Kai’s hands gripped the steering wheel like he could control everything just by holding on tighter.
The night was dark—darker than usual. Or maybe it was just how he saw it.
Now, driving toward the port where Elías and Tarek, two of his men, were waiting, he felt something was off. He felt it in his gut, like a knot that wouldn’t loosen.
Elías sent a message:
“We’re here. Container 12. All good.”
Kai didn’t reply. He hit the gas.
The port was silent, swallowed by a darkness that smelled of concrete and rust. The yellowish glow of the streetlights cast long shadows over the stacked containers.
Kai parked, got out, and walked toward Elías and Tarek, who were waiting in front of the container.
“This one?” he asked, skipping the greetings.
Elías nodded. “Yeah. Right code. It arrived two hours ago.”
Kai stepped closer. The padlock was still there. Untouched.
He motioned to Tarek. “Open it.”
The click of metal was the only sound. The doors creaked open slowly.
Kai grabbed the first jar.
He opened it. The lid looked normal.
But he knew.
He turned it in his hands, searching for the exact spot.
A click.
The inner lid popped off, revealing the hidden compartment.
Empty.
Kai went pale.
He opened another.
Same trick. Same click.
Same emptiness.
“No… no, no, no…”
Tarek watched him silently.
Kai opened a third.
The mechanism worked. The hiding spot was there.
But the goods were gone.
“Tell me this is a joke.”
His voice was low, but sharp.
Elías looked around, nervous. “The code was right. The shipment was confirmed. I… I don’t know.”
Kai stared at him. “You don’t know? You don’t know? Then who the hell is supposed to know?”
Tarek stepped forward with a label in hand. “This… this isn’t our brand.”
Kai took it. Looked at it.
A different code. A name he didn’t recognize.
“Someone swapped everything,” he said quietly.
Then turned to Elías. “Who had access? Who touched this container before us?”
“No one. Just the port. And… and the courier.”
Kai narrowed his eyes. “The courier. Who was it?”
Elías swallowed. “A new name. Never seen him before. Sent by the port.”
Kai clenched his jaw and ran a hand through his hair. His breath came in short bursts.
He grabbed his phone. Called Jairo.
“Tell me you checked everything.”
“Yeah, like always. What’s going on?”
“The goods are gone.”
Silence.
“What do you mean gone?”
“They vanished. And if we don’t find them, we’re screwed.”
Kai hung up. Looked at the container.
Then at his men.
“Someone talked. Someone betrayed us. And I’m going to find out who.”
The goods were gone.
But the real problem was that someone among them already knew everything.
