Lupin and his two comrads dismounted the horse an hour later.
"I hate horses!" Said Jiggen climbing off.
"Is there anything you do like?" Goemon asked.
"Money. When do we start blackmailing the winner?"
Lupin smiled and flipped a key out of his pocket as he went into the hotel where they were staying.
"Tonight."
"And then we get our cash?"
"Be patient Jigen."
Lupin unlocked their hotel room and stepped in.
"Hello."
Jigen whipped out his gun and Goemon pulled out the hilt of his sword, but Lupin stepped in.
"Hey Fujikins."
Jigen cursed "I thought we'd lost her!"
"It is unfortunate." Said Goemon sitting down.
Lupin grinned and flipped the trophy over in his hand smiling.
"Atleast we've got our 10,000,000$ trophy."
"How do you know this guy can even pay anyway? Or that he will."
"In answer to your first question," Lupin said, sitting and pulling a piece of paper from the desk drawer.
"He's a billionare, by the name of Carson Charmaine."
Jigen lit a cigarette, "But will he pay?"
Fujiko answered while Lupin scribbled his note.
"He's been trying to win this for fifteen years. He'll pay."
Jigen opened his mouth, but was cut off by Lupin.
"DONE!"
"Done? With a blackmail note how..."
"How long do you think I've been in this business?"
Lupin shoved the note into and envelope and wrote the adress.
"Come on. Let's get this baby in the mail!"
Lupin stood and walked to the door of the hotel room.
Jigen followed,hand on gun.

Zenigata got out of the small taxi, payed the driver and walked to his hotel room.
He climbed the stairs, pulled a key from his pocket and opened the door.
Just as he did the door across from his popped open.
He turned to see... Lupin and Jigen? It couldn't be!
He slammed the door shut, flipped on the light and walked to the window.
Three minutes later Lupin and Jigen climbed into their car, right below him and sped off.
"Wait a minu..."
He dashed out the door and down to the streets, running after their car.
A taxi cab came up beside him and he crawled in the window, knocking aside an old lady, two dogs, and
luggage.
"Follow that car!"

Lupin opened the mailbox and slipped in the envelope.
"There. By two days we should have our money."
"And if not"?"
"Plan B."
"What's plan B?"
"We steal it and forget blackmail."
"Why didn't we do that in the first place?"
"It would take out the excitement...And I like the horse races."
Lupin smiled and got back in the car, just as a taxi cut around the corner and a man in an overcoat, gun outstretched leapt out.
"I've got you now Lupin!"
"Hey Pops! Love to chat, but I've gotta run!"
Lupin flipped on the car and zipped down the road, Zenigata running behind.
"I hate horses!" Said Jiggen climbing off.
"Is there anything you do like?" Goemon asked.
