Chapter 7 - Ethan’s Motorized Wheelchair Moves Suddenly Without Power
Back in the master bedroom, Ethan sat alone in the dim quiet, staring blankly at the dark security monitors.
Suddenly, the heavy steel wheels of his motorized chair locked into place with a sharp mechanical hiss.
The digital control panel on his armrest flickered on, displaying a flashing warning code he hadn't seen in years.
“System override: Remote diagnostic active,” the screen blinked in harsh red characters against the dark glass.
Ethan’s eyes narrowed as he gripped the armrests tightly, his knuckles turning white under the strain.
“You’re getting sloppy, brother,” Ethan muttered to the empty room, knowing someone was hacking his chair remotely.
The motorized chair suddenly began to move forward on its own, rolling slowly toward the open secret passage door.
Ethan didn't panic; instead, he reached beneath the seat cushion and flipped a hidden manual disconnect switch.
The chair hummed aggressively and then powered down completely, stopping just inches from the dark threshold.
