Chapter 6 - The Breach

Through the dim red emergency lights, I could hear the heavy boots of a police SWAT team pouring into the corridor.
Arthur had successfully delivered the offshore financial evidence and the murder logs to the FBI.
The federal agents were not waiting for the power to come back on to save my daughter.
Dr. Vance looked toward the hallway, completely distracted by the screaming voices of the tactical officers.
I seized the perfect opportunity and violently kicked his kneecap with all my strength.

I grabbed a heavy metal IV pole next to the bed and swung it fiercely at his head.
The thick metal connected with a sickening crack, and Dr. Vance collapsed completely unconscious to the ground.
