Book excerpt: J.C. Stringer is once again hurled into action, off his sailboat, and racing against time. Not that he wants to be, or is expected to be. It’s what he does. There had always been small talk between the drivers, those waiting to start work, and those waiting to go home. It came with the job. It was part of the experience, part of pickups, and part of the deliveries, the thoughts and the possibilities. The ‘what if’s,’ what would you do, how would you handle it, if one day you were out on your route and a package fell off a shelf, busted open, and was full of money, diamonds, drugs, or something that could instantly changed your life. Better yet, what if a package had been placed on your truck on purpose, without being scanned, and with no way of it ever being traced. What would you do? How would you handle it? Not that it mattered, not that the thought actually did anything more than pass time in the realm of everyday speculations. It was nothing more than small talk, between employees with nothing better to do. The thought was simply myth and legend, put together and analyzed, piece-by- piece by old worn out knee and hip replaced drivers, those who continued counting days until retirement. Nothing ever came from it, because it wasn’t going to happen. It couldn’t happen. Not until the day Stuckey Gruber decided to actually make it happen… Now he’s a wanted man, and J.C. Stringer is the only man capable of actually finding him. Enjoy this high stakes adventure as Jimmy Chase Stringer leaves the peace and quite of his sailboat, the Brenda Kay II, and, by following his instincts, winds up south of Miami, heading towards the southern tip of the Keys, before sailing to the Bimini Islands, on the heals of a man who is now simply known as Red, a man looking for a second chance, and a better way of life. Only problem, Stringer isn’t the only one looking for Stuckey Gruber. The men sending the package want it back. The men waiting on the package want it back. The men planning the heist expect it back. And, the delivery package company, EDS, and their security team, they want the whole mess to go away, along with the employee they once knew as Stuckey “The Breeze” Gruber.
