Korel closed up his shop for the day having made a good profit fir once. He secured his days till in the vault and then headed to the door leading to the promenade. Selling his business had veen a good idea and the proprietors had already settled into the little station nook that was Korels old store.

Greeted by his pregnant wife Vortress, the duo strolled to their quarters. It was here that Korel looked down and eyed the small
black satchel. Ornated with gems he quickly picked it up and looked around.

" Valuable." Vortress declared.

" And heavy. There must be a 1000 latinum coins inside. Dice abd a deck of cards. This is a gamblers purse. Probably belongs to some unscrupilos bataq," Korel slanged.

" You should give it to a security officer." Vortress urged,

Korel frowned.

" Perhaps. There is an inscription on the bag. It says finders keepers....would you look at that...it's mine."

" Korel ?"

He went home and placed the bag in a drawer but curiosity made him count each coin that evening. This purse contained the exact amount he needed to buy a newer cruiser for his new venture. But his wifes new found honest policy would ruin his plan.
