From the outside, the three-story factory looked abandoned. There was a large padlock on the fence that surrounded theproperty, and a “No Trespassing” sign fastened to the center of the fence.

At the front of the building, a large piece of wood was nailed across the front door, acting as another layer of deterrence to keep nosey kids and homeless junkies from trying to gain access to the property.

As if that weren’t enough, two large German shepherds patrolled the property, as well as twenty-five security cameras and an eight-man rotating security team that kept constant watch around the clock.

No one was getting into this facility, not without someone knowing about it.

The man waited impatiently by the fence for one of the three men armed with machine guns to come and let him in. He adjusted his navy-blue suit jacket, straightening out the side of his lapel that had twisted during his walk from his Porsche to the locked entrance he was currently waiting at.

“Evenin’ Mr. Sawyer,” an angry-looking German man said as he removed the padlock and pulled open the fence. He stepped aside and allowed the man to enter before turning and latching the lock once again.

The man didn’t bother responding. These were worthless grunts, hired to protect the facility and make sure that no one entered… or escaped. They weren’t on the same educational and civilized level as he. He was upper crust. He was educated by one of the top Ivy League schools in England before getting his law degree in the Netherlands. His family came from money and privilege, and they didn’t exactly waste their time conversing with people whose only purpose was to monitor the security of a facility. He had better things to do with his time.
