*Chapter 3*

Jameson and Rodriguez exchanged a look, their minds racing again with possibilities. "Let's get to that warehouse," Jameson said, already heading out the door.

As they arrived at the abandoned warehouse, they could feel the tension in the air. The building loomed before them, dark and foreboding. They drew their guns and cautiously entered the warehouse.
