Mary was fascinated by the lavish and vulgar display of wealth, and fueled by curiosity she began to look through the bedroom cabinets. One drawer pulled open only four inches and she pushed it back and tried again. This time the drawer came out completely and she discovered that it was twice as deep as the others. She peered inside and could see a small brass handle at the rear. She twisted it, but it was locked. She went to the gallery to retrieve the set of lock picks and managed to jimmy the handle open, a hidden motor moved the headboard away from the wall revealing a very large long and narrow metal box flush with the fuselage. It resembled a rectangular electrical junction box, but when she sprung the lock and lifted the top her startled glance swept over four rows of gold bars each about eight inches long and three inches square. The depth of the box was approximately two feet, and the bars were stacked nine to a row— thirty-six bars total. She reached down to examine one of the bars, and as she did she could see bundles of cash lining the sides of the box, buried below the first row of gold bars. There were stacks of Euros, Greenbacks and English Pounds, too many to calculate a total. She removed one gold bar and a stack of cash and took them to the cockpit.
