Chapter 12 - The Courthouse Ambush
Two days later, the armored federal transport van carrying Evelyn Vance rolled through the gates of the US District Courthouse.
Media vans lined the perimeter cordons, cameras flashing furiously as the heavy convoy pulled into the secure underground garage.
Suddenly, a massive fuel tanker truck stalled directly across the garage entrance ramp, cutting off all retreat paths.
Before the federal marshals could react, four armed men in black tactical gear stepped out from the back of the tanker truck.
They raised military-grade assault rifles, unleashing a devastating wall of gunfire directly into the windshield of the lead transport vehicle.
"Ambush! Get down!" the lead marshal shouted, returning fire with his service carbine as bullets ricocheted off the concrete pillars.
Evelyn crouched inside the armored cage of the van, screaming in terror as heavy rounds punched holes through the steel siding.
Smoke grenades filled the underground garage with thick, blinding white fog, reducing visibility to zero within seconds.
The tactical attackers planted a linear breaching charge on the transport van's side door, preparing to rip it open.
