Marcus hailed the first taxi he saw."Pier 17," he said as he climbed into the back seat.The driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror."That's an industrial area. Hardly anyone goes there.""I know."The taxi pulled into traffic, weaving through the busy streets while Marcus stared out the window. His mind replayed the vision over and over again, searching for details he'd missed.The warehouse.The flames.Damien's terrified face.Then the logo.Hale Capital Logistics.Marcus knew that warehouse better than almost anyone.Three years ago, he had personally approved its purchase because of its strategic location near the harbor. It wasn't supposed to hold valuable inventory. It was simply a storage facility for archived documents and imported equipment waiting to be distributed.So why would Damien panic over a fire there?Unless...Marcus leaned forward."Can you drive a little faster?"The driver shrugged."I'll try."At the same time, inside Hale Capital, Damien was signi

Marcus's pulse quickened as the vision vanished.The image had lasted no more than two seconds, but it was enough. He had seen gasoline spreading across the warehouse floor, a man striking a lighter, and an explosion powerful enough to erase everything inside.

He tightened his grip on the heavy server and threw himself behind a stack of steel drums just as another shot echoed through the warehouse. The impact rang through the building, followed by angry shouts that grew closer with every passing second."Spread out!" one of the men yelled. "He's carrying the server! Don't let him leave alive!"Marcus steadied his breathing. He had no weapon, no backup, and no chance of winning a firefight. His only advantage was the layout of the warehouse. Years earlier, when Hale Capital had purchased the property, he had personally approved the renovation plans. He remembered the emergency exits, the maintenance tunnels, and even the old loading ramps hidden behind the storage shelves.A faint smile appeared on his face."They're chasing the wrong man," he whispered.Keeping low, Marcus slipped into a narrow service corridor running behind the shelves.
