Chapter 8 - The Shadow Steps Forward
I pressed my back heavily against the highly splintered wood as heavy bullets furiously and violently tore through the pallets.
Daniel screamed furiously at his highly paid, heavily armed thugs to aggressively flank my deeply vulnerable position and violently flush me out.
I desperately needed a highly effective, totally massive distraction to quickly get my father safely out of the direct line of heavy fire.
I quickly spotted an incredibly old, highly rusted electrical breaker box sitting heavily against the nearby, incredibly dark brick wall.
I immediately picked up a incredibly large, highly heavy rock from the dirty floor and hurled it aggressively at the rusty metal panel.
The heavy rock violently smashed the fragile metal casing, highly aggressively showering the dark room with bright, incredibly hot blue sparks.
The massive, incredibly bright overhead lights flickered frantically and violently before instantly plunging the entire warehouse into pitch black, terrifying darkness.
I expertly used the total, highly confusing darkness to silently and rapidly crawl across the incredibly cold concrete floor directly toward my father.
The incredibly heavy boots of the highly armed, completely blind thugs crunched loudly on the debris just a few incredibly short feet away from me.
I finally reached my father's metal chair and quickly used a highly jagged, incredibly sharp piece of broken glass to violently cut his thick ropes.
He nodded incredibly silently in the heavy darkness, aggressively rubbing his deeply bruised wrists to rapidly restore his healthy blood circulation.
Suddenly, a highly powerful, incredibly bright tactical flashlight clicked instantly on, completely and totally blinding us both.
Daniel stood highly confidently just a few short yards away, aiming his heavy weapon entirely and directly at my highly exposed chest.
"Game absolutely over, Claire," Daniel whispered highly arrogantly, his trigger finger tightening incredibly slowly on the heavy metal trigger.
I heavily braced myself for the final, highly deadly, totally fatal bullet impact, completely knowing I could absolutely not dodge a speeding bullet.
A highly deafening, incredibly loud gunshot echoed violently through the cavernous, highly empty warehouse, loudly ringing in my terrified ears.
I miraculously and completely felt absolutely no physical pain, but I clearly heard a highly sickening thud hit the concrete floor right in front of me.
Daniel violently dropped his heavy flashlight and screamed in sheer, absolute physical agony, desperately clutching his highly bleeding, deeply shattered left shoulder.
The incredibly bright flashlight rolled wildly across the floor, highly aggressively illuminating the deeply dark, far corner of the warehouse.
A highly tall, incredibly slender woman stepped very slowly and highly confidently out from the deep shadows, firmly holding a smoking, highly dangerous revolver.
She looked entirely directly at Daniel with dark eyes completely and utterly devoid of absolutely any mercy or hesitation.

It was highly surprisingly Melissa, the very woman Daniel highly arrogantly claimed was violently crazy and entirely out of his life.
"You completely missed my heart exactly six long years ago, Daniel," she said with a incredibly chilling, highly deadpan, and absolutely terrifying voice.
