Chapter 9 - The Panic Room Protocol

I moved through the absolute darkness like a ghost, eliminating the mercenaries one by one with lethal precision.
I used the deafening thunder from the storm outside to completely mask the sound of my footsteps.
Within two minutes, all five highly trained assassins were lying dead on the cold concrete floor.
I rushed to the center of the warehouse and quickly sliced the heavy ropes binding Evelyn to the chair.
I picked up Mia and the crying baby, desperately ushering my terrified family out of the dark building.
We piled into a stolen security vehicle and drove straight back to my heavily fortified estate.
I manually activated the maximum security lockdown protocol the moment we crossed the front threshold.
Thick titanium shutters slammed down over every single window and the reinforced doors magnetically sealed shut.
I led Evelyn and the children down into the subterranean panic room hidden beneath my private study.
The massive vault door hissed loudly as it locked us safely inside the impenetrable steel bunker.
The room was fully stocked with emergency medical supplies, backup generators, and satellite communications.
I immediately accessed the security terminal and watched the exterior cameras tracking the perimeter.
Dozens of armed men were currently swarming my property, but they absolutely could not breach the heavy titanium walls.

We were entirely safe, fully protected, and the state police were already swarming the main highway.
I turned around to finally breathe a sigh of absolute relief and hold my exhausted family.
