Chapter 18 - The Hamptons Safehouse Siege
Following the Wall Street raid, Victoria relocated her primary operations center to a fortified safehouse estate in the Hamptons.
The oceanfront property was surrounded by ten-foot security walls, motion detectors, and twenty armed guards under Marcus's direct command.
At 2:00 AM, heavy rain battered the windows as an elite squad of eight Apex mercenaries breached the coastal estate gates.
Using thermal imaging, Marcus spotted the intruders advancing through the misty gardens toward the main residence.
"All security units, defend the primary compound!" Marcus bellowed into his radio headset as gunfire erupted across the grounds.
Victoria remained inside the reinforced command room, monitoring live security camera feeds while coordinating with local state police.
A mercenary kicked open the side kitchen door, but Marcus stepped out from the dark, disabling him with two precise shots.
The remaining attackers fell back toward the beach, realization dawning upon them that the estate was an impenetrable fortress.
State police cruisers arrived with sirens flashing, securing the perimeter and taking three surviving mercenaries into federal custody.
