The bomb they had placed underground goes but launches one of trucks too far and then a gunfight ensues. John then crashes one of the trucks and that enables the rest of the robbers to flee the scene. Welles and Hatcher follow them through the sewer system and Hatcher is shot in the pursuit. It is then revealed that Ghost cut a deal with Russians to kill the crew for half the take. Except that it is John who returns to foil Ghost's plan and it's a fight between the two for the money.
Best part of story, including ending: I liked how precise they were with robbery plans and the twist with Ghost.

Best scene in story: When John shows up at the end when Ghost is involved in the shootout.

Opinion about the main character: I liked his intelligence. He was the only smart enough not to trust Ghost from the beginning.
