Attack on the Professor's Hideout

As the Shadow and his men arrive at the Professor’s hideout Willie asks them what they want only to be riddled with bullets from Ava Simmons. Then, Sooraj, hearing the noise escorts Wendelin Aschenbrener to a safe place before heading out with an assault rifle. He waits for them to enter in an elevator shaft and shoots Lewis Porter dead but is shot in the leg and falls down a shallow elevator shaft, causing the Shadow and his mercenaries to think he’s dead. Then the group arrive at the Professor’s hideout and the Professor’s guards Zak and Henry enter first but are riddled with bullets by Simmons, Joel Lane and Nixon Randolph. Yahir manages to wound Lane in the leg causing him and the others to retreat. Meanwhile the Shadow tries to find Aschenbrener and hears his men getting attacked so he goes to help them by giving them extra resistant special forces armor. After that Aschenbrener says that it’s time for him to be a hero, straps two grenades to his belt and charges at Lane, exploding him and almost killing Randolph. With their only target dead the Shadow and his men start to retreat but before Randolph can join the others he is attacked by Oscar who charges at him near the elevator. After a bit of fighting Oscar manages to get Randolph stuck in the elevator door and Wes Roth calls the elevator to get down, not knowing Randolph is stuck in it. The elevator goes up and eventually crushes Randolph's organs and Oscar rescues Sooraj who is healed by the Professor. With their hideout compromised the Professor says he will talk to an old friend and he leaves the hideout with Oscar, Dwayne and Victor. With all the original CICAI heirs dead Roth decides to start looking for the names in the Stonebend building documents, starting by Dom Ellis, the brother of Freddie Ellis and a bar owner in Uxbridge, Massachusetts.
