Chapter 8 - The Federal Raid
Before the corrupt Chief could pull the heavy trigger, a deafening siren shattered the night air.
The massive steel gates of the factory were violently rammed open by heavily armored tactical vehicles.
Bright spotlights flooded the entire courtyard, completely blinding Evelyn and her hired killers.
Dozens of elite FBI agents poured out of the vehicles, armed with heavy tactical weapons and ballistic shields.
I had secretly set up a dead-man's switch on my phone to send the journal's photos to the FBI hours ago.
"Drop your weapons immediately and put your hands in the air!" a federal agent commanded through a loud speaker.
The corrupt Police Chief realized his career was completely over and frantically opened fire on the federal agents.
A massive, chaotic shootout instantly erupted across the rainy industrial courtyard.
I violently tackled Claire to the wet pavement, using my entire body to perfectly shield her from the flying bullets.
Evelyn screamed in absolute panic as she desperately tried to crawl back toward her armored SUV.
Nathan realized they were completely surrounded and completely lost his mind in a fit of rage.
He jumped into the driver's seat of the black SUV and aggressively slammed his foot onto the gas pedal.
He aimed the heavy two-ton vehicle directly at Claire and me as we lay helpless on the ground.
The massive tires screeched against the wet concrete, accelerating terrifyingly fast toward our fragile bodies.
Suddenly, my father broke entirely free from his restraints and sprinted wildly across the battlefield.
He threw his entire body aggressively against the side of the moving SUV with completely reckless abandon.
The sudden impact caused Nathan to instinctively swerve the steering wheel at the very last second.
The heavy vehicle violently crashed into a solid concrete pillar, instantly crushing the entire front engine block.
My father collapsed onto the wet pavement, bleeding heavily from the brutal physical impact.
I rushed over to check on him, but a terrifying sound suddenly pulled my attention away.

Claire let out a completely agonizing, blood-curdling scream and went totally limp in my arms.
Her eyes rolled completely into the back of her head, and she stopped breathing entirely.
