Chapter 16 - Gabriel Risks Everything To Save Gabriel From The Crossfire
Gabriel burst into the armory corridor just as Marcus threw the guard aside and aimed a hidden pistol directly at the control room glass.
Chloe was standing on the other side of the partition, her eyes locking onto the barrel of the gun.
“No!” Gabriel roared, lunging across the hallway with terrifying speed and tackling Marcus to the floor.
The gun fired wildly, shattering the overhead lights and showering the corridor in a storm of sharp glass shards.
Gabriel delivered two brutal punches to the traitor’s jaw, rendering Marcus unconscious before he could draw another breath.
He stood up, chest heaving, and rushed into the control room to pull Chloe away from the broken glass.

“Your mother’s safety depends on this house, Mr. Costello; I wasn't going to hide while my friends were in danger,” Chloe fired back.
