Chapter 17 - Julian’s Bodyguard Intercepts A Dangerous Corporate Threat
A sharp, piercing alarm echoed through the Bel-Air estate, flashing red emergency lights down every hallway.
The lead tactical guard rushed into the archive room, breathing heavily as he reported to Julian.
“Director Vance! Three unmarked tactical vans just breached the lower perimeter gate using heavy explosives!” the guard shouted.
“Sterling’s enforcers are here earlier than anticipated,” Julian stated calmly, drawing a sleek sidearm from his shoulder holster.
Maya’s tactical instincts kicked in instantly, her posture dropping into a defensive combat stance.
“Give me a weapon; I’m not sitting in a corner waiting to be rescued,” Maya demanded firmly.
Julian hesitated for a split second before handing her a compact, high-grade tactical pistol from his secure desk.
“Stay behind me in the corridors; we need to reach the subterranean garage before they cut off our transport,” Julian ordered.
Gunfire echoed from the lower levels of the mansion as the private security forces clashed in the grand foyer.
