Chapter 11 - The Forged Waiver
The live tactical video feed flickered on dashboard screen.
Red tracer rounds cut through the dark timber woods.
Team four marshals advanced behind heavy ballistic tactical shields.
"We have heavy automatic fire from upper balcony!" a marshal yelled.
The sound of shattering glass and gunfire echoed loudly.
I gripped the dashboard handle tightly, watching every second.
Arthur Whitmore had turned his luxury mansion into fortress.
He knew the federal government was coming for him.
He had spent decades building a private security army.
"Commander, team four needs backup," Harris reported from back.
"I am routing secondary tactical units from base now."
On screen, a flashbang grenade exploded inside main hall.
Blinding white light and smoke filled the camera view.
Marshals kicked open the heavy oak double front doors.
"Federal agents! On the ground now!" marshals barked.
Three private mercenaries dropped their weapons, raising hands high.
The team leader moved swiftly through the grand hallway.
They cleared the library, dining room, and study area.
They reached the entrance of the steel reinforced basement bunker.
The heavy vault door was sealed tight from inside.
Electronic keypads flashed red, indicating a hard lock setting.
"He is locked inside the safe room, Commander," team leader reported.
"We need thermal cutting gear to breach this vault door."
I reached out and tapped the dashboard microphone button.
"Team leader, check the control panel on left wall."
"There is a manual override keyhole behind the oil painting."
"I spent holidays in that house for five years."
"I know every hidden secret room inside that mansion."
The team leader moved to the oil painting immediately.
He pulled the large gold frame off the wall hard.
Behind the canvas was a brass manual override key lock.
"Found it, Commander!" the team leader called out loudly.
"Setting breaching charge on the override lock right now!"
A small shaped explosive was pressed against brass lock.
