Chapter 6 - A Desperate EscapeGunfire erupted in the dark. I didn't hesitate. I dove across the room, shielding Sophie and Elena with my body.

"Get them out!" Vance shouted over the deafening noise, providing cover fire.

I scooped Sophie into my arms and grabbed Elena's wheelchair, pushing her frantically down the hallway. David’s men were everywhere, but my mercenaries were surgical, neutralizing the threat room by room.

We made it to the extraction chopper waiting on the lawn. I strapped Sophie in, her small hands trembling. "You're safe now, sweetie. I promise."

But as I turned to help Elena, a gunshot rang out.

I felt a burning sensation graze my shoulder. David stood at the doorway, bleeding from a wound in his leg, aiming his weapon right at Elena.

"If I don't get the company, you don't get your family!" he screamed, pulling the trigger.
