Chapter 13 - Vincent Holds the Line While Adrian Fights Back

The heavy metal doors of the Bayonne slaughterhouse buckled inward under the explosive charge planted by Vincent’s team.
Gunfire erupted instantly from the catwalks above, raining lead down upon the advancing syndicate enforcers below.
“Take the upper flank, clear the sniper nests!” Vincent bellowed, firing his rifle with deadly, practiced efficiency.
Adrian pushed through the acrid smoke and deafening noise, his eyes scanning the cavernous, blood-stained killing floor.
Tied securely to a steel chair beneath a harsh overhead work light sat Sarah, her face bruised but her spirit unbroken.
Three Russian guards stood around her with drawn pistols, spinning around in sheer panic as Adrian stepped out of the shadows.
“Moretti! You walked right into the meat grinder!” one of the guards shouted, leveling his weapon at Adrian’s head.
Adrian didn't hesitate; he fired twice with chilling calm, dropping the guard before he could even squeeze his trigger.
