Operation Trojan Horse Part 4
It was another busy Friday night at the watering hole. The workers at the port had been paid earlier in the evening and had turned out in force. Most drank to forget. To numb the pain of their dismal and dreary lives. To escape from the foreman, the work, the wife, their debts……whatever their nemesis in life might be.
Amongst the honest workers, the dishonest were also hard at work, planning and plying their nefarious trades. The inn had become notorious as a meeting place for criminals and other unsavoury characters. Life was precious to all of them, so nobody interfered in anyone else’s business.
A man in a shabby looking cloak entered the inn and looked around. In the corner, he spotted who he was looking for and began to make his way towards him.
“So, what do you have for me today?”
“That depends. What do you have for me?”
The man reached inside his cloak and pulled out a small bag. He took a gold coin and offered it to the other man.
Leaning forward, he whispered in a conspiratorial manner “The fat man’s ship should be coming in next week.”
“What? The fat man…..” He thought for a minute then jangled the bag of coins. “Tell me more.”
“This is the biggest one yet. Goods from everywhere. No guards. The fat man has always relied on secrecy and so far it hasn’t let him down.”
“If your information is correct, you will be richly rewarded”. He left the bag of coins on the table, got up and left.
