After securing covert passage through the Suez on the super-tanker Decadis, Tulley’s crew lands Samantha Kell in Jeddah to hand off the PX canister to her Evaterra contacts. The exchange implodes when a counterfeit “extraction team” steals the cargo, triggering a high-stakes truck chase through the port. The heist concludes with the PX recovered—but not by the Invenios. A red-haired stranger intercepts the canister, loading it onto a waiting charter flight and leaving Kell furious, empty-handed, and already plotting revenge.
