Cain crouched at the railing. He saw the small speedboat pull into the boathouse.
There were four people aboard. Three men, and one tall, strong-looking woman. They were all stone-faced and carrying weapons.
He pulled in a breath.
Down below, Weber was smiling, flanked by two guards. He knew there were another two in here somewhere, but he couldn’t spot them.
He couldn’t let these people get away with the drone data.
“Weber,” one of the Albanians said with a heavy accent.
“Dobroshi. Welcome.”
“Why is your building on fire?” Dobroshi asked.“Are there problems?”
“Nothing my personal security can’t handle.” Weber shrugged. “I have enemies, but you need not be concerned.”
The Albanians all traded glances.
Then, Dobroshi jerked his chin up. “Let’s get this done. You have the drone data.”
Weber held up the data chip, and Cain stiffened.
The Albanians moved forward.
“The money first,” Weber said.
The woman stepped closer, a tablet in hand.
Weber pulled out his phone. A second later, it dinged.
“Transfer complete.” Weber smiled. “A pleasure doing business with you.”
Dobroshi just grunted.
Cain let his focus narrow. He was out of options. Hehadto destroy the data chip.
He took another breath, gripped the railing, and leaped over it. He had his gun in his other hand and fired on one guard, who dropped. He fired on the second guard, but the man was already diving for cover.
Cain hit Weber and they both crashed to the floor. He heard a bone snap and Weber yelled.
The data chip flew out of the man’s hand, and skittered across the concrete floor.
“My arm!” Weber clutched his arm, it was clearly broken.
Cain jerked his head up. The Albanians were all pulling their weapons.
He rolled and gunfire peppered the concrete. He rose, then dove behind some crates.
Fuck.
Bullets ripped into everything. He saw Weber crawling across the floor.
Dammit, Cain needed to get the chip.
He peered around. It was still on the floor, but he could see one of the Albanians advancing on it.
He touched his ear. “I’m pinned down.”
