Chapter 6 - The Offensive Shift
Elena's blood turned to absolute, freezing ice at the horrific mention of her innocent, beloved daughter.
She had spent millions of dollars trying to keep Lily entirely separated from her ruthless, dangerous corporate lifestyle.
Elena struck Marcus brutally across the jaw with the heavy iron poker, knocking the treacherous executive completely unconscious on the concrete.
She turned to Isabella, her eyes burning with a dark, dangerous, and purely maternal rage that she had never felt before.
Elena declared coldly that they were no longer running or hiding from Victor Sterling and his endless army of mercenaries.
They needed high-grade, untraceable weapons and a heavily armored vehicle immediately if they were going to wage a full-scale war.
Isabella led them through the dark alleys to an underground mechanic shop in Queens run by an old, heavily scarred street contact named Jax.
Jax took the two massive diamond earrings Elena offered as payment without asking a single question about their wet, battered appearance.
He handed them two fully loaded, military-grade assault rifles, several spare magazines, and heavy Kevlar tactical vests.
He pointed them toward a stolen, matte-black armored tactical SUV parked securely in the back alley of the massive garage.
As Elena and Isabella climbed into the heavy vehicle, the massive steel garage doors suddenly rolled down and locked securely shut.
Jax stepped back into a heavily reinforced, bulletproof glass security booth, holding the diamond earrings and a thick stack of cash.
He spoke through the scratchy intercom, apologizing insincerely that Victor's massive bounty on their heads was simply too high to ignore.
Dozens of red laser sights suddenly appeared in the dark, cavernous garage, all aiming directly at the windshield of the armored SUV.

A heavy, metallic clanking echoed loudly from the steel ceiling rafters directly above their trapped vehicle.
Two military-grade, fully automated tracking turrets lowered from the ceiling, their heavy barrels locking onto the vehicle's engine block.
