Chapter 26 - THE STORM SHELTER DEFENSE
Ethan reached the kitchen just as Sarah was sliding the heavy iron door of the floor storm shelter shut.
"Lily is inside! She’s safe!" Sarah shouted over the deafening noise of shattering glass and gunfire.
Ethan braced his back against the iron door, raising his weapon toward the breached hallway entrance.
Two tactical operatives breached the kitchen door, but Ethan eliminated them with precise, combat-trained shots.
Marcus fell back into the kitchen, bleeding from a superficial gunshot wound on his shoulder.
"They brought heavy equipment, Ethan... they're trying to set fire to the wooden timber roof!" Marcus warned.
Ethan look through the kitchen window, seeing thick black smoke billowing up into the night sky from the garage.
His father walked into the kitchen, holding a remote detonator unit in his liver-spotted hand.
"I rigged the perimeter gas line when I drove up the driveway," his father revealed with a cold, tactical grin.

"Get into the shelter and lock the hatch... now!" his father ordered.
