Chapter 20
William sprinted down the grand marble staircase, yelling Ethan's name at the top of his lungs.
He reached the front porch just as Ethan's black sedan pulled out of the estate gates onto the main avenue.
"Ethan! Stop!" William screamed, running down the driveway into the rainy evening air.
Before Ethan's driver could make the turn onto Beacon Street, two heavy black SUVs boxed the sedan in from both sides.
Six masked operatives dressed in dark tactical gear poured out of the SUVs, smashing the sedan windows with breaching hammers.
They pulled Ethan’s driver from the car, rendering him unconscious, and dragged Ethan out into the rain.
Ethan fought back fiercely, throwing a heavy left hook that knocked one operative to the pavement.
But a second operative stepped up behind him, plunging a sedative syringe into his neck just as William reached the estate gates.

"Ethan!" William roared, pulling a revolver from his coat pocket and firing two shots into the air.
The operatives loaded the unconscious Ethan into the back of the lead SUV, speeding away down the rain-slicked street before William could close the distance.
