Gant silently sprinted up behind the single dark figure which looked round now and again. Gant hid behind a trash bin then bounded in a single leap. He swiped his rival's feet from under him and hit him in the face, two actions one act. The stunned rival fell to the wet ground and moaned. He swore when he saw Gant.

The bike courier rode a classic bike. It had twin exhausts on the side and was a sleek fast bike green in colour. His parcel was carried in a package fastened to his left chest. In his bike leathers he carried Glock Model 13 with extended magazine and selective fire that included single, 3 rounds and full auto. He was skilled, motivated and well paid. It would be a difficult operation but the gangsters were equally skilled and numbered four plus back up.

It was easy to drive/run a motorbike/vehicle with no electrical system using the engine without electricals, gangster style. It was basic science easier than driving. An engine was a closed circuit. The electrical system or battery was connected to the engine via the solenoids/distributor etc to power the lights, stereo etc. An engine could run without electrical power, it just needed a few ‘adjustments’ to tweak it.

Each gangster tossed cyanide gas grenades at groups of workers and guards. The effect was both immediate and scary. Men and women gasped for air clutched their throats and were sick. Many fell to the ground seriously ill or dead. All would die.
