Chapter 18 - The Greenwich Siege
Despite the major arrests, two high-level syndicate mercenaries remained at large, seeking revenge against Ethan for destroying their network.
Ethan returned to his Greenwich estate, increasing security to military-grade levels with perimeter sensors and armed guards.
At 3:00 AM on a fog-covered Sunday, the estate's main power grid was abruptly severed from the outside junction box.
The backup emergency generators kicked on instantly, illuminating the halls with low crimson security lights.
Marcus Vance monitored the security monitors, spotting two armed intruders advancing through the front rose garden toward the patio.
"They're heavily armed, Ethan! Stay in the panic room with Lily!" Marcus shouted through his tactical headset.
"Not this time, Marcus," Ethan replied, pulling a heavy shotgun from his private gun safe in the master bedroom.
He walked downstairs into the darkened foyer, his eyes adjusted to the red emergency glow as the front oak doors were kicked open.
The lead mercenary stepped into the foyer, but Ethan fired from behind a marble pillar, neutralizing the threat instantly.
