The wait had seemed interminable to Tracie. She could hear the guard moving boxes and shuffling around as he performed his inspection, and she concentrated on remaining perfectly still and controlling her breathing.

By the time he climbed down from the cargo box, her muscles were sore and beginning to cramp. After the doors slammed closed, she flexed them, careful not to knock over any boxes or make any undue noise, but determined to maintain flexibility. The still-healing gunshot wound in her leg throbbed and she gritted her teeth against the pain.

The truck was moving slowly, and in her mind, Tracie tracked its progress. Deliveries were accomplished at a big wood-framed building set up as a warehouse, complete with raised loading dock. The structure was positioned behind the residential buildings but in front of the barracks, and even driving as slowly as Gruber was, they should be just about there by now.

As if confirming her suspicions, the truck turned and slowed, then came to a complete stop. After a moment, it began backing, still in a turn, and a few seconds later came to a jarring stop that threw Tracie off her feet and against the boxes. She knew immediately what had happened—Gruber misjudged the distance to the loading dock and slammed the rear of the truck into it.

She picked herself up and waited as the sound of a garage door rising on its tracks drifted through the thin steel walls of the cargo box. A moment later the rear doors opened and Gruber stepped into the rear of the truck. He hefted a box and stepped back out of the truck, carrying it to the warehouse as instructed.

A moment later he returned and repeated the process.

Tracie felt her breathing quicken and her muscles tense.

It was time to go to work.
