ANNOUNCEMENT

Commence stakeout!

Police chief is waiting for you outside station with police car.
"We've got three more patrol cars already at the docks. Once we get there, you find some high ground to observe the situation. Oh, and you should take this."

He hands you an earpiece.

"We'll keep you updated on the situation through this."

I take the ear piece and put it in my ear.

"Lets get to it then."

I follow/get in police car.

I run to find a back way into the shop the bullets are being shot from. "Hell, time for some fun, shame about that cop, but maybe I can get some answers from whoever's shootin"

You get behind the shop through an alley. Finding a back entrance isn't hard; the back door is slightly ajar.

@Spartan: The car drives for a while, without its lights on.
You near the docks, and see large amounts of those large metal cargo box things. You know what I'm talking about, right?
Car stops.
Police Chief: "Here's where you get out. Look for a good observation point; we'll keep in touch with you."

The things that look like boxcars for trains/ looks like they can attach to the back of a semi?

"About where are the smugglers supposed to dock and unload?"
Any tallish buildings around me?

I move next to the door, I switch my sword to the left hand and pull out a pistol with my right. I take a peek inside.

Yeah, those things.

.....

You know, I went onto Wikipedia to give you proper dock terminology for his answer, and an hour later, I knew nothing about what he would say here, but by Jingo I now know about cottage country!
To avoid having to do that again, let's just say he gives you a pier number thing.....

No tallish buildings by the dock.

You peek in. The lights in the room are off, but you're a Gaided. Darkness doesn't effect you much.
It's an employees only storage room. Three small boxes, but the room is mostly empty (It's a small store)

Ok...

Well then I suppose I'll go near the pier number thing and climb on one of the cargo box stacks/tower things.
