Chapter 12 - Fighting Off Armed Assailants In General Hallway
The lead mercenary raised his suppressed rifle, scanning the dimly lit staircase for any sign of movement.
Domenico fired two quick shots, striking the intruder’s weapon and sending it clattering across the wooden steps.
The second mercenary spun around, firing blindly into the darkness as wood splinters exploded from the wall paneling.
Domenico vaulted over the mahogany banister, tackling the second assailant hard onto the Persian rug below.
A brutal hand-to-hand struggle ensued in the shadows, fists and boots crashing against the antique furniture.
The third mercenary rushed from the library brandishing a combat knife, aiming straight for Domenico’s exposed back.
Before the knife could strike, the heavy oak study door burst open, revealing the head of security with a shotgun.

“Drop the blade or I’ll blow your legs off!” the security chief roared over the roaring thunder outside.
The intruder dropped his weapon instantly, raising his hands high above his head as the perimeter alarms blared.
