the track of the guards making their rounds. When they got near the front

entrance they stopped.

 

Knox looked at her watch, counted down, and then gave a thumbs-up to Rogers.

 

A second later the quiet was broken by glass being shattered, followed by twin

explosions. Smoke started pouring out of the upstairs windows of the main house.

 

Screams were heard, an alarm went off, and Knox and Rogers shrank back into the

shadows as the guards ran pell-mell toward the main house.

 

An SUV pulled up to the main gate and the driver leapt out and rushed over to

the main house, leaving the vehicle running.

 

A minute later four guards rushed outside. Suzanne Davis, in a bathrobe, Helen

Myers, fully dressed, and an old man in a wheelchair were with them.

 

They headed straight for the SUV.

 

And ran right into Rogers and Knox.

 

And Puller on the backside.

 

Rogers took one of the guards and threw him so hard against another that they

both hit the wall and slumped down unconscious.
