Danny watched through binoculars as the two warehouse workers circled the trailer, searching for the custom weighted rim. Realizing the specific wheel was missing from the axle, the men grew hostile, grabbing Vance by his jacket and demanding to know where the rim had gone.
Danny held his breath, wondering if the secret cargo inside that missing rim was worth killing over. Vance threw his hands up in total confusion, terrified as one of the men pulled out a weapon. "Now! Move in!" the federal agent barked into his radio handset.
Black tactical vans accelerated across the apron, blocking the bay doors. Armed federal officers and state troopers poured out of the vehicles with rifles raised, surrounding the warehouse entrance and forcing the armed smugglers onto the concrete floor.
