Mike didn’t realize how close he and Sharon had been cutting it until he saw the green Dodge Ram barrel up the street. He had started to close the tailgate when the truck screached to a halt behind him. Just then he saw that the crate was exposed.
A short, stocky guy jumped out the driver’s side as another man popped out the passenger window and aimed a gun at him.
“Move away from that truck,” the other guy said. “Now!”
Mike shoved the tailgate closed and dove behind the Tahoe. “Sharon! Go!”
The engine rolled over once, and the Tahoe burned rubber taking off into traffic.
The guy in the Ram fired twice, hitting only concrete and a pigeon. The Ram took off.
Across the street at WSVN, two uniformed cops appeared. Mike waved to them. “Green Ram chasing a red Tahoe! They’re after the Chest!”
One of the cops dashed across the street, halting traffic as he did so. The other one ran back into the WSVN lot.
Moments later, three cruisers and the two fed cars appeared, tires squealing as they turned onto the street and went after the Chest.
Mike looked up at the uniform standing over him. He reached up with his hand. “I think you’re looking for me. I’m Myron Blake.”
