Chapter 16 - Adrian Arrives To Save Marissa And Little Owen
The black armored SUV screamed around the corner of the residential street, its tires throwing up sheets of rain.
Adrian threw open the passenger door before the vehicle had even come to a complete, final stop at the curb.
He vaulted out into the storm, drawing a licensed firearm from his holster with cold, practiced efficiency.
He kicked the splintered wooden door of the apartment wide open, his slate-gray eyes scanning the dark hallway.
“Drop your weapons right now!” Adrian roared, leveling his pistol directly at the two masked intruders in the kitchen.
The enforcers spun around in shock, but before they could raise their own firearms, Adrian fired two precise warning shots.
The deafening gunfire echoed through the small rooms, shattering the overhead kitchen light into a shower of glass.
Realizing they were outmatched and outgunned, the intruders dived through the broken front window into the alleyway.
Adrian didn't chase them; he rushed straight into the kitchen, dropping his weapon as he reached Marissa and Owen.

“Are you alright? Did they touch you?” Adrian asked frantically, checking Marissa’s arms and face for injuries.
