Chapter 11 - The Blood On The Ledger
Chaos erupted across the dark warehouse floor as smoke filled the air.
The rooftop guards fired blindly into the smoke before being pinned down by police marksmen.
Julian tackled Clara and Leo to the ground, shielding their bodies with his own.
Victoria screamed in horror as the wind swept her precious documents out of her hands.
The papers scattered wildly into the thick black smoke.
"My money! My estate!" Victoria shrieked, scrambling on her hands and knees in the dirt.
Jax burst through the broken side door, covered in soot and carrying his shotgun.
"Over here, Vance! Move!" Jax yelled through the haze.
Julian grabbed Leo while Clara scrambled up, following Jax toward the rear exit.
Victoria spotted Clara through the smoke and lunged forward with a sharp piece of shattered glass.
"You took my life away from me!" Victoria screamed wildly.
Clara turned just in time, grabbing Victoria's wrist before the glass could pierce her throat.
They struggled violently on the cold concrete floor.
Clara dug her heels in, using all her strength to twist Victoria's hand away.
"You destroyed your own life!" Clara shouted, wrestling the weapon away.

Clara kicked the glass across the floor and pinned Victoria down until two police officers handcuffed her.
Victoria sobbed violently, her high-society facade completely destroyed.
