Chapter 5 - The Ambush
Back at the rustic mountain diner, the heavy blizzard continued to rage outside the large glass windows.
Alex had finished his coffee, his strength slowly returning. He looked across the booth at Emily, profoundly grateful for the brave waitress who had just saved his life.
"I need to use your landline," Alex stated smoothly, his powerful, commanding corporate presence fully returning. "I have to call the FBI."
Emily nodded, standing up to grab the phone from behind the counter.

He violently vaulted over the diner booth, tackling Emily completely to the wooden floor just as a massive barrage of suppressed gunfire aggressively shattered the large front windows of the diner.
Heavy glass rained down everywhere. The neon signs violently sparked and went dark.
"Who are they?!" Emily screamed in pure terror, covering her head as bullets tore through the tables.
