Glass shattered.

Serena’s heart hammered against her ribs. The sound came from somewhere in the house.

Josh lifted a finger to his lips, indicating silence.

She nodded and withdrew her weapon from the holster at her hip. Moving in tandem they slowly made their way down the hall toward the main part of the house. At the T in the hallway, Josh gestured with two fingers for her to go right, while he’d go left.

Hushed male voices came from the next room. At least two.

Adrenaline pumped through her veins. The nitty-gritty aspect of taking down the bad guys was a necessary part of the job. A part she had no qualms about performing.

Two men stood inside the dining room and another balanced half in, half out of the broken window on the side of the house.

Josh yelled, “Stop. U.S. Marshals.”

The guy half inside the window dropped back outside and disappeared. One of the remaining thugs reached behind his back to whip out a .357 and aimed the pistol at Josh.

Fear slammed into Serena. “Gun!”
