. I'm a skilled Kung Fu player, using a system that I learned from a Korean I knew only as 'Pak.' It would be easier to tell you the places that Pak wasn't wanted by the police, rather than the places where he was wanted by the police. Pak's Kung Fu system, augmented by some bits and pieces from some Chinese practitioners is quick and effective, or I wouldn't be alive today.My early education was mostly obtained by stealing books from the public library (I always returned them and the Librarian even began to provide me with reading lists.) I did go to high schools, but I never really learned anything there. I eventually graduated from the University of California at Los Angeles, UCLA, with a degree in mathematics.I work as a Systems Analyst and also make a part of my living as a professional gambler (legal in Nevada.) I write science fiction and erotica. My published novels are:Anatomy of An Adult Film (With Sunset Thomas)1. Second Chance: God Killer2. Second Chance: Sky Pirate3. Second Chance: Scroll Seeker4.

      Chapter 1: A Drug Warehouse

      I worked in a warehouse, on the outskirts of a major city. Vehicles came up, from the South and delivered kilo packages of product to the warehouse. As long hair, bearded Billy Jones, my job was to inspect the vehicles and to make sure that the delivery vehicles were in tip top shape. I did a really good job of inspecting and maintaining the vehicles.

      * * *

      Manolo answers the phone, Manolo, how goes the distribution?

      A few little problems compadre, but my crew irons things out quickly and then things run smoothly again, for the most part.

      Manolo, we are getting a few complaints, from the delivery drivers about delays.

      Manolo chuckles, Joaquin, how many vehicle breakdowns from or to this warehouse have been reported?

      Joaquin sighs and says, None, none at all.

      Manolo lectures, Joaquin, I got a mechanic here who’s a little fussy, maybe more than a little. No vehicle goes out, until it’s checked. By checked, I mean the engine oil the transmission oil and the differential oil are all checked for problems. If the chemical testing says problem, the vehicle stays until the problem is repaired, the right way. The cooling system, the belts and hoses, the steering, the wheel alignment, even the universal joints all gotta pass inspection. As they say, ‘A stitch in time saves your ass from jail.’ My mechanic always does a stitch in time.

      Joaquin sighs and says, Manolo, that’s not exactly what they say about a stitch in time, but, yeah, it works.

      Manolo says, We did have a little problem with our distribution system here. I send Jesse in and he gets the problems solved. After a rough start, mostly getting the problems solved now doesn’t even mean murder.

      Joaquin says, Ah yes, Jesse. The one that they call pistolero.

      Manolo says, "Courtesy of the Mexican Army, Jesse is also an expert user of an assault
