Together they made a plan. Ethan used street smarts to find info about Vince. He talked to people in cheap cafes and under bridges. He learned Vince ran drugs, kidnappings, even killed people. But one honest cop – Captain Herrera – hated Vince and couldn’t be bought.
Alex used his money for tiny hidden cameras and microphones.
They set a trap. Alex told Vince: “I’ll bring ten million to warehouse 47 at the docks. Come alone.”
Vince laughed. He brought six men and guns. He planned to take the money and kill both.
But Ethan was already there, hiding, setting up cameras that sent video straight to Captain Herrera.
At 8 p.m. Alex walked in with a fake suitcase full of newspaper (real bills only on top).
Vince smiled evil. “Give me the money, your bank codes, and another ten million for trouble.”
Then he said the truth on camera: “I’ve been washing drug money, kidnapping, ordering hits for years. And that kid? He dies tonight.”
Alex whispered to his hidden mic: “It’s a trap. They’ll kill us anyway.”
Vince suddenly yelled: “Come down, kid! I know you’re here!”
Ethan’s heart stopped. How did he know?
Vince’s men pointed guns up.
