Chapter 2 - The Flash of Red Light

A blinding tactical beam sliced through the dusty darkness, pinning Marcus right where he stood.
A heavy tactical police officer in full body armor came charging down the concrete steps, his weapon raised, his boots thundering against the floor. A red chest camera flashed rhythmically on his tactical vest, recording every inch of the horrific scene.
"Police! Don't move!" the officer roared, his voice shaking the pipes along the ceiling.
Marcus spun around, his face turning paper white. He threw his hands up in panic, his arrogant posture dissolving into desperate stammering.
"Officer! Wait! You don't understand—this is my private property! She's hysterical! She's mentally ill, I was trying to—" Marcus yelled, lunging forward with a fake, persuasive smile to block the cage view.
The officer’s eyes met the sight of the heavily pregnant, bruised woman locked inside a steel cage on a concrete floor. A wave of protective fury flashed across the lawman's face.
Without hesitating for a single second, the officer stepped forward and landed a devastating, heavy right hook directly across Marcus's jaw.
The punch echoed like a gunshot. Marcus crashed backward onto the concrete, his expensive suit tearing against the floor as blood squirted from his split lip.
