¡Miedo en la S.I.P.! (Fear at S.I.P.)

¡Miedo en la S.I.P.! by W. Sampas A science fiction heist narrative set in a future with space travel to Mars. The story follows the theft of two thousand kilograms of gold intended for Mars's new International Bank branch, being transported aboard the fortified spacecraft USA-13. Criminal masterminds anonymously warn SIP (Spacial International Police) chief Donald Callowan of their intent to steal the shipment, defying his agency's reputation for invincibility. Despite heightened security measures at Mars's spaceport under agents Al Goff and Harry Silver, the heist succeeds without violence or gunfire. Mysteriously, the investigation reveals that Silver and fellow SIP agents inexplicably ordered security forces to allow the criminals access and assisted in loading the stolen gold. Callowan travels to Mars with agents Dink Sachs and Leo Northcote to investigate. The governor suggests hypnotism as a possible explanation for his agents' complicity, though Callowan finds this implausible given their training. The text ends mid-sentence during interrogation.
