Chapter 23 - THE ESCAPE FROM THE DOCKS

Mark sprinted through the side door just as two black unmarked sedans screeched to a halt outside the warehouse.
Men in heavy tactical gear spilled out of the vehicles, raising assault rifles toward the loading bay entrance.
Mark dived behind a stack of steel cargo containers, clutching the battered leather briefcase tightly to his chest.
He slipped through a narrow gap in the perimeter fence, reaching his SUV parked safely down the dark side street.
He unlocked the doors, threw the briefcase onto the passenger seat, and slammed his foot down on the gas pedal.
The SUV tires squealed against the wet asphalt as he rocketed away from the docks into the rainy night.
In his rearview mirror, he saw the unmarked sedans pursuing him, their high-beam headlights blindingly bright.
Mark twisted the steering wheel, taking a sharp turn down a narrow alleyway to shake his尾随者.
He killed his headlights, coasting to a quiet stop behind a row of brick commercial buildings downtown.

The pursuing vehicles roared past the alley entrance, completely losing track of his black SUV in the maze of streets.
