Jeffrey looked over from behind the wall in the alleyway. He made sure that he was completely out of sight; not that it was so hard to be under the cover of darkness. He glanced at his watch, but it was hard to see in the dark. "How much time you got?" he asked into his earpiece.
"Fifteen minutes…" the AD replied. "And I suggest that you stay quiet from now on…"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You go into the alleyway. He gives you the drugs. You give him the money. It's that simple…" Vinnie said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeffrey watched as a shadowy figure stepped out of the darkness, clutching a metal briefcase in his hands.
Brad glanced around the alley nervously as he waited for the other man to show up.
Alex stepped into the alleyway, his eyes shifting, looking for where Jack would be hiding. Wherever Jack was, he sure couldn't see him. He still had no idea why Jack wanted to be here for this, but who was he to resist him? He'd never been able to say no to Jack, not even once since the first time they'd met. He just hoped that whatever Jack was planning, Vinnie wouldn't find out about it. Glancing over at Brad, he recognized him instantly.
Brad handed Alex the briefcase and Alex opened it, checking to make sure that the full shipment was inside. When he was satisfied that it was he handed Brad his briefcase, and Brad opened it to ensure that all of the money was there.
"Nice doing business with you…" Alex mumbled before walking briskly away from the scene.
Brad stood there for a moment, content to be alone with his money.

Gus kept his eye on the door until he saw Alex enter. "Suspect has entered…" he whispered into his earpiece.
At Gus' word the AD spoke to Jeffrey. "Suspect is out of range. Arrest supplier. I repeat, arrest supplier."
Jeffrey moved from his position, going to arrest Brad when he felt a hand clasp over his mouth. He could feel the barrel of a gun pressed against the side of his head.
"You wanna live?" The voice was familiar, but Jeffrey couldn't quite place it. "You come with me, understand?"
Jeffrey nodded slightly, too afraid to do much else.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brad thought that he heard some sort of commotion and got out of there as fast as he possibly could. Well, as fast as he could without drawing attention to himself.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Agent come in…" the AD said. "Has the suspect been apprehended?" He listened, waiting for a response, but he got none. "Agent? I repeat, has the suspect been apprehended?"
"Agent this, bastard…"
And suddenly the AD heard something like the sound of the earpiece being crushed underfoot. But the thing that surprised him the most was the voice that had been on the other end.
