The drive to the old north docks was completely silent. Harrison and his elite team moved through the afternoon fog in three plain dark cars, keeping their lights low so nobody would notice them approaching the water line.
Back in the main office, the mood was just as tight. Julius stood right behind Marcus's chair, his eyes fixed on the green tracking dot that marked Sarah's location inside the abandoned warehouse.
Daniel stood on the other side of the desk, his radio held tightly in his hand, keeping a live audio link open with Harrison's car.
"Harrison is approaching the perimeter now, Julius," Daniel reported, his voice low and serious. "The team is splitting up to cover the front and back exits of the warehouse. Sarah has no idea they are outside."
Julius nodded, his hands flat on the back of Marcus's chair. His fingers were stiff with tension. Even though Harrison had ordered him to stay behind for his own safety, Julius could not just sit still.
