Chapter 25 - RED ALERTS AT THE RANCH
Before Ethan could respond, the security alarms around Marcus’s ranch began wailing in high-pitched sirens.
Red emergency lights flashed along the perimeter fence as three dark off-road vehicles crashed through the front gates.
Armed operatives in black tactical gear leaped from the vehicles, moving swiftly toward the main house.
"Marcus! Get Lily into the storm shelter now!" Ethan roared, drawing his sidearm as bullets began spraying the porch.
His father ducked behind the heavy stone pillar of the porch, pulling a compact pistol from his tailored suit coat.
Ethan fired four quick shots, taking down the lead operative advancing up the front walkway.
Max lunged forward, biting the arm of a second intruder and dragging him over the wooden porch railing.
Inside the cabin, Marcus returned fire with a tactical rifle through the shattered glass of the living room window.
"We need to move to the basement escape tunnel!" Ethan’s father shouted over the roaring gunfire.

"I'm not leaving without my daughter!" Ethan yelled, sprinting back into the house through the storm of bullets.
