Rodwell Archibald Godfrey, now Richard Allen Goodwin, couldn’t keep the shit-eating grin off his face. He smiled at the passengers as they formed a line in front of customs. He slung the leather carry-on personalized with his old and new initials from one shoulder to the other. Using his real initials had been a stretch, but he convinced himself this was necessary since he owned too many monogrammed possessions that he refused to part with. He’d invested thousands through the years and saw no reason to toss them now. He was in another country, where no one knew about him or of his past.

Ripping off The Informer’s buyer had been easy. Almost too easy. He knew enough about computers and their systems to set up an account here in George Town in the Cayman Islands under his new name. From there he’d used a top-flight hacker who owed him a favor for keeping his name out of a nasty divorce action and had him hack the lawyer’s escrow account before the money could be transferred to The Informer’s account. The hacker had the money deposited in the Goodwin account in the Bank of Bermuda in the Cayman Islands. It was like taking candy from a baby.

Rag, Richard, was sure the hacker had covered his tracks. And there he was in the sunny Cayman Islands with ten million dollars, plus the fifty thousand he had forgotten to leave in the locker where he’d arranged to pick up his new documents. He’d been impressed with the excellent quality of his documents. Driver’s license, birth certificate, passport, credit card, and a social security card all in his new name. He’d had his age listed as forty-eight, knocking off a few years. Why not? He was a free man, and he could do anything his heart desired. He could certainly afford anything; price didn’t matter. He felt so powerful he thought he was going to black out.

Richard had made reservations in Grand Cayman at the Westin Casuarina Resort. Though not as luxurious as he would have liked, it would do until he made other plans. At least he had requested the presidential suite. Tomorrow he would introduce himself to the president of the Bank of Bermuda. When they saw his balance, he just knew he would be treated like royalty, certainly not the down-and-out tabloid owner of his past.

Yes, Richard Allen Goodwin thought as he moved through customs, life was good.

And he was just getting started.
