Stolen Gold
Part 1
Back in 1983 there was a gold robbery and so far only a few ingots have been recovered, most of the gold has not been found yet. There is a guy who knows where the gold is hidden but he has kept the secret for the last 20 odd years. But things change when he has a heart attack so sine he wants to pass on the locating to his partners he puts the information on a micro dot, then hides it in a book.
Since he knows he is being watched by not only the police and insurance company that paid out on the loss of the gold, but he knew some other criminal gangs were watching him as well. So he came up with a plan to get the information to his partner, his daughter visited him one a month, at first he was just going to get her to post the book with the micro dot in it, but that was a bit risky, what if the book gets lost or falls into the wrong hands.
When his daughter Suez arrived later that day he had worked out a plan and had arranged everything, he told Suez his plan and she said I’ll help you do that. Across the other side of the road one of the rival gangs were watching, but so was the police. They saw her slip off her right black high-heeled stiletto court shoe and hand it to him, then she limped over to a chair and sat down crossing her bare foot leg over the other one. He took her shoe into another room and then pulled back the inside lining, then placed the microdot inside, then replaced the lining.
Moments later he returned to the room were Suez was sitting slowly swinging her bare foot from side to side. He handed her the shoe and she slipped it back on, then he gave her a package and told her to take it to the post office and send it via first class mail. Ok she said I’ll take it now and see you later, it might be next week if I can manage it, ok Suez it’s always nice to see you.
Suez walked out and down the road towards the post office then without warning her heel of her right shoe slipped into the joint between the paving slabs and she stepped out of it taking a few steps before stopping and half hoping back to slip it back on. But it was stuck and she had to slip her foot out and bend down to pull it out with her hands, after a bit of pulling and wiggling it came free and she looked at the heel for any damage but apart from a few scratches it was ok, she slipped it back on her bare foot after first brushing the grit from the sole of her bare foot.
She carried on walking into town and soon came to the post office and went in and up to the counter, she handed over the parcel and said can you please send it by first class, he weighed the parcel and said ok that’s £3.50, ok said Suez handing over the money, she then turned and went back out onto the pavement. She looked around to see if she had been followed and sure enough she spotted one across the road looking in a shop window.
Suez started to walk toward her flat she knew she was being followed and made a detour into the tube station just as it was getting very busy. The two gang members that was following her lost her in the crowd, they looked around trying to find her and one said if we see her get her right shoe I bet that is were the microdot is hidden and not in the book as we first thought. Ok said the other guy, just then he spotted her heading towards a waiting train so he rushed forwards and stepped on the back of her right shoe just as she entered the train compartment, at that point the doors closed and she was trapped on the train minus her right shoe. He bent down and picked up her shoe and headed back to this partner, nice job him mate said, lets get the shoe back to the boss and let him find the micro dot, I think we will be getting a nice big cut of the gold don’t you, they both were very pleased with them selves.
In the mean time Suez had been hiding by the newsstand and had seen everything including that poor lady they had taken the shoe from. I bet she is feeling embarrassed wearing only one shoe, I know I did last year when I lost a shoe in the same way and had to walk around town for an hour wearing a single high heeled shoe. She headed back out of the station and started walking down town.
Just then she got her shoe caught in the pavement again and stepped out of it, but this time she picked it up and looked at it and said oh dear I have damaged the heel this time I better get it fixed. She slowly walked off carrying her right shoe and walking on tiptoe on her bare foot. After about 10 minutes she reached the shoe repair shop and went in.

20 minutes earlier another woman had came into the shoe carrying one shoe with a damaged heel and was now sitting on one of the chairs with her shoeless foot crossed over the shod one. Suez smiled as she pasted her and went up to the counter and put her shoe on the counter, a guy came out from the backroom and said it look like you have damaged the heel, yes said Suez can you fix it and looked at him in a knowing way, he just grinded at her and said ok. He took her shoe into the back and Suez limped over and sat down next to the other woman, a few minutes later he came out with the other woman’s shoe and she got up and limped over to the counter, he handed her the shoe and she put it on and said what do I owe you to that he replayed no charge, ok thanks she said and turned and went out of the shop.
The guys goes into the back of the shop and after a few minutes comes out with her shoe, but just as she gets up there is a police raid and the guy is arrested and is handcuff then taken out to a waiting car, Suez is then handcuffed still only wearing one shoe. She is taken out and put into a car all the time complaining about wearing one shoe and she wants her other one, but they just take her to the police station in her one shoe state. She is taken to an interview room and is sat down at the table and handcuffed to the table, after about an hour a detective comes in and the first think Suez asks is what about my missing right shoe I want it back now. Ok all in good time the detective says, after an hour of taking he says you can go now, but your shoe is being examined at the moment and will be held as evidence at the moment.
Oh great Suez says you mean I will have to walk home like this I’m beginning to feel like Cinderella but where is my prince with my other shoe. She limps out of the police station walking on tiptoe with her bare foot. By the time she gets home the stocking on her bare foot was worn away and her bare foot was all red and sore from her long walk.
In the mean time the other woman who left the repair shop just before the raid had now got to the airport and was boarding a plane bound for Pairs.
