The drug lord and his trusted subordinates fled in a panic, running straight into the ambush set by Scott Sullivan and his men. Desperate, they burst into the office.

No one had anticipated such a sudden turn of events, and everyone was frozen in fear.
Leo Wright's eyes narrowed. He discreetly shielded Susan Caldwell behind him and whispered, "These people are dangerous."
