Sparks showered onto the concrete floor as the plasma torch sliced through the heavy door.
Rocco grabbed an assault rifle from the weapons rack and checked the magazine.
"Take Noah and get to the roof," Rocco ordered Victoria, his voice leaving no room for argument.
She scooped up the sleeping child and scrambled up the rusted iron spiral staircase.
