Chapter 14 - Cornered at the Abandoned Warehouse Near the River
Daniel cut his truck headlights, coasting silently onto the gravel shoulder fifty yards behind the idling sedan near the riverbank.
He stepped out into the freezing rain, holding his shotgun firmly as he crept through the tall weeds toward the old warehouse.
The corrugated metal structure groaned in the wind, its broken windows letting out pale streaks of flickering generator light.

Daniel stepped into the dim interior, leveling his shotgun directly at Victoria as she spun around in absolute panic.

“It’s over, Victoria. The police are already tracing your satellite call to this location,” Daniel stated coldly.
