Bill Bolton and Hidden Danger

A violent summer storm rages over the Bolton estate, and the sudden crack of gunfire shatters the night’s uneasy calm. Bill Bolton, half‑asleep in his dark bedroom, watches a flash of red fire strike a maple tree and sees a boy, Charlie Evans, clinging to ivy as the attackers open fire. With quick reflexes Bill pulls the boy to safety, tenders water, and locks the windows while the unseen assailants regroup outside.

Now the house is a nervous hub of whispered plans and half‑lit corridors. Bill spots six shadowy figures positioning themselves along the driveway, their intentions as opaque as the night itself. Determined to protect his friend and uncover who’s targeting them, he steadies himself for a tense night of evasion and daring, setting the stage for a daring chase that will test both his courage and his wits.
