“That’s the plan,” Hawes said, looking up from the break room table he stood beside. It was covered with maps and satellite photos, a route marked on each. Five hours from now, just after rush hour, an ATF transport driven by Tran and Chris would travel that route, moving the seized explosives from evidence lockup to a controlled detonation facility, ironically only a couple of miles from where they now stood, in the warehouse where the weapons were manufactured and stored. “Everyone understand their roles?”

Various points along the route had been circled. The plan Rose had laid out for him, and which Hawes had relayed to their operatives, included locations where the Madigans were supposed to intercept the transport, where a third party might beat them to the intercept and attempt a rip-off, and where they were supposed to transfer the explosives to Remy.

Hawes, together with Chris, Tran and Kane, had subsequently added locations where a handoff to Brewster was more likely to occur, where Rose might try to steal the explosives for herself, and where SFPD and the ATF would have secondary teams. Law enforcement would be less than a quarter mile from each other identified location, ready to converge on their signal. They would allow the handoff to occur—either to Remy, who had made a verbal agreement with Rose for the weapons, or to Brewster, whose account agreements would show he’d paid for them—thereby solidifying the trafficking charge against Rose. If she tried to steal them for herself, with force, they’d have her on grand theft robbery, plus theft of evidence, obstruction of justice, and a whole host of other charges. Either way, once criminal action was taken, law enforcement would move in, seize the weapons, and make the arrest. Hawes had no delusions it would run so smoothly, but at least it was an elegant plan. Especially considering it had been conceived on no sleep at three in the morning.

“All set, boss,” Avery said. She’d be driving the car with him in it, trailing the transport van.

Connor spoke next. “And I’ll back up Kane on Rose.” Rose and Amelia, who was supposed to be back in custody by mid-afternoon, would be at the house in Pac Heights, operating as base command. “We’ll make sure she doesn’t slip free.”

That had been Hawes’s one alteration to the assignments Chris had originally suggested. Kane was supposed to be the LEO on Brewster, but Hawes had shifted him to Rose. He was the one LEO in the least danger from her. Though Hawes couldn’t be certain she’d keep that promise, so he wouldn’t leave Kane without backup.

Across the table from Hawes, Alice snapped pictures of the maps and photos, then handed the phone to Victoria. She quickly scrolled through them. “We’re good,” she said with a nod. “We’ll get orders to the rest of the captains.”

Hawes braced his hands on the back of the plastic chair in front of him. “Last chance,” he said, meeting the gaze of each operative. “I’m giving you the same choice I did at the club.
