A middleâaged man carried a case at Zealand Airport. He hopped on a plane heading for Seechertown Airport in a hurry.
He waited all afternoon and finally arrived at Seechertown Airport. After that, he left the airport and anxiously waited for a cab..
A young man eyed the guyâs suitcase and smiled.
The young man walked straight at him and bumped right into him. The man fell and his suitcase also dropped to the floor,
It was at that moment, the young man opened the suitcase at an unnoticeable speed. He took out a wooden box from the suitcase and casually swapped it with a piece of tile he removed from the floor, after which he closed the suitcase.
The middleâaged man was still on the floor after the switcheroo.
The young man tossed the wooden box into the flower bush. Then, he hurriedly helped the middleâaged man up and apologized.
The man looked around and hurriedly grabbed his suitcase. He asked the young man, âWhatâs wrong with you?
âOops, I slipped. Iâm so sorry.â
The cab arrived at that moment. The middleâaged man scoffed, then quickly got in the cab and left.
The young man watched him leave and chuckled. He mumbled to himself, âThereâs nothing I canât steal.â
The middleâaged man headed toward the hotel in a cab. He rushed to the room where Sammy was staying.
Sammy saw the man and sighed in relief. She said, âDom, youâre finally here.â
âSammy, whatâs the rush? Why do you need the family heirloom?â he asked.
She replied, âForget about that. Just show it to me first.â
âWhat could go wrong?â he complained as he opened the suitcase.
She frowned and said, âThis is crucial! I canât afford anything to go wrong.â
Dom opened the suitcase and they saw a piece of floor tile inside. They were dumbfounded.
âWhat is this?â Sammy screamed.
Dom was stunned for a long while. He then slapped his head and said, âOh no! It must have been when I was at the airport. That guy stole it.â
âOh no! Itâs over, itâs all overâ¦â Sammy felt like all hope was gone.
Dom was pacing around in panic too. After a while, he quickly said. âLetâs call the police. We still have hope.â
âItâs the only thing we can do now.â She looked dejected. They quickly rushed toward the nearest police
station.
