Chapter 837 - Keep everything (1/2)
The boxes that smugglers brought with them are taken away with others in the storage on the side of the island where staff is.
JoAnna and Jeff didn't want to move the smugglers there. As much as two of them know, smugglers are not aware that there are buildings on the island. So, they decided to keep them in the cave, for now.
With help from the truth serum, and two security guards who are fluent in Spanish, JoAnna and Jeff interrogated the smugglers (aka pirates).
Just how Jeff suspected, they are using that fishing boat to drop off goods few boxes at a time in order not to arouse suspicion with border patrol. Once larger quantity is gathered in the cave, a bigger boat will come, load all of the boxes and transport them further.
Jeff was alarmed to find out that this is going on for few years. He had no idea!
He took a mental note to put surveillance in place for all his properties. Who knows for what they are used when he is not around?!
They found out that this is the only team which is coming to this island to make drop offs. There are other teams, but other ones are assigned to different islands. Each boat is operating in its designated area, because they need to look like local fishing boats.
Other than these crews of smaller fishing boats, there is a large network of thieves and bribed officials on the mainland, and a crew of that large boat.
Large boat will not come unless it is summoned.
Overall, it's quite a large operation.
When they finished gathering the information, Jeff and JoAnna left the smugglers in the cave. Two of them went to the beach to discuss further steps while security is making sure that those seven people remain in the cave, obediently tied up.
”What do you suggest we do?”, Jeff asked JoAnna.
She was thinking while burying his legs in the sand. She paused her movements and looked toward the cave.
”We keep everything.”
Jeff was not sure what that means. ”Everything?”
”You said, it's our island. So, whatever is on it, it's ours. We keep the treasure and we keep the pirates.”
Jeff felt like crying. ”What will we do with the pirates?”
JoAnna laughed seeing his expression. ”You are right. They are not useful. Let's tie them up to a rock and throw them into the ocean!”
