Untouchable Mafia King Discovers Missing Pregnant Wife In Remote Desert Diner Seconds Before Rival Cartel Ambush Sweeps Nevada Highway
CHAPTER 2
The high-caliber automatic gunfire shattered the silence of the Nevada night, blowing the diner's front windows into thousands of flying glass shards.
Nathan moved with instantaneous, lethal instinct, using his broad body as a human shield to cover Emma as he tackled her toward the heavy stainless-steel kitchen counter.
"Get down!" Nathan roared, his heavy arm wrapping securely around her shoulders as he pressed her body flat against the linoleum floor.
Tactical officers in dark jackets immediately formed a defensive perimeter, returning heavy, suppressed fire toward the darkness of the parking lot.
Emma gasped for air, holding her stomach tightly as the deafening noise of glass breaking and metal tearing echoed through the diner.
A fierce contraction rippled across her lower abdomen, causing her to cry out in sudden, intense pain amidst the roaring chaos.
Nathan looked down, his steel-blue eyes locking onto her pale, sweat-streaked face with absolute focus and fierce protection.
"Hold on to me," Nathan commanded tightly, pulling a sleek black handgun from his hidden shoulder holster with his free hand.

"They're shooting at us, Nathan!" Emma sobbed, her fingers digging into the expensive cashmere of his turtleneck as another bullet ricocheted off the counter.
"They are shooting at a ghost, Emma," Nathan replied with cold, terrifying certainty. "And every single one of them is going to die tonight."
