“Please fill out an order form from the box on the right hand wall.” instructed the clerk at the front counter.
Jack went to the right side of the small shop and examined the wide variety of colored forms. All he was required to do was send one of the multiple cases of homemade hot sauce to an address in New Delhi. The hot sauce was what the poker game was all about. Poonam had intercepted a large order of diamonds several weeks earlier. Poonam had found out about the diamond shipment because he worked with Big Jim in international shipping where the contents and value of each package were available to them.
The hot sauce was a trial business venture that they had invented as a cover for shipping the diamonds to India. The diamonds would be concealed in small sample-sized jars of hot sauce made with several types of peppers each with a different sized seed. The idea was that the diamonds would be mistaken for seeds if they happened to be scanned by an x-ray machine.
Before Jack could collect his money, he had to ship the case of hot sauce to New Delhi and wait for one of five return packages to be delivered by Big Jim. The return package would be an audio compact disc of the chanting prayers of the Mahayana Buddhist monks who were observing Saga Dawa. In between each track on the disc would be a small set of key words that when combined together would describe the final steps necessary to collect the money.
Jack selected the green form with its yellow, pink and white colored duplicate pages and began to write out the address.
