As the first syndicate gunman kicked open the shattered door, Daniel fired a controlled burst into the wooden doorframe above their heads, sending splinters raining down. "Drop your weapons or the next rounds go through your chests!"
The enforcers hesitated, caught completely off guard by the fierce resistance in a quiet mountain town. Seizing the moment, Bane let out a deafening, blood-curdling roar that echoed down Main Street like a wolf’s challenge.

Simultaneously, Clara sprinted forward with unstoppable momentum, using her long reach and fierce determination to swing the iron crowbar with devastating precision, knocking the primary enforcer’s weapon clean out of his hands before sweeping his legs out from under him.
