Chapter 4 - The Antidote Ultimatum
I refused to accept that my life would end in this filthy, abandoned warehouse.
I asked the rogue doctor if there was any possible way to reverse the damage.
He explained that he could synthesize a temporary adrenaline blocker to keep my heart pumping.
However, a permanent cure required the exact chemical signature of the original poison vial.
Eleanor always kept her most precious items locked securely inside the master bedroom safe.
I knew I had to return to the sprawling estate that had suddenly become my execution chamber.
Tony volunteered to drive me back and provide tactical support despite the overwhelming danger.
The doctor injected a massive dose of burning liquid into my thigh to stabilize my failing heart.
I immediately felt a violent surge of artificial energy coursing through my veins.
We climbed back into the battered truck and sped toward my luxury suburban neighborhood.
The rain continued to hammer against the windshield as I prepared myself for absolute war.
My phone buzzed loudly in the cup holder with an urgent text message notification.
I unlocked the screen and saw a message from my son.
The text read that Eleanor had just collapsed in the kitchen and was bleeding profusely.
Preston begged me to come home immediately because she was completely unresponsive.
A cold chill washed over my entire body as I realized the horrible truth.
Preston was deliberately sending me bait to lure me back to the house.

My own son was an active participant in this murderous conspiracy.
I looked at Tony and told him we were walking directly into a deadly family ambush.
