Chapter 14 - The Midnight Stakeout At The Abandoned Freight Station
The clock on the dashboard of Lorenzo’s armored SUV ticked silently toward 11:45 AM as they parked across from the Tribeca safehouse.
The target building was a four-story brick brownstone disguised as an import-export firm on the ground level.
Dark-tinted windows concealed the upper floors where the Marinos syndicate was holding Isabella captive.
Lorenzo sat in the driver's seat, his eyes fixed on the second-floor window through a pair of high-powered military binoculars.
Through the lens, he caught a brief, fleeting glimpse of a woman with shorter dark hair pacing across the room.
It was her.
Wearing the dark wool coat with the ripped sleeve, her hands bound loosely in front of her by plastic zip-ties.
“Team one is in position by the freight elevator,” Mason's voice crackled quietly through the encrypted earpiece.
“Hold your position until I give the word,” Lorenzo whispered back, sliding his tactical comms mic closer to his mouth.

A black sedan pulled up behind the brownstone, and two armed Marinos enforcers stepped out carrying briefcases.
“They’re making the exchange now,” Lorenzo observed, opening his car door with slow, deliberate care.
