Chapter 11 - The Federal Sweep
The blaring wail of dozens of police sirens echoed from the street outside, drowning out the shouting from the front foyer.
Over the external security speakers, a loud megaphone voice thundered through the neighborhood.
"This is the FBI Tactical Strike Force! Drop your weapons and put your hands on your heads immediately! You are completely surrounded!"
Outside, high-powered spotlights illuminated the house, blinding the three intruders caught trapped in the front porch hallway between the locked steel shutters and the incoming SWAT officers.
CRASH!
Flashbang grenades detonated in the front yard, followed by the crisp sound of tactical officers swarming the property. Within forty-five seconds, the heavy footsteps in the front hallway ceased, replaced by the reassuring voice of the SWAT commander over Detective Ramirez's radio radio.
"Officer Ramirez, perimeter is secure. Three suspects in custody. Bring down the shutters."
Daniel pressed the control code on his panel. The heavy steel shutters slid upward into the ceiling, revealing the living space once more.
