Chapter 10 - The Ambush In The Library
Suddenly, the heavy glass doors leading out to the lakefront patio shattered inward in a violent spray of sharp fragments.
Four armed men wearing dark tactical gear and unmarked black helmets burst into the library, flashlights blinding the occupants.
“Federal agents! Hands where we can see them!” a voice boomed over a bullhorn from the driveway outside.
However, the tactical men inside the room did not move toward Arthur or Julian—they trained their automatic weapons directly on Maya and Marcus.
Maya’s tactical instincts kicked in instantly; she recognized the weapons they were holding were unissued, illegal foreign automatics.
These were not federal marshals.
These were private mercenaries hired to liquidate everyone inside the room.
“Drop your weapons!” Maya yelled, taking cover behind a thick mahogany pillar.
The lead mercenary opened fire, the loud chattering of automatic rounds tearing through the leather-bound books and wooden wall panels.
Knox drew his sidearm and returned fire, covering Marcus as the mob boss ducked behind the heavy oak desk.
Julian screamed in terror, diving under the grand piano as wood splinters and glass rained down like hail.
Maya fired three controlled shots, dropping the lead mercenary before rolling across the carpet toward Marcus’s position.

“Your marshals are fashionably late, Agent Lin!” Marcus yelled over the deafening gunfire, pulling a heavy nickel-plated revolver from his waistband.
“They aren't my men!” Maya shouted back, reloading her magazine. “Someone tipped off a third party!”
