Chapter 13 - THE STRIKE ON THE HIGHWAY
On a rainy Tuesday afternoon, Nathan's armored SUV traveled down the Long Island Expressway toward the Greenwich estate.
Hannah sat in the rear leather seat, holding Maya as the young girl slept peacefully against her chest.
Suddenly, a heavy black commercial truck swerved out of its lane, accelerating directly toward Nathan's vehicle.
"Hold on!" Nathan screamed, grabbing Hannah and pulling her down beneath the reinforced seat frames.
The truck rammed the side of the armored SUV, sending spark showers flying across the wet asphalt road.
Nathan's driver skillfully maintained control of the heavy vehicle, firing two warning shots into the truck's tires.
Two unmarked FBI vehicles sped onto the highway, boxing the commercial truck in against the concrete median barrier.
Federal agents swarmed the truck with weapons drawn, dragging the syndicate driver out onto the pavement in handcuffs.
"Are you all right?!" Nathan asked frantically, inspecting Hannah and Maya for any injuries.

"We're safe, Nathan! The armor held!" Hannah gasped, holding her crying daughter tightly in her arms.
