Two car's drove passed the van and Moge did not make anything of it as cars have been driving passed them on their way towards the city, but as both car turned on their pointers towards the immediate exit on the left Moge's mental alarm went off. An armed man at the dockyard gate pushed the open button and the gates slide open for the two cars to drive in.
"Boss, two cars just drove into the dockyard, two black Mercedes Benz sedan." Moge turned and informed Fin who was tensed and waiting to know the outcome of the two patrol guys trying to obstruct his assignment. He didn't want any careless moves that will jeopardize their mission, so he wished that his team would not have to eliminate them.
"Alpha Team, be advised two Mercedes Benz sedan just drove into the dockyard, can you identify the occupants, take pictures and send them in?" Fin instructed. The team had sent a visual of all the corners where armed men where situated, this was to help the assault team if there was need to storm the location.
"Copy that Alpha, this is Alpha 3, Alpha 1 and 2 are currently indisposed as armed men are about to enter their location. I am covering them and in position, Alpha 4 will identify and send visuals of the occupants of the sedans." Alpha 3 said in whispers making sure he men under their location does not hear him.
As soon as the sedan's appeared at the dockyard the men who were relaxed and chilling suddenly sat up others casually standing about became more at alert.
The men had gone half way toward boarding the ship and Alpha one was already prepared to take the shot if the men took another step towards the ship. Partly because he didn't want his team mates compromised and secondly because he expected the force from the shot to knock his targets into the sea.
"Attention all personnel, the boss is here, I repeat be advised, the boss is here." The radios of the patrol men making their way onto the ship burst out. The first guy turned and horridly asked his partner to get off the ship. Both men returned to their patrol and away from the ship.
"This Alpha 1, thank you guys the coast is clear, that was pretty close." He said as he returned his pistol and grabbed his riffle and returned to surveillance.
"Alpha 2 to Alpha 1 what's that smell, did you shit your pants?" The entire communication became a cacophony of laughter. Alpha two sprawled beside Alpha One and both set up their riffles and surveyed the cars parked at the other side of the dockyard.
"Cash? No way. I see David McGregor. Over." Alpha 4 reported.
"Alpha 4 confirm your report, over." Fin said as he tried to stand up but his head hit the roof of the van. It was a big Intel if the information was correct.
"This is Alpha 3, Intel confirmed I see Cash, David McGregor." Alpha 3 corroborated his colleagues report.
"Hang in there guys, I have to take this up with the channel of command, keep your eye open, out."
Fin grabbed his phone and dialed in some numbers and waited to get connected.

Rita was trying to get through to Daniel but the phone kept ringing, Daniel wasn't taking her calls. At first she felt he might be busy but soon it became a thing of concern. Why wasn't he taking his calls? What did the cops threaten him with? She decided to go check him at his apartment.
"Sam change of plans, don't go the back to the hotel, take me the usual apartment a South End." She said and Sam didn't acknowledge her instruction, he just kept mute.
Rita went back to pressing her phone not realizing Sam had just gone passed the turn to South End. After a few minutes later Rita was still on her phone when Sam drove into the Villa, she raised up her had from her phone and discovered she was back at Don's villa.
"What the fulk, Sam." Rita said pissed. "Why did you bring me here?" She asked furiously.
"Sorry ma'am, I had my orders." Sam said as he got of the car and opened the door for Rita to step out.
"Whose orders, I asked you to take me to South End." Rita kept screaming as she got out of the car to stand before Sam in rage.
Sam knew she won't go into the house nor submit her phone willingly, he also knew that Rahim knew that would be impossible to achieve calmly. So watched her rant for a few seconds then he scooped her on his shoulders and headed for the mansion. Sam must have called head of security at the villa because as Sam got to the entrance of the mansion, the security guards opened the door and another inside took Rita phone from her hands as she was ranting and they walked to her room where Sam dropped her into her bed and stood straightening himself up and adjusting his suit,
"Ma'am, I am sorry but you have been asked to stay here till Boss comes back no communication with anybody outside the house" He paused as he saw the shock on the face of the lady he has driven everywhere for a while now. "There will be a guard outside your door to always attend to whatever you need." Sam said as he turned to walk out of the room.
Rita ran the porch and Sam didn't run after her but turned and told her "I wouldn't do that, there are guards there to watch over you."
"Rita turned to him, why are you doing this?" There was hate in her eyes,
Sam quickly devised a lie so she won't feel pain that he was part of this. "Don feels someone is after him and his family, this is for your own safety." Sam said and turned and left, the door shot behind him.

Sera and Jason had got back into the car and just sat there, they never planned for this current chemistry between them but it is too late to begin to try to evade it. They will always be together at least till they find Dora's killer.
Sera sat in the driver's corner while Jason sat at the passenger's side both looking up to the skies filled with stars now. This journey had been less than 24hours and they were already entwined. Sera reached for Jason's hand, he didn't resist it, he let her place his hands on the gear lever and she placed her hands on the back of his hands filled with hairs and they both stayed that way.
"Jay, what did you do to me?" Sera asked him and just like magic they both realized what she had called him they looked at each other and laughed. She reached out to him and wrapped her hands over him and he didn't resist it. He wanted it, he wanted to be in her arms forever, it felt like ages since he was this weak towards a female. He had shot the doors to affection while he was in agony over Steve's death.
His phone began to vibrate and both of them separated and looked at themselves and began to laugh again. If felt like de javu the first time they were in each other hands Jason's phone had distracted them.
"It's Fin, something may be up." Jason said and took the call.
"Detective something is really up here, David McGregor just pulled in, and he is here right now."
"What? Are you sure about that?" Jason asked wide eyed as he slammed his door and look at Sera he whispered 'Dockyard' to her and she closed her own door and turned the car towards the dockyard.
"I he the person they have been waiting for?" Jason asked. "Is it some sort of exchange?"
"No, the team thinks they are expecting something, they have a truck in already." Fin replied.
"Stay put we are close by ask the swat team to stand by for rollout but don't tell them destination yet." Jason dropped the call as Sera fired the car towards the dockyard.
A few minutes later Sera Pulled up behind the van and when they walked to the back of the van they tapped three times, two quick and one delayed. The van opened and both of them quickly entered the tight van. Sera made her way to the front and sat beside Moge.
"These are the footage the team sent." Fin handed the printed pictures to Jason held the pictures in his hands not saying a word. His thoughts flashed back to the day he stormed Cashs' hide out and how he had held Steve's in his hands while he bled out in front of him. He was bitter and lost in thoughts when he heard Sera's voice.
"Jason, are you ok?" Sera asked with concern.
"Yes I am, whatever happens here tonight this guy must not get away, he is wanted for the murder of a cop." Jason said with obvious hunger for revenge.
"Alpha Team, this is Alpha. Be notified Cash must not get away, no matter what. He is wanted for the death of a police officer. Keep your eye open for any development."

Daniel began to cough when he became conscious, he wanted to touch his mouth with his hands but couldn't soon it dawned on him that his hands were tied to his back and he as seating on a wooden chair. He coughed again for a few second before his lungs began to adjust to the limited air he had. A hood was placed over his head and he couldn't even see where he was.
"Help, is anyone there?" He screamed at the top of his voice. But his voice echoed and he could hair he was in a hollow place, empty too.
He heard foots steps a few yards from where he sat and became agitated.
"Who is there?" He said but then the person was already in front of him and the next thing a felt a punch on his tummy. The forced knocked him over and the person walked over again and kicked him in the chest then dragged him back up. He could hold his aching tummy and he kept screaming out of pain.
"Say one more word and you will get double of that dose." The voice said as he heard the steps walking away from him. He gritted his teeth and tried to shot the pain out, he had been punched one too many in the last couple of days and it never seem to get an easier to endure.

Cash stood leaning on the car at the dockyard, the cargo should have been here by now and he was becoming restless for the consignment to arrive be on its way to where it should have been since yesterday. He was quick to arrange for another delivery being that Don was already unleashing hell on him for laxity and show of incompetence in delivering on their transaction.
As he was mentally engulfed with the whole abnormality of the few days he got a text on his phone, after reading it he shouted to the entire team.
"Coming in blind, guys give the sign." Cash said.
One of the men at the edge of the dock turned on a flash light and pointed it out to sea, he covered the face of the touch with his hands and opened it again. He waited again for 10 seconds and repeated the code. Soon a ship became visible out in the sea, it drew close with less noise, it got the dockyard and the crew on board threw there ropes and the armed men who were now at the edge of the dock caught the ropes and fastened the ship.
"Alright boys, let get rolling, Bill I need eyes all over the perimeter." Cash said as they prepared to offload the content of the ship.
