Creating havoc

Bernie peered over the edge of the cliff at the sea swirling at its base. The wind was picking up and he braced himself against its buffeting. His rope remained tied to one of the bushes, neatly coiled in the undergrowth.

Like a snake waiting to strike.

Not long now and he’d be the snake. Unnoticed by his prey until it was too late.

He laughed.

From somewhere above him, the wretched dog barked. Bernie slipped back through the bushes and leaned against the rock face. Why couldn’t it stay away? For that matter, the whole damned town should leave him alone. He clenched his hands into fists. The only one who’d shown him any friendship was Elizabeth, but now this Angus person was here, even she was less accommodating. Time was against him.

There were no more sounds from the top of the cliff, so Bernie went back through the bushes. From here he could just see the top of the cave. How much easier to access by boat, if only the tides would cooperate. High tide at dusk or dawn would be perfect, times when fewer people would notice a small boat than midday. And the middle of the night was asking for trouble. Even if one managed to get a boat close enough to climb up to the cave, tying it up and filling it with treasure in the dark was beyond possible.

So, two options. Up and down this cliff, dragging load after load of the precious collection once he worked out the logistics of hauling stuff back up. Or through the tunnel. Bernie groaned. Why couldn’t the key have been in the trunk? Now he had to paddle around in a pond in the cold of night.
