MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (39)

MI 40

Finish the story begins with:

“As her mount shifted uneasily under her, she grasped the brim of her old felt Stetson, gazed upwards and remembered Jean Pierre.”

  Lucienne missed Jean Pierre, he had been fun when she visited Paris. She mourned the day he had left for Brazil, recruited by a mysterious organisation, Jean Pierre seduced with a large sum of money had promised to return and marry her when the work was finished.
Jean Pierre had served for three years in the rough tough French Foreign Legion, then recruited by the Brigadier’s organisation when he was discharged. Assigned to Marg’s team, he was present when the booby-trapped door exploded, he was thrown backwards by the force of the explosion and lying prone, blood gushing from a wound. Marg called for medical help as Don Fernando and and his team emptied the contents of the strongroom while the Little Bird helicopter lifted the badly injured Jean Pierre to safety.
The hidden cache of cash and precious metals was removed as a huge blast finally destroyed the complex.

  1. Looks like they got the cash out just in time! I hope Jean Pierre will be okay. Maybe after this close call he’ll call it a day and marry Lucienne 🙂

  2. Glad to hear Jean Pierre survived. I also hope he goes back to Lucienne. Good way of fitting this story into the episode, John. We’ll be waiting for the next one. 🙂 — Suzanne
