... morning, a task force would forcefully enter every single legitimate and illegal business operation to shut them down and gather evidence. Mickey's reign was all but over.
On the other side of the Thames, in Tilbury, Essex, Matt drove the BMW M5 along the riverside towards the large, old, iron corrugated covered works. They passed several large pieces of machinery along the way that appeared long forgotten, as the rust slowly returned them back to their natural state. As they neared the main building, dim light could be seen seeping from inside, where the large doors had been opened. Matt followed the instruction of Kevin and parked in a fashion that would be most suitable for a quick getaway, if needed. Lance had followed behind in a Transit van, parking it closer to Mickey. He stepped out of the van, appraised the surroundings and opened the rear doors of the van. As he did Kevin and Rick left the BMW with Matt left in the driver's seat.
Inside the building, an articulated lorry sat parked along with a Range Rover and an Audi Q7. They knew the Audi belonged to Lucas Jones so, expected to see him somewhere.

"It's my girlfriend, she's not far off dropping so, I like to keep an eye on her and as you can see, she can't exactly go anywhere. You're welcome to come check out that's a baby bump and not a weapon!"
Mickey smirked and laughed. He thought it may break down the current atmosphere. He wanted this deal to go down without a hitch as there was the guarantee that any further weapons would happily be purchased by the group without any questions. With the Russians promising to deliver, it was going to be a profitable time ahead.
There was still one person missing. Lucas Jones. Mickey hadn't mentioned him. Not wanting to give the game away, Kevin and the group continued to scan the building to see if he had positioned himself somewhere. They all stood in a fashion to, hopefully, offer them cover should it be an ambush and reach the weapons stowed behind the ...
