George smile to himself
This is going to be easy
He took out his knife and started to pry off the lid. He worked carefully, prying each nail loose so he was finished
He’d made it halfway around when he heard a strange sound.
The hair on his arms prickled.
It was the same feeling he’d had night of the panther, that someone – or something - was wathching him
George stared at the create, his heart pounding.
And before he could even take a breath, something leaped out of the shadows and pushed him to the ground.
George looked up, half expecting to see a mummy rising out of the crate, her arms reaching for George’s throat.
What he saw almost as horrifying.
It was a man with glittering blue eyes and scar running down the side of his face.
He grabbed George’s knife out of his hand. The man was small, but very strong.
“ I’ll take this, “ he said, admiring it. Then he looked George up and down.
“So,” the man said. “ Trying to fill your pockets with some first class loot?”
George realized he must be a robber. George had caught him in the act!
“ Uh, no, I’m…”
The man pointed to George’s boots. “Which trunk did you steal those from? Cost more than a third class ticket , I’d say .”
George shook his head. “I got them in London,” he said, and too late realized he’d made a mistake.
“Ah, a prince from first class,” the man said with a hearty laugh. “Just down here for a little thrill? What’s your name?
“George,” said George softly.
