Chapter 7 - The Desperate Deal
My father screamed in absolute agony as the shattered glass of the heavy tablet sliced deeply into his forehead.
He stumbled backward violently, clutching his bleeding face while blindly firing his pistol into the concrete ceiling.
The deafening gunshot echoed wildly through the underground garage, causing total chaos to erupt instantly among the mercenaries.
Malcolm did not waste a single second of the precious distraction he had just created for us.
He grabbed the heavy metal fire extinguisher attached to a nearby concrete pillar and hurled it aggressively toward the armed guards.
The heavy cylinder completely crushed the nearest mercenary's knee, sending him crashing to the floor in terrible pain.
Nurse Mara grabbed my hand tightly and violently dragged me behind a massive concrete support column for temporary cover.
Bullets began to loudly ricochet off the thick concrete as the corrupt police officers finally opened fire on our position.
I curled my body completely around Lily, physically shielding her fragile head from the dangerous flying debris and concrete dust.
"We cannot stay pinned down here forever," Mara yelled over the deafening roar of the continuous gunfire.
I frantically scanned our immediate surroundings and noticed a massive, exposed electrical box attached to the wall just ten feet away.
A thick puddle of dark motor oil and dirty water had conveniently pooled directly directly beneath the heavy electrical panel.
I pointed a shaking finger at the dangerous puddle and screamed my desperate plan directly into Mara's ear.
Mara nodded quickly and immediately ripped the heavy metal IV pole from the hands of the mercenary she had knocked out earlier.
She bravely leaned out from behind our concrete cover and threw the steel pole directly at the exposed electrical box.
The heavy metal object smashed violently into the fragile wiring, instantly creating a massive shower of bright blue sparks.
The live electrical current aggressively arched down the wall and directly into the massive puddle of standing water.
Two of the heavily armed mercenaries had been carelessly standing directly inside that exact puddle of dirty water.
They instantly convulsed violently as thousands of volts of raw electricity surged forcefully through their entire bodies.
They collapsed lifelessly onto the hard concrete floor, completely neutralizing half of my father's dangerous tactical team.
The sudden, terrifying loss of his best men caused my father to completely lose his arrogant composure.

He grabbed my mother roughly by the arm and sprinted frantically toward the emergency elevator that led directly to the hospital roof.
"They are going for the medevac helicopter," Malcolm shouted loudly while grabbing a discarded weapon from the wet floor.
