James' guards read the situation perfectly, so they moved his car to the middle, with one car in front of him and another behind him. It was a convoy whose sole purpose was to protect them.
But the police car and the officer who had parked close to them, was tailing them from behind.
The last SUV followed slowed down, while James and the lead SUV sped up to break away from the officer.
It worked, and the ride toward the house seemed smooth.
Just ten more minutes, and they would be home.
But that wasn't what happened.
As they arrived at the so-called Illinois Street, a long driveway leading toward Billionaire Hill, which rarely had more traffic than the residents themselves, the lead SUV suddenly slowed down and came to a stop.
James positioned the car to get a clear view of what was happening in front of them. What he saw made him tense more, a police blockade and a sign that read "Traffic Stop."
