She secured them inside the marine bags that were rated for being waterproof to thirty meters of depth. Antione copied her and soon they were hiding the bags that looked like regular hiking packs in a large compartment she had created behind her sofa to hide valuables.

They stored the carry-ons in a cupboard. Finally, Margo placed the third stack of cash inside a duffle bag. It was the five million she had taken from her known account. She planned on taking it with her to Paris in case her accounts were somehow frozen.
