A late night delivery

It was a quarter past midnight when the journalistic spy had caught her first sign of something interesting. Two men came through the chain link gate leading to Black Bulls truck yard and stood on the sidewalk. They each scanned their surroundings before taking up positions on either end of the property. Then they waited. Hannah was hiding in the shadows of an alley across the wide street and took care to not be seen as she snapped pictures of the lookouts. Satisfied that she had what she needed, she joined them in waiting. She didn't know what they were doing, but their behavior reassured her that she'd chosen the right place to watch.

It took another twenty minutes before anything notable happened.

A convoy of vehicles pulled around the corner a few blocks away. A black SUV with tinted windows took point ahead of a pair of white delivery vans. Two men on motorcycles rode side by side at the rear.

Oh my God yes! This is so cool!

Hannah was thrilled. Whatever it was it was something big. The shutter of her camera flicked rapidly as she snapped picture after picture of the approaching vehicles. The SUV slowly rolled past the shipping company while the vans pulled into its open gate. When they were through the lookouts retreated into the truck yard while the SUV and the motorcyclists sped off into the night. The entire process took no more than two minutes and left the street as empty and quiet as it was before.

Hannah knew she was onto something. This was going to be her big scoop. Virtue News would get its exclusive and whatever was going on at Black Bull Shipping would be blown wide open. But she also knew she didn't have enough information. She needed more, she needed to get closer.
