Chapter 9 - The Panic Room Lock
THUD!
The front door hinges cracked as heavy tactical boots kicked the wood frame open. Three armed men clad in dark tactical gear and ski masks rushed into the entryway, carrying silenced sidearms.
"Where is the drive?!" the lead intruder shouted, pointing his weapon toward the living space.
Without hesitation, Daniel slapped a hidden red sensor button hidden behind the mahogany dining room bookshelf.
Immediately, heavy steel security shutters slammed down over every window and door in the room with a deafening, metallic screech.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Reinforced steel doors dropped from the ceiling frame, completely sealing the dining room and living space from the entryway intruders, locking them out in the front foyer.
The modern home was equipped with a state-of-the-art residential lockdown system that Daniel had installed after his court battle with Arthur Vance.
Detective Ramirez kept her weapon raised toward the reinforced steel barrier as heavy gunshots echoed harmlessly against the bulletproof metal plate from the front hallway.
