Chapter 13 - The Night Intruders
At 2:00 AM, heavy rain battered against the roof of Mark's suburban home in Concord, Massachusetts.
Mark lay awake in the master bedroom, keeping a tactical sidearm on his nightstand while monitoring the security system.
Suddenly, a silent alarm indicator flashed red on his smartphone—the basement window sensor had been tripped.
Mark slipped quietly out of bed, wearing his dark denim jeans and a black t-shirt, creeping down the carpeted hallway.
Two masked henchmen wearing dark tactical gear moved through the living room, holding suppressed handguns.
They were searching for Mark's primary computer drive containing the original video files and financial ledgers.
Mark stepped out from the shadows of the kitchen, firing two non-lethal rounds that struck the first intruder's vest.
The second intruder lunged forward, but Mark ducked under his swing, driving a heavy elbow directly into his ribs.
Mark slammed the attacker against the kitchen wall, disarming him in swift, expert hand-to-hand combat.

"Who sent you?!" Mark bellowed, pinning the henchman to the floor while police sirens wailed in the distance.
