Chapter 2

Anna was talking to Tom, so when you see him later give him a hard time! Tom asked, have you talked to him. She said, No! Tom replied go over and see him, he has a surprise too. With that, she hung up and went to a large area. Jim was all over the place, he came running over, grabbed her hand and made her follow him. He opened a chest to find 321 one-ounce bars of gold, the next was 560 bars, 3 bags of double eagles, 500 per bag and so much more in coins and Jewelry. He had only done about 10% of what was there. No collectors or museums had this amount of items and 26 more to go.

Anna said, “What do you mean 26 more to go.”

“Sorry,” Jim said, “there are 26 more of these caves.”

She sat down and said, “WOW, if this is 10% of what’s here it will be the biggest finds ever! “OMG, When are we going back? I’m getting tired.”

“Arron said whenever you’re ready to go back. Let’s hit it.” They got back to the house and Jim and Anna went and cleaned up. When they got back to the main house Vickie and Tom were talking. Jim was so proud of his finds. He asked Tom, “Were we keeping them the way they were?”

He said, “NO, just washing them than melting most of them.” Jim looked confused. Tom said, “The rocks right?”

“What rocks,” Jim asked.

“Your kicking stones, your sister picked them up and they are worth about 52 million dollars. Don’t worry, we are naming them Jim’s Kicking stones,” and Anna just smiled. Tom said let’s eat!

After dinner, they talked for a while. Anna asked Arron about stealing his men again and was told sure! She said that she needed more containers, baskets, opened top wheeled bins to move the Quartz that doesn’t break away. Mark had something that might work, he saw Ron use small rubber dumpsters, 6ft x 4ft x 4ft and 2 small Kawasaki 4 wheel drive ATVs, to load and move to storage. Arron thought it was great that Ron had it all there! We will move it during the night, Mark also had 3 new men (2 men and 1 woman) to help Jim. Jim asked Tom and Marty to find out where and how to store the stuff moved from the caves, shelves, bins? Tom told Jim to do his best now and after a few days, they will know more! People started to leave for sleep. All said Goodnight.

Anna and Jim left at 7:30 and everything was okay! Once there, the ATVs hauled the storage items in place and all went to work. Anna and 2 people started picking at the walls dropping the gold into dumpsters so they didn’t have to pick them up off the ground. Arron was told to bring back more. By the end of the 2^nd day, there was twice the amount in dumpsters. Anna said that one wall started to drip freshwater behind the Quartz. A natural drain was on the floor. She will know how much soon, Anna didn’t know that Ron had the tare weight of the dumpsters on the computer so they had a total.

Tom came to Anna and gave her a hug and she asked what that was for. “Well, the first day total 2614 pounds which is unheard of and today you did 7387 pounds or $ 146,558,080. That’s what the hug was for. As of 1 hour ago the water sample is artesian and pure and may be bottled. Arron, Mark get her whatever she needs.”

“Yes, Boss!”

“Vickie said that most of the gold is showing above 94% pure and she is going to start to smelt the product outside on the property and then return it and build another vault. Marty can we get a power plant for the cave, also satellite for the computers WIFI for communications, Anna, will you start in the other cave so we can see what’s there and use combinations of dirt and rock for building. Jim can you store the stones.”

Anna looked at Tom and was going to ask why are you asking me when she realized she was the head honcho! She smiled and said sure.

Tom looked at her and said, “Now you know how I feel!”

She said, “Yeah!”

Linda gave her a hug and said, “Just take your time and don’t let Tom or Marty push you! Tell me if they do and I’ll cancel their credit cards.” Both gave her doe eyes.

The girl from Arron’s squad came to her and said, “If it’s all right with you I will be assigned to you! For work, protection and all, if that’s okay.”

Anna said, “It will be my pleasure to have you.”

The girl’s name was Meg. She was told to take the second bedroom for now. Meg was an Army Ranger. Worked putting in roads, bridges, running bulldozers and all land operations. She had gone back to school for Geology but didn’t have her degree. She had heard Anna was top in her field. Guess she would find out!

Anna now knew why this girl was so easy to work with. She thought she was trying to look good for Arron, but not the case. She had the background and the ability to do the job. Anna asked her if she will be okay and she said, “Finally I’ll have someone to talk to that knows what dirt is!”

Anna asked Meg about the water and was told she would take some time this week and find out where and how much is available also where the drain goes. She asked if they were staying there or moving out to the cave. A look came from Anna.

Meg said, “Ron has a 2 seat helicopter that I can fly. Anna replied, “WOW, our own transportation.”

Mike could build us one of these here or even an A-Frame inside or out! Meg asked about the other cave and was told silver, platinum, orange size emeralds and don’t know what else.

“Did they say you dug up 146 million in gold?”

Anna said, “NO! 200 million in 2 days.”

Meg replied “OMG! I guess we are doing okay, they won’t shut us down. No wonder Arron wants to protect you and why I was put here.”

Anna gave her a hug and said glad you were. Meg said thanks.

In the morning, After breakfast, Meg and Anna left in a 2 seat helicopter to look at all sides of the mountain. Anna asked Tom to bring Mike with them if possible also she needs more dumpsters for the other room to keep it separated. When they got there they found the water drain, the vent shafts, and Meg said a small Dozier could level the entry so the helicopter could be brought inside by ATVs for safety and the weather. Finding 10 crates the girls started in the other room. By the time the others got there 2 large silver deposits were removed and 102 Emeralds and 8 diamonds, 2 were yellow and they were having coffee the two were drawing out an area to blow the wall and insert a small vault door.

Tom said, “loafing?” Anna just smiled. Meg asked Arron to bring a small Dozier this afternoon. “Borrow a Sikorsky from the general tell him you need the hours, your still valid ranked.”

Tom said he could call if necessary, was told it was okay. Anna asked Meg why would Tom call? He’s not military!

She just said no he calls the boss. Anna looked at her and Meg said, “Potus.”

Anna said, “Oh Really.”

Meg said yes! “WOW!”

Mike was introduced and Anna said she was a geologist. She could open up an area for a vault door to store stones and coins if he could tell her how big he needed. They walked into another part of the cave and showed him.

By taking the 2 sides straight, flat in, out the back wall all he would have to do was put a lid on the walls and a door on the front. He liked it! “Would it be possible to put concrete, thin just to move ATV’S with wheeled wagons all over. Also, I may want a small house built inside so I don’t have to travel nightly when we get busy.”
