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.
