Chapter 11 - Facing a terrifying retaliation threat as hired syndicate mercenaries target the military hero estate during a dark stormy night now.
At midnight, heavy rain poured over the suburban estate as dark clouds obscured the moon across the Pennsylvania countryside.
Inside the security room, Daniel monitored infrared camera feeds showing three dark SUVs pulling up near the estate perimeter gates.
Heavily armed men in black tactical gear stepped out of the vehicles, carrying suppressed assault rifles and breaching equipment.
"They aren't local goons, Clara; these are professional mercenaries hired by Julian's foreign syndicate partners," Daniel observed quietly.
Clara pulled a tactical shotgun from the wall safe, racking the slide back with steady, trained precision that made Daniel proud.
"The police are twenty minutes away in this storm; we hold the line right here," Clara said, her eyes burning with determination.
Daniel grabbed his military-issue sidearm and night-vision goggles, locking down the mansion's automated steel storm shutters.
"They think they're raiding a soft target... let's remind them what happens when you breach a Special Forces compound," Daniel stated.
