Chapter 5 - The Hostile TakeoverI pulled up to the compound gates alone in a rented SUV. The guards immediately surrounded the car, weapons drawn. They patted me down, took my gun, and marched me inside.

David was sitting in a luxurious study, sipping a glass of my favorite scotch. In the corner, Elena was strapped to a medical bed, barely conscious. Sophie was huddled beside her, crying, wearing the very same white and pink sneakers I had bought her.

"Uncle Michael!" Sophie cried out.

David laughed, putting his glass down. "So, you figured it out. A bit too late, Mike. You're going to sign over your voting shares to me, and then you're going to have a tragic, fatal heart attack."

"I brought the paperwork," I said, tossing a leather folder onto his desk.

David smirked and opened it. But there were no shares inside.

Just a single piece of paper with three words: LOOK OUT THE WINDOW.

Before David could react, the power to the entire compound was cut. The glass shattered as Vance's team breached the room from the skylight.
