Chapter 5 - The Harbor Trap
Killeran skidded the heavy motorcycle to a sudden halt near the rusted shipping containers.
The shocking revelation that Silas was a federal agent changed absolutely everything.
The government was actively trying to dismantle his syndicate completely from the inside out.
Killeran crept silently through the massive labyrinth of stacked metal crates.
The freezing wind coming off the ocean perfectly masked the sound of his footsteps.
He spotted the black transport van parked near a massive, abandoned industrial warehouse.
Four heavily armed tactical operatives were guarding the perimeter with night vision goggles.
Killeran climbed up a rusted metal ladder to the very top of a shipping container.
He used a silenced sniper scope to survey the inside of the warehouse through a broken skylight.
Mave was tied securely to a wooden chair in the exact center of the damp floor.
Her young brother Rowan was tied to another chair right next to her.
Silas was pacing back and forth aggressively, screaming loudly into a satellite phone.
Killeran realized Silas was conducting an entirely unsanctioned, rogue government operation.
Silas was demanding the master ledger of the Boston mafia to secure his own major promotion.
Killeran took a deep breath and steadied his lethal aim on the closest guard outside.
He eliminated all four perimeter guards with four perfect, utterly silent shots.
He dropped down gracefully from the container and approached the warehouse's side door.
He carefully placed a specialized breaching charge directly on the rusted metal hinges.
He backed away slowly and pressed the heavy detonator switch.
The solid metal door blew entirely inward with a deafening, violent explosion.
Killeran rushed into the smoke-filled room with his assault rifle raised and ready.
He shot two rogue agents completely dead before they could even draw their weapons.
Silas grabbed Mave violently by her hair and pressed a pistol directly to her temple.
He ordered Killeran to drop the rifle immediately or he would blow her brains out.
Killeran slowly lowered his heavy weapon to the wet, freezing concrete floor.
Silas smiled triumphantly and stepped forward to kick the rifle far away.

Mave suddenly twisted her body fiercely and kicked Silas directly in his knee.
A blinding flashbang grenade rolled right out from Mave's torn coat pocket.
