Chapter 5 - The Inside Job
The massive, impenetrable steel doors groaned incredibly loudly as they slowly began to slide completely open.
Harold's elite security guards instantly raised their heavy assault rifles and aimed aggressively at the entrance.
Noah firmly held his breath, fully expecting an army of heavily armed mercenaries to completely flood the room.
Instead, two of Harold's own trusted men walked confidently through the doors, dragging a violently struggling prisoner.
It was Mr. Vance, completely soaked in cold rain and screaming a string of highly desperate curses.
The heavily armed guards threw the entirely terrified deli manager forcefully onto the polished white floor.
"We caught him trying to entirely flee the city with a highly sophisticated fake passport," the lead guard reported loudly.
Harold stood up very slowly from the metal medical table, completely ignoring his incredibly fresh stitches.
He walked heavily over to Vance and stared directly down at the pathetic, visibly trembling man.
"How exactly long have you been secretly reporting this innocent boy's movements to the syndicate?" Harold demanded coldly.
Vance looked up with a heavily bruised face, his panicked eyes darting nervously around the heavily armed room.
"I was just strictly doing exactly what I was paid to do to survive," Vance whimpered pathetically.
"They specifically told me they would brutally murder my entire innocent family if I did not watch the kid."
Noah boldly stepped forward, feeling an overwhelming surge of pure, unadulterated anger toward his former boss.
"You absolutely knew my father was murdered, and you still treated me like complete garbage every single day?" Noah yelled.
Vance suddenly let out a highly inappropriate, totally maniacal laugh that echoed disturbingly through the bunker.
"You really genuinely think you are completely safe hiding down in this expensive underground hole?" Vance mocked loudly.
"They entirely allowed me to be captured specifically so I could bring their highly special gift right inside."
Harold's sharp eyes widened in sudden, horrifying realization as he frantically reached for his tactical communication device.
"Search his clothes and completely scan his body for explosive devices immediately," Harold commanded his elite guards.
The guards violently pinned Vance entirely down and began aggressively tearing through his soaking wet coat.
But Vance just smiled wickedly and proudly revealed a tiny, completely black device entirely hidden inside his mouth.
He aggressively bit down on the highly hidden device with a loud, incredibly sickening crunch.
It was not a lethal bomb, but a highly sophisticated, military-grade electromagnetic pulse generator.
A violently blinding flash of silent blue light erupted massively from the very center of the underground room.
Every single computer monitor, advanced lighting fixture, and electronic weapon instantly went completely dead.

The massive bunker was entirely and instantly plunged into absolute, deeply suffocating darkness.
Then, the highly terrifying sound of heavy boots echoed aggressively from the ventilation shafts directly above their heads.
