English Story
As soon as I had entered the airport terminal all he could hear was people talking. I proceeded to check in and was waiting in line for at least twenty minutes. I had gotten so bored of waiting that he started to listen in on the conversations people were having around him. One of the conversations he heard had intrigued me, there were rumours going around that there may be an assassination attempt on a lawyer who was representing a witness on a murder trial. This man was heading to Los Angeles to go and represent the witness. These rumours had worried me a little as I was traveling to LA as well. But I didn’t let these thoughts worry me too much.

Would you be so kind as to take this briefcase and deliver it to a man named John when you arrive in LA? I’m willing to pay you $100,000 if you do this.” I felt that this was a bit suspicious but I couldn’t refuse that much money. So he gave me the briefcase and when it was time, I headed onto the plane.
As I got in the plane I found my seat row and put all my carry on luggage into the overhead luggage area. I carefully put the mysterious briefcase into the overhead luggage as the dapper gentleman had said that there is fragile cargo inside of it. I thought that there may
