Bullion

by James Pattinson

Alan Caley was far from being delighted to receive a phone call from his old school pal Chuck Brogan, suggesting the two of them should get together for lunch and talk. It was quite some time since he had last seen Brogan and he remembered that the man had taken part in a gold robbery, for which he had been sent to prison for a number of years. So now he was out and apparently looking up new acquaintances. Or at least one old acquaintance. Caley felt inclined to refuse the invitation, but Brogan was persuasive and hinted that the meeting might turn out to be to Caley's advantage - financially. And Caley could surely use some help in that respect, since his business was going down the drain and he was pushed for money. So he agreed to have lunch with Brogan, little suspecting what dire consequences were to stem from that free meal.
