one okay' and after getting the cash, 'Step two okay.' This time, he didn't say it. Warning lights lit up. Andre asked, 'Step one okay?'

'No.' It was a red alert; a drug boss's nightmare. Police would have been listening. Andre flew into crisis mode, slamming down the phone. Moving fast, he hurled everything onto a sheet on the floor, wrapped it up and ran out of there, with no time to spare. Police officers swooped into the room moments later. Andre's tried and trusted two-step method had saved him - just. But his horse went down.

A British man has been jailed for eight years for trying to smuggle more than $1 million worth of cocaine into Australia. The UK-born travel agent was caught with almost 3 kilos of cocaine stuffed between two pairs of bike pants he was wearing on a flight from Bali... The Brisbane Supreme Court has heard Mark Allan Stables was working in Bali when he agreed to smuggle the drugs for a group of Brazilians in a bid to get out of debt... Australian Federal Police are yet to find the Brazilian group which Stables claims was behind the smuggling attempt.

I remember this Mark got busted because it's a lot of money lost when somebody busts... was bad for business.

Did you lose contact after he was busted?

Lose contact totally. But two or three years afterwards, he knocked on my door. I remember it was Christmas time, I had Christmas in my house, and he came. When I see him, I think, 'Fuck, maybe he's come here together with Interpol to catch me,' because he was out of jail early. I say, 'Where is Interpol, they come with you, or are they coming later?' But he says, 'No way. I need money.'
