Chapter 19 - The Storm on the Cliff
A high-pitched electronic whine echoed through the dark house, followed by the muffled thuds of silenced gunfire outside.
"What is that?!" Nathan shrieked, dropping his glass onto the stone floor.
"Security team! Report!" Kaelen bellowed into his radio.

As the smoke cleared, five black-clad tactical operators from Vale Dominion Security formed a lethal wall around the room.
