Red Jack and his men hurried through a wooded area towards the river Oudear for a rendezvous with a boat to take the stolen golden bells to Monrovia. As they passed an old ruined building the cart with the bells in hit a tree root and tipped over spilling the load on the ground. After righting the cart one of the men noticed one of the bells was damaged.. the looked closer it was made of lead and gold paint
Red Jack gave the bell a desultory kick... and gave a hearty chuckle. We'll lads we've been duped. Load 'em up - we'll pass them off to the Monrovians or lose them as we cross the river ..

The cover of the rear wagon was removed ro reveal the two gold covered bells ....

Very good plot twist!

Are those llamas pulling the cart? Maybe faster than bullocks or horses?
Entertaining story, very creative.
