Okay, I have to apologize for the long wait since I've posted last. I had the chance to spend two whole weeks with my sister whom I haven't seen for over 9 months. So I had to be a little selfish and take a little break from fan fiction. But now I'm back and hopefully all will run smoothly from now on. Hope I haven't lost any readers…
Chapter 4 The Test
The limo pulled back into the driveway of the old Smith farm. It slowed and finally came to a stop. The occupants sat quietly for a moment before Vinnie spoke up.
"Here is the destination. Make sure my property makes it there unharmed and you'll be well rewarded." He said, handing over a map and a paper with an address on it. Tom reached out and accepted the papers, glancing at them quickly.
"So what exactly are we delivering?" Tom asked.
"Ah, my dear boy. Haven't you ever heard that curiosity killed the cat?" Vinnie said with a sly smile playing across his lips. "All you need to worry about is getting my property across the border and to its destination."
"Okay then, when do we do this?" Doug asked.
"My contact is expecting the shipment tomorrow night by midnight." Vinnie sat forward and looked at the undercover officers suspiciously. "Don't disappoint me boys. Ethan and Alex speak very highly of you both and I trust them and their opinions. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do. This is the address to pick up my shipment tomorrow. Take good care of it."
The limo door opened and the chauffeur waited patiently as Tom and Doug exited the vehicle. They made their way over to the other two undercover officers and watched as the limo pulled away.
"So, what happened in there?" Ethan asked, eyeing the other two officers.
Tom sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "We've got a delivery of some kind to make tomorrow. Here's the address for our pickup and then we're to take it across the border to Vancouver."
"Great. He's testing you guys out. We'll alert border patrol and let them know that you guys are coming through with a shipment. No one will touch you guys, we'll make sure." Alex said, taking a look at the paper in Tom's hand. "Okay, let's head back to the station and get this set up."
"Sounds good." Doug said.
Tom nodded and made his way over to the driver's side of his mustang. I can't wait to see what Vinnie has in store for us next, he thought. Maybe now we're getting somewhere, or at least I hope so.

Tom pulled his mustang into drive along the docks. The sun was just beginning to set as he pulled up to row of boats tied up along the docks. He shut off the ignition and pulled the keys out and tucked them into his pocket.
"That's the one." Tom said, pointing to a large racing boat docked at the end of the pier. "You ready to do this?" he asked his partner.
Doug shrugged and opened his door. "As ready as I'll ever be." He said. "Let's go pick up our shipment and get this over with." He walked alongside his partner as they made their over to the boat. As they approached the end of the dock, Tom heard the familiar click of a gun ahead of him. He looked up to find four men holding automatic rifles pointed directly at him and his best friend.
Okay, I know, I know... way too short. But in my defence, I'd rather write something short and halfway decent than write something longer and crappy. Hopefully I'll have something better up real soon. :)
