Chapter 9 - The Lethal Strike
Before Victor’s blade could get within three feet of the hospital bed, Mr. Gallo moved with terrifying speed.
His large, tattooed hand clamped around Victor's wrist like a steel vise. With a single brutal twist, the pocket knife clattered to the floor, followed by the sickening crunch of breaking bone.
Victor dropped to his knees, howling in agony as Mr. Gallo held him pinned effortlessly against the tiled floor.
"You touched a sick child in my presence," Mr. Gallo growled into his ear, his dark eyes filled with absolute fury. "You will spend the rest of your miserable life rotting in a federal penitentiary."
The two federal marshals stepped forward immediately, clicking heavy steel handcuffs onto Victor's broken wrist and hauling him off the floor.
"Victor Vance," the lead marshal declared. "You are under arrest for attempted murder, arson, corporate fraud, and environmental poisoning."
As Victor was dragged out screaming into the busy hospital corridor, Dr. Harrison was simultaneously placed in handcuffs by hospital security for medical malpractice and extortion.
The room fell into a profound, heavy silence.
Mr. Gallo adjusted his black sleeves, turning his attention toward the team of specialists standing by the door.
