Chapter 6 - The Shadows Strike
Heavy gunfire erupted violently from the high warehouse catwalks as unknown tactical assailants attacked Moretti's surprised men.
Nora used her sharp metal hair clip to expertly pick the simple lock on her cheap plastic handcuffs.
She freed herself in a matter of seconds and immediately untied the thick ropes binding Victor and Lucia.
Victor snatched a dropped assault rifle from a dead guard on the floor and provided heavy covering fire.
They dashed frantically toward a massive stack of wooden shipping crates to avoid the deadly, unpredictable crossfire.
Through the thick chemical smoke, Victor finally recognized the distinct black tactical gear of the mystery attackers.
They were his most elite, fiercely loyal personal guards, terrifyingly known in the underworld as the Shadow Unit.
They had successfully tracked his encrypted emergency beacon hidden cleverly in the heel of his expensive shoe.
The bloody tide of the battle quickly and violently turned against the unprepared Moretti syndicate.
Don Moretti tried desperately to flee through a rusted side door, clutching a heavily bleeding shoulder wound.
Nora grabbed a heavy metal lead pipe from the floor and sprinted aggressively after the fleeing rival mafia boss.
She cornered him successfully in a dark, dead-end loading bay, raising the heavy pipe ready to strike him down.

Moretti laughed through his intense physical pain and slowly held up his bloody hands in mock surrender.
He told Nora that if she killed him right now, she would never find her mother alive.
