Chapter 25 - The Capture of the Operative
Inside the harbor control tower, a man wearing a Port Authority supervisor uniform adjusted his radio earpiece nervously.
He picked up a leather briefcase, heading toward the emergency staircase to exit the lockdown zone before SWAT arrived.
David stepped out of the elevator at the landing floor, cutting off the supervisor's escape route with a drawn pistol.
"Going somewhere, Supervisor Davis?" David asked, his voice filled with icy, controlled anger.
The supervisor reached for a hidden sidearm, but David reacted instantly, shooting the gun clean out of his hand.
David tackled the operative to the concrete floor, pinning his arm behind his back and forcing his face against the wall.
"Who paid you to load Container 8842?" David demanded, pressing his knee into the operative's shoulder blade.
"The... The Serpent Council in Geneva!" the operative gasped through bloody teeth. "They have agents in every American port!"

David pulled a satellite phone from the operative's pocket, securing it inside a faraday evidence bag for FBI analysis.
