Cruise Control over Part Four

By Paul Stansby

Part IV of this series originally conceived in 2020 is where Jimmy Dunstain, ex racing formula one driver champion, has to go further into Columbia in South America to keep his whereabouts unknown from secret agents who are in pursuit of him for tax evasion in the UK and possibly others who are after him for robbing a bank and jewel heist in Vegas some twenty years previously. He came back on the scene when he and his friend released the first volume online of his memoirs which they had compiled during the lockdowns caused by the corona virus.
The memoirs were an instant worldwide success.

Chapter One Cartagena Marina , South America

'That was lengthy a call, Jimmy. I expect it ended because your battery died.'

'It did Jack, that would have been three minutes without What's App on the pay as you go sims we have.'

'A lot will have happened in your twenty years sabbatical down in the Caribbean.'

'Oh yes, the EX re-married, my mother liked her.'

'So did the rest of the world.'

'A number of nieces and nephews have arrived on the scene.'

'Ah, there will be birthdays and Christmas for you to look into, you breach into the question of her extra granddaughters.'

'They've already been on the news, four have, there's a British one too.'

'Ah, three are here, so you weren't exclusive to dusky, mellow tanned, dark haired Italian beauties with amazing teeth and lips.'

'Not exactly, so a dark rum & lime.'

'A Mojito.'

'Two of those followed by a trip into town avoiding these daughters of yours. Some juicy steaks accompanied by a bottle of whisky or rum.'

'The youngsters do rather disapprove of such a decadent life style.'

'Healthy living with a pea and soya protein diet, cows are no longer a favourable source of food, Senoir, two Mojitos. So she's coming over?'

'The fortnight break abroad would have to be a month at least, ah the drinks.'

'AR to replace the experience of holidaying in exotic places together with people you've met up with on social media whilst lay on lounger in the living room '

'We avoid social media.'

'You on Twitter, Facebook or Snap Chat would bring the world wide web to a standstill with the extra traffic.'

'So Jack, do you find the new super sleuth down the coast to Panama interesting.'

'He's retired from agency work and appears to be relatively cool character with few discrepancies so you should be safe with him.'

'I kept our meetings quiet and I'm testing him out on a trip to Antigua to retrieve the loot as such from the flower bed.'

'I suspect you've done the pirate thing, leave a map with a few diamonds in a wooden box to leave trail in case you got pounced upon by the authorities.'

'I didn't think of that, seems to work well for the movies, Raiders of the last Ark. Tomb Raider and such like.'

'Keeps the suspense going, did he disclose whether the Nazi Gold as such turned up.'

'No, I didn't ask either.'

'Rather pointless as nobody going to disclose if it had, destabilise the world economy if there's a lot which
