Chapter 11 - The Blackwood Asylum
The heavy, armored tactical SUVs tore violently through the torrential rain, speeding recklessly up the winding, treacherous mountain roads two hours north of the city. Ethan sat in the passenger seat of the lead vehicle, his jaw clenched so tightly the muscles ached. He meticulously checked the magazine of his heavy sidearm, his brilliant mind completely consumed by the singular, overwhelming objective of saving his wife.
The vehicles finally broke through the heavy tree line, stopping abruptly just outside massive, rusted iron gates.
Blackwood Private Psychiatric Facility looked more like a decaying, gothic maximum-security prison than a medical clinic. Surrounded by high stone walls topped with razor wire, the imposing brick structure was entirely completely isolated from the outside world. It was a corrupt, off-the-grid dumping ground where incredibly wealthy families paid millions of dollars to permanently disappear their unwanted relatives.
Standing behind the heavy iron gates were two massive, heavily armed private security guards holding assault rifles.
"Ram the gates," Ethan commanded, his voice completely cold, entirely devoid of any mercy.
The driver didn't hesitate. The massive, reinforced steel bumper of the armored SUV accelerated violently forward. With a deafening, thunderous crash, the heavy vehicle smashed directly through the center of the rusted iron gates, tearing them completely off their hinges.
The two corrupt guards scrambled frantically backward, raising their rifles, but Ethan’s elite tactical team flooded out of the vehicles with blinding, military speed. Before the corrupt guards could fire a single shot, they were violently tackled to the wet asphalt, their weapons forcefully kicked away.
