Soon after, she and John, along with trusted staff, moved the gold from their inherited estate outside of London, to the caves created by the metal strongholds in the salt mines.
The gold sat in the salt mines for a long period, and was only moved in the early 1920s to a warehouse in Paris. Soon after being moved, the gold cache was added to by one of the custodians who had inherited responsibility over the gold, who had also been a double agent for the West. She had infiltrated the Bolsheviks of Russia who had formed a Trust. The custodian, who was also a double-agent of the West had stumbled on plans the Trust had drawn up that showed they planned to use the gold being sent by the West to Stalin, to help the Russian leader prop up his government, to fund the Trust’s spying operations abroad, instead.
She’d managed to divert the gold shipment bound for Moscow and sent it to Paris, where her fellow custodian, a French art dealer and bon vivant, had secured it, along with the original gold cache, in one of his warehouses.
Later, in the early 1940s, the gold cache was moved again, back to the salt mines in the border between Germany and Austria, and was added to by a German officer, who’d become one of the custodians, along with an American industrialist. The German officer had stumbled on shipments of gold that he had found out had been illegally seized, and, working with contacts of the other custodian, had redirected these to the gold cache stored in the salt mines. They had the metal strongholds reinforced using the latest techniques at that time prior to moving the gold cache.
The gold cache was added to again by later custodians, with the last significant addition occurring in the mid 1980s, when gold meant to pay for a nuclear warhead and illegal arms were diverted by the custodians at that time. At that time, the gold cache had been housed in the dungeons of a Scottish castle that belonged to one of the custodians at that time. The other custodian was the wife of a powerful industrialist in Sweden, who had been instrumental in redirecting the gold that would have been used to finance an illegal arms trade.

‘It could turn out to be a fatal mistake’ is the intriguing tempting sentence and then 21 pages later we’re still wondering!
Great Story over it’s many twists and turns and another great chapter. Thank you looking forward to 33.
Indeed still wondering about that sentence.
It is a very good and intriguing story, so many happens and it keeps you captivated to the end.
I like all appreciate the beauty of Brete, I like Tom drooling over Bette, Tina presume I like his love Bette, please keep writing and indulging with your stories, thank you very much!
I bet those fishing shops have nice little pointy knives…the kind you can strap to….well – where ever you can hide one ! The girls have to win ! Mr Green with the lead pipe in the library ! Get that snake off her path !
Love your story and look forward to every twist! I don’t even try to guess where you’re going, but just hang on for the bumpy ride. I’m probably in the minority, but I can’t stomach Tom! He is so inappropriate and disrespectful. A peeping Tom that doesn’t bother to hide in the bushes. At least Ashley called him out on his behavior. Cannot imagine Tina allowing him to be their donor and Bette allowing him to continually ogle her. Don’t imagine Bette would tolerate Miller acting that way towards Tina. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Hi, am glad you are enjoying the story, and thanks for telling me what you think. Several thoughts in response: 1) the Bette in this storyline is an inveterate flirt, something that Tina has had problems with from the start ( see early chapters in “Let It Happen” and a few chapters in “Love Soul Heaven Hell), yet she believes she’s in control of it… we’ll see; 2) all the same, she is insanely devoted to Tina; 3) and Tina feels the same. But still, there was a point when they were questioning their expectations about the other (in their own ways; in “Let It Happen”). I have to say I once wrote out a couple of chapters that threw into that (crazy) mix an issue, sexual fluidity, that seems highly relevant to people. Or maybe fluidity expressed in various ways — one chapter that was going into “Let It Happen” after they broke up, and another for “Love Soul Heaven Hell” after the chapter on cheating), that explored those issues in an interlocking way. The chapters were interesting, and took the storyline in unexpected directions, but they each didn’t fit into the flow of the books, so I ended up shelving them. I may pick up on them again, because I think the topic is… well, topical!
In the meantime, I hope Tom doesn’t turn you completely off the rest of the story. (Maybe you can give him a break … don’t we all have those male friends who we know we won’t end up dating but like playing with, anyway?) :-) hope you enjoy the rest of the ride.
ok, from the fishing shop Miller gets a box cutter to be detected by Green’s detector which gives him a feeling of being clever. She also gets 2 or 3 large plastic cable ties, makes great restraints, some plastic fishing line that can be wrapped around the neck, easy and a lot of praying! Excellent chapter. Keep going!!!! PLEASE.
I do not like all this charm
Tom play Bette, ok! He and his friend
only he does not bother to hide
Tina how much he deseha his wife.
Changing the subject I like the pace

decorer details about the narrative.
