Henry is a poor person in a town. He works with a courier company and delivers goods door-to-door.
His income was very low.
His wife is a fashionable girl and her demands are so high that she also insists on him buying a flat for a long time, even though it was not possible with his income. Henry is unable to fulfill the demands of his wife.
Therefore, he was not satisfied with his courier job. To earn money and make his wife happy, he also kept on borrowing money from his friends and was also involved in wrong activities.
Darrell King is the biggest crook in the city. Darrell King gets a clue that the Mayor was involved in a government building construction scam. Darrell King has some proof of that scam, and he blackmails the Mayor. He demands to pay him $500,000. The Mayor agreed to give the money.
Mayor ordered his employees to put the blackmail money in a black suitcase and send it to Darrell King.
The mayor's employees get caught in an encounter with a local gang on the way.
The mayor's employees hide the suitcase in the godown of the railway yard to save the money and somehow escape from there.
The Mayor informed Darrell King of the situation and requested that he collect the suitcase from the railway yard.
In the same evening, Henry was given one courier parcel to deliver to the railway yard. When he was in the godown to deliver it, he found a black suitcase kept in a lonely place.
Accidentally, due to the stumbling of his foot, the lock of the suitcase was opened and a bundle of currency was visible in it.
Henry cleverly shifts the suitcase to his courier bag. The suitcase was too heavy. Somehow, Henry took it out of the godown and put it in a taxi.
Avoiding all eyes, Henry tells his home address to the taxi driver and brings the suitcase home. When he opens it and sees that the suitcase was packed with currency, Henry becomes extremely greedy and thoughts a plan to grab it.
At the time of planning, suddenly he remembered that an old man next to his flat had gone out for a few days, and his flat is vacant.
He opens that flat with a fake key enters the flat with a black suitcase, takes some money from the suitcase, and hides the rest of the suitcase with old items in that flat.
When Darrell King’s employees reached to collect the black suitcase from the yard, they didn’t find the suitcase there.
He gets very angry with his employees for not getting the money. He warned them that if the suitcase was not found within 24 hours, he would kill everyone.
When Darrell King himself reaches the railway yard godown to investigate the whole matter, he interrogates the employees of the godown.
But, getting no clue, in anger, Darrell King goes mad and beats his employees with a belt.
The employees were very afraid, and they suggested checking the CCTV cameras installed in the railway yard, but they did not find any clues.
Disappointed, Darrell King's employees came out of the railway yard, where they saw another CC camera on the main road.
They checked the recording of the camera. It certainly appears a person is carrying a heavy sack on their back and keeping it in the taxi, but the face of this person is not visible.
They enlarge the image and notice that the taxi number is visible.
Employees reach the taxi stand in the city in search of that taxi. But they did not get that taxi. The taxi stand in charge told them there were 15 taxi operators in that area.
He gave them the names, addresses, and mobile numbers of all 15 taxi drivers.
When Henry suddenly gets a huge amount, he starts spending it. To fulfill his wife's demands, he makes her buy many things.
Also, he reaches out to book a flat in a big and costly township. He talks about paying cash to book the flat, but the builder does not accept the cash amount.
Henry leaves that place quietly.
Unfortunately, this building also belongs to Darrell King, Because of Henry's suspicious actions, the employee informs Darrell King that a person with a large sum of cash came to this place to purchase the flat.
Scared, Henry's wife also asks him, "From where suddenly have you got so much money? Are you doing anything wrong? "
Henry bluffs her and says he won the lottery.
Here, Darrell King's men find the taxi driver and beat him fiercely. The driver told them where he was taking the passenger.
Quickly, they reach Henry's flat. Henry was not at home at that time. The Darrell King’s men threaten his wife and ask her whether her husband has a black suitcase and a huge amount of money.
The wife denies this and thinks in her mind that Henry has fallen into some criminal activity. The men of Darrell King tie the wife to the chair.
A person told Henry that Darrell King's gang had come to his house to recover the money, and they misbehaved with his wife. Henry reaches his flat, fights with them. Somehow, he saves himself and his wife, but he knows that it will not be right for him to stay here anymore.
He immediately absconds with his wife, taking some money from the black suitcase.
They escape from the Darrell King gang and take refuge with the police.
By reaching the police, Henry tells the truth about everything. He also tells the police that the suitcase is kept in the flat next to his house. The police take immediate action and take possession of the suitcase.
The police caught such a huge amount with the help of Henry. Therefore, police warned Henry and released him.
Because this money was black money, no one had reported to the police about any theft or loss of it.
When Darrell King comes to know that his money is in the possession of the police, he also sits down in despair.
Henry's wife gets angry. Henry apologizes to her and says that the rest of her life will not make any mistakes.
To escape from the criminals, both of them go to another city to spend the rest of their lives.

Very interesting plot and events. This would make a great movie. Hopefully the police are on the trail of the corrupt mayor and Darrel King with his wrong doings.
Thank you for sharing that story with The Ink Well, we appreciate your continued engagement with the community by commenting on others' stories.
Thanks. God will definitely punish the mayor and the miscreants, whatever be the means for this, whether the police or anything else. I am happy with your appreciation.
I loved it @fantom22! Very suspenseful events and plot. Well done!
Henry was lucky it ended up like that for him and not "sleeping with the fishes" haha.
Hopefully the police would do the right thing and get to that corrupt mayor.
Thanks, you have a great idea always. If the end of the story is happy, then the readers' well wishes remain towards the author, otherwise, they show their displeasure. The hero of the story must have got a lesson from the troubles caused by all this, being homeless from home is also a punishment.
Lol, yup. Can never please everyone, and most people prefer happy endings anyways.
I think you ended it in a very clever and nice way. Each of the characters got what they deserve in my opinion, was a good end for Henry as you described, and even the police would benefit from the money that way! 😉
