Chapter 5 - The Night Raid
At 2:00 AM, thick smoke billowed into the dark night sky from behind Ethan’s auto repair shop on the edge of town.
Two masked men in black hoodies splashed gasoline along the wooden back walls, holding road flares ready to ignite the building.
Suddenly, a shadow moved faster than human sight through the darkness.
Before the first arsonist could strike his match, Ethan emerged from the shadows, grabbing the man's wrist with an iron grip and disarming him in one fluid motion.
The second man pulled a hunting knife, swinging wildly, but Ethan effortlessly ducked under the blade, sweeping the attacker's legs out from under him and pinning him face-down on the gravel.
Ethan pulled off the second man's ski mask, revealing the face of Deputy Miller—Sheriff Cole's nephew and right-hand man.
