Chapter Eleven:
The surveillance team tasked with following the fake IBEW rep had done their job perfectly. The man had lead them to a nearby deserted industrial park and had parked his car out in the open where they could easily watch him and set up long range listening equipment and sharpshooters.
They didn't have to wait long. A black sedan pulled up in front of the man and its window rolled down, revealing the German they'd been looking for.
"This is Beta Team Leader. Seal off all roads. Primary target is sighted, repeat, primary target is sighted. Vehicle is a 2004 Black Lincoln Town Car, License Plate: Six Alpha Gamma Gamma Three Seven One. Get ready to move in on my mark."
The listening devices picked up the brief one-sided conversation.
"I got into see her like you asked. She can talk all right. She's been talkin' to her FBI boyfriend. The Feds know there's one more guy and they're out looking for you. I helped you get away the first time but I'm gonna need more money for getting involved in this. That Fed might recognize me if he sees me again and I want to get out of town for good."
The man stood waiting for the German to speak. Instead, the microphones picked up the quiet sounds of a silencer firing. The older man dropped without a sound as the black sedan's window rolled up and the car took off.
"Execute! Execute!" Beta Team Leader gave the order and the area swarmed with cars and armed agents in a matter of seconds. The black sedan's engine roared and the car swerved into a nearby warehouse whose garage style door was open. It immediately slammed closed before the agents could get through it.
The team surrounded the building and carefully entered. The warehouse was dark and filled with boxes. The car door was open and there was no one inside. After several sweeps, they discovered they could not locate the man anywhere in the building.
After bringing in high-powered lights, they discovered a trap door into the sewer system hidden under one of the boxes but by then the target was long gone and his accomplice was dead.
