The Case in the Dining Car
The midnight express, a twenty-minute technical stop at a halt with no name. The diplomatic courier's case travelled chained to the leg of table four in the dining car, in plain view of everyone who passed. When the train pulled out again the chain was still locked and the case was still there: identical, the same leather, and with somebody else's papers inside. In twenty minutes somebody swapped it for its twin.
