Chapter 24 - the midnight ambush
the freezing rain lashed against the brooklyn docks as midnight approached. tessa stood atop a towering loading crane, wrapped in a heavy trench coat, her night-vision binoculars focused on the main gate. right on schedule, a convoy of heavily armored pharmaceutical trucks rolled into the desolate shipping yard. gabriel and his elite tactical unit were already in position, blending perfectly into the shadows of the massive cargo containers. as the lucchese mercenaries stepped out of the vehicles to unlock the weapon crates, tessa gave the signal. it was a masterpiece of tactical violence. the yard was suddenly bathed in blinding floodlights. gabriel struck with explosive speed, moving with the precision of a seasoned warlord. suppressed gunfire echoed through the rain as the rossi enforcers surgically dismantled the rival syndicate's front line. the mercenaries were entirely overwhelmed, dropping their weapons and surrendering to the devastating crossfire. tessa descended from the crane, walking calmly through the smoke and defeated enemies. she ordered gabriel to seize the millions of dollars worth of weaponry and send the empty trucks back to italy. it was a flawless, bloodless victory that sent a deafening message.
