Nick Popovich is a repo man, but not the kind that spirits away Hyundais from suburban driveways. Popovich is a super repo man, one of a handful of specialists who get the call when a bank wants back its Gulfstream II jet from, say, a small army of neo-Nazi freaks.
A good read; I hope this guy writes a book at some point. . .

What were those neo-Nazi freaks doing with a jet and how were they able to attain it in the first place?

Popovich's first rule of firearms is pretty simple: The man who tells you he's going to shoot you will not shoot you.
The man has balls!
