Before he could recover from the shock, there was a sudden crash as the front door was locked open, and a group of armed men burst into the house. Gunfire erupted, filling the air with the sound of bullets and screams, as the two groups battled for control.
"Get down!" Theodore yelled, as he and the men scrambled for cover. It was impossible as they were in an open space.
As soon as Theodore finished speaking, the room erupted into chaos. Bullets flew in every direction, and the men ducked for cover. Theodore tried to take aim, but it was impossible to tell friend from foe in the confusion.
The air was thick with smoke and the smell of gunpowder. He could hear his men shouting, but he couldn't tell what they were saying. It was like a nightmare, and he could only hope that they would make it out alive.
