Sonny and Tubbs stepped out of the Ferrari and moved toward the gray van. Santana and three other men stepped out of the shadows near the van and turned to face them. Sonny stopped a few feet from them.
"Did you bring the goods?" Sonny asked.
"First,I see the money." Santana demanded,nodding toward the briefcase Sonny was carrying.
"You'll see the money once we see the goods. Otherwise we have no deal." Sonny started to turn away from the man.
Santana stood there for a moment and then nodded to one of his men. "Get the stuff."
Sonny and Tubbs watched as the man opened the van doors and took out one of the boxes. He set it on the ground in front of Santana and opened it. Sonny handed the case to Tubbs and picked up one of the packages. He turned it over in his hand carefully examining it. Tubbs watched Sonny with admiration. Sonny could always play the part well. He was truely gifted. Tubbs shifted the gun in his hands as Sonny stood and took the briefcase back. He turned to face Santana again while Tubbs took several steps back.
"Looks like we have a deal,Mr. Santana." Sonny smiled briefly. He opened the briefcase showing Santana that he did have the money.
Santana nodded and Sonny handed it over. Santana offered his hand. "It was a pleasure doing business with you. I hope we can do so again soon." Sonny shook Santana's hand and smiled.
"I'm sure we will. I'm sure we will."Sonny turned away and said,"Oh,by the way,I have something,Mr. Santana,I'm sure you will be interested in."Sonny turned back to Santana with his badge. "Miami Vice! You're under arrest!"
Santana's men opened fire as Sonny and Tubbs dove for cover. Tubbs managed to shoot one before he could make it to the van,while the others made it and continued to fire while they sped away. Sonny slid into the drivers side of the Ferrari while Tubbs jumped into the passenger seat. They followed the van onto the freeway as it weaved in and out of traffic.
"There's backup! "Tubbs yelled as he spotted lights ahead.
"They see them too!"Sonny yelled back as the van took a sudden turn into an abandons shipyard.
Sonny tried to cut the van off and it ran into a low wall. The men quickly abandoned the van and scattered. Tubbs and Sonny took off after Santana. They cornered him and he began shooting at them from behind some Tubbs covered him,Sonny worked his way around Santana.
"Freeze! Drop your gun!"
He slowly dropped his gun and Sonny kicked it away from him."Get down on the ground;hands above your head!"Santana obeyed while Tubbs came slowly from behind the building. Both men kept their guns trained on Santana as they heard the backup coming.
Tubbs looked up at Sonny and saw the other man. He had a gun,and before Tubbs could move he fired.
"Sonny!"
Tubbs turned to the man and fired. He fell to the ground fatally wounded. Tubbs ran to his partner and knelt beside him.
Tubbs took Sonny's head in his lap. He tried to stop the blood from gushing so much. "It will be ok man. You'll be ok. They're coming. Just hang in there buddy."Sonny moaned and tried to talk.
Tubbs shushed him. You'll be ok. "Don't try to talk. Just hang on man."Castillo and several officers came running in.
"What happened?"Castillo demanded. "Is he alright?"
"One of Santana's men. We never saw him."Tubbs moved to stand by Castillo as the parimedics arrived and stabilized Sonny.
Tubbs' voice broke and Castillo placed his hand on Tubbs' shoulder. Don't blame yourself. "There was no way for you to know."Castillo said. They watched as the parimedics rolled the stretched out to the waiting ambulance.
"He'll be okay."Castillo said. "He'll be okay."
