Juan eased the door up far enough for Linc to crawl inside Juan followed him in and pulled the door down behind thehts mounted on their weapons There was only about two feet of space between the door and the cargo

“It’s good I’m not claustrophobic,” said Linc, who could barely turn his massive frame

“Let’s try to get a look at the cargo without leaving any trace ere here,” Juan said He climbed up to the top of the crates, which were stacked to within a yard of the roof According to the photo translator on Juan’s phone, the crate in the middle was marked with Chinese characters that read Machine Parts

He took a small crowbar fro it off, he ruh of it aside to see as inside

“What is it?” Linc asked “Drugs?”

Juan ran his hand over the glea stainless steel propeller“It’s an impeller”

“Like for an oil pump?”

“I don’t think so This one looks like the high-speed kind that powers a Jet Ski”

Linc snorted at that “They’re building Jet Skis? That ling”

“It definitely raises soone to a lot of trouble to keep this cargo froh a commercial port”

He looked at the crates on either side of him One was labeled Machine Parts, just like the first one, but the other had characters that read Fragile and Handle With Care There was no ht be inside

Juan opened the crate and dug into it until he felt a brick wrapped in plastic He took it out and saas printed on the side With a sinking feeling, he looked around him and saw that at least half a dozen of the crates that stretched toward the front of the truck were also labeled Fragile

“I think I knohy they couldn’t go through custo up the brick for Linc to see

“Oh, wonderful,” Linc said

, shaking his head “Is that what I think it is?”
