“Don’t use the west road,” I tell Ilya. “Take the railway access road and enter through the east gate.”

“I’ll split the men into two teams.”

“Leave two men near the roof stairs and two near the fuel tanks. Once the road is clear, bring the fire engines inside. Don’t chase any car unless Kirill can see it on camera.”

Ilya checks the map in his vehicle.

“Understood. We’re turning onto the railway access road now.”

I face the foreman. “Guard the office stairs and the fuel tanks. Let the cargo burn before you lose more men.”

“The route books are in the dispatch office.”

“Can you reach them without crossing the yard?”

“Yes. There’s a lower corridor.”

“Take two men and bring out the current route books. Leave everything else.”

The foreman nods and ends the call.

Sokolov returns to the channel and lowers his voice. “One van has already left.”

“Description?”

“White medical-waste van. SeverMed markings.”

“Find it,” I tell Kirill. “Track every Chernov vehicle leaving Lyubertsy.”

Kirill pulls up the southern road and starts checking the traffic cameras.

Maksim studies the screen. “The van is carrying more than waste.”

“Most likely the rifles and route books,” I say.

“Don’t stop it yet,” Maksim says.

I look at him. “Let it lead us to where Chernov is moving them.”

He nods and turns toward the microphone. “Dmitri and Dima, enter Lyubertsy and secure the depot. Roman, stay with Lebedev’s cars. Send the other six men after the SeverMed van on the south road, but don’t let the driver see them.”

Kirill brings up the roads ahead. “I’ll guide them through the cameras.”

“Follow it until it stops,” Maksim says. “Then tell me where the van takes our weapons.”

Kirill puts his junior man, Artem, on the road cameras.

A minute later, Artem finds the white waste van between two cars on the Novoryazanskoye Bridge. He keeps the radio open and calls out each turn as Roman’s team follows from a distance.

Kirill glances at Artem’s station. “He likes racing games.”

The inner door opens, and Leonid returns with the archive list.

“Several Blacklist boxes are missing,” he says. “The archive guard is gone, and someone shut off the camera inside.”

Maksim plants both hands on the table and leans over the list. His voice comes out flat.

“Which ones?”
