Chapter 7 - Intrusion of the shadow thieves 

Chief Melton John, alerted by the peculiar scene of the drunken guards, swiftly took charge of the investigation. Determined to get to the bottom of the mysterious occurrence, he called Lexus Tristan to review the footage captured by the previous camera tapes. If something was amiss, they needed to identify the source and act swiftly.

Lexus attentively studied the monitor screens, his eyes scanning the recorded events from earlier. As he meticulously analyzed the guards' movements, a dawning realization crept over him. Their slumber had come upon them with unnerving swiftness, suggesting the use of a potent tranquilizer. His suspicions were confirmed as he spotted shadows darting across the screen, appearing in camera number 4 and camera number 9.

In that instant, Lexus's trained instincts kicked in, and his mind raced to piece together the puzzle before him. The gravity of the situation hit him like a jolt of electricity. Security had been breached, and there were now seven intruders within the mansion's walls. Panic welled up within him as he grasped the severity of the threat.

Reacting swiftly, Lexus relayed the alarming discovery to Chief Melton. The urgency in his voice was evident as he declared over the radio, "Security breached! We have seven intruders! This is not a drill! I repeat, this is not a drill!" His words echoed through the corridors, alerting every member of the security team to the imminent danger that now loomed over them.

Outside the mansion, the ten roaming guards acknowledged the distress call. Their voices crackled through the radio, reporting that they had lost one of their comrades, his status unknown. The gravity of the situation intensified, fueling a sense of urgency and determination among the remaining guards.

Lexus, his focus sharpened by the unfolding events, harnessed his abilities in the monitor room. His trained eyes darted across the screens, meticulously observing every corner of the mansion. The weight of responsibility rested on his shoulders as he became the eyes and ears of the security team.

He scanned the halls, the corridors, and every hidden nook, searching for any signs of the intruders. Every movement, every flicker of darkness, held his attention. The adrenaline surged through his veins, sharpening his senses and heightening his awareness. In that moment, he embodied the essence of a protector, ready to confront any threat that dared to encroach upon the mansion.

As the red alert blared throughout the mansion, the security team sprang into action. They positioned themselves strategically, their training kicking in as they prepared to defend the estate against the unknown intruders. Chief Melton's voice commanded authority as he coordinated the response, his directives disseminated through the radio, guiding the team with unwavering determination.

Lexus, locked in the surveillance room, felt the weight of his role as the guardian of the mansion's security. His fingers danced across the control panel, manipulating the camera angles and maximizing his surveillance capabilities. The cameras became his eyes, enabling him to monitor every corner of the mansion, even as his heart raced with anticipation.

In the face of the unknown, Lexus's determination remained unyielding. The safety of the Bendeta Mansion and its secrets rested in his hands, and he would not falter in his duty to protect it. The shadows may have infiltrated their sanctuary, but he would ensure that they would not prevail.

The stage was set, tension hung in the air, and a battle between light and darkness loomed on the horizon. Lexus Tristan, the unassuming security officer, stood resolute, ready to confront the enigma that had enveloped the mansion. The fate of the Bendeta family's treasure and the truth behind its significance were about to be unveiled in the relentless pursuit of justice and protection.
