Zoe Sawyer pumped her fist in a flash of understanding, but she was careful to keep her voice down so she wouldn't disturb Heath Hale as he worked on the bomb.
The others shot her confused looks, but Zoe Sawyer just shook her head and pointed toward Heath Hale, indicating that now wasn't the time to talk.
All eyes focused back on Heath Hale.
As the timer on the bomb ticked down, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Heath Hale was nervous too, but his hands remained steady as he snipped the last wire.
Only after the timer stopped completely did everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.
'This huge mess is finally taken care of!'
Zoe Sawyer stared at the line of white text on her door. It had changed from "Evan Keller and his team members killed in explosion" to "The Lumina, Building Two, destroyed by explosion. Identities of fallen officers pending confirmation."
'Didn't we already defuse it?'
'Why is it still going to explode?'
