the dark. We have no idea who his informant is. The Special Task Force deals with all kinds of vicious terrorists, so they are constantly in danger. As if that weren’t enough, they now have Harold, who’s waiting to pounce on them. I’m really worried about my friend. It isn’t an exaggeration to say that she is powerless.”“What you said makes sense. However, this is a crucial moment where one single step can trigger severe consequences. It’s impossible for us to make the Special Task Force return. Judging from the current situation, the only thing we can do is send a backup to capture Harold as soon as possible. We hope you understand,” James uttered with a serious expression. Winnie nodded. “We do.”“All right.” After casting Winnie another glance, James added, “By the way, I hope you don’t involve yourselves in this. It’s very dangerous, after all.”Winnie immediately agreed, “Okay. We’ll take care of the matters related to the chemical plants. Officer Clark, I’ll put my trust in you and leave the rest of the matter in your hands.”Since she was not a professional in dealing with criminals, Winnie did not wish to create trouble for the police.“Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Just leave the rest to us.” With that, James stood up and shook hands with Winnie and Xavier. “I have to arrange a new plan immediately, so I won’t be seeing you out. I will notify you right away once we ensure Ms. Marsh’s safety.”With that, Winnie, Xavier, and David bade James goodbye. Right when they walked out of James’ office, Winnie received a text.Upon reading its contents, she furrowed her brows and stopped in her tracks, catching David’s attention.He turned around and inquired, “What’s wrong?”“Harold has taken the initiative to contact me.” While Winnie said that, she passed her phone to David.At the sight of the way of address at the beginning of the text message, David frowned.“Dear Winnie?” He read the two words aloud, feeling puzzled. “Ms. Garland, are you sure this message is from Harold? This number seems to be a virtual number from the internet. Besides, why would he address you this way?”“It’s a long story. I put up an act in front of him back then to gain his trust. I’m sure this text is from him,” Winnie insisted.“If that is true, then this is bad. Let’s go back and talk to Officer Clark.”In no time, they knocked on James’ door again.When they entered, he had just finished talking to someone on the phone.“What happened?” he questioned upon seeing everyone’s stern expressions.Winnie explained, “Harold asked me to get a GPS from the science academy. He told me to follow the route he placed in there and go somewhere, or he’ll detonate the bomb. I have twenty minutes to do that.”“This is outrageous!” James slammed the table. “It takes around fifteen minutes to get to the science academy from here. It would be best if you left now. I’ll ask the technical team to follow you.”As they had little time, Winnie and the two men headed straight to the science academy without saying anything else.She followed Harold’s instructions in the text and soon found a GPS in the bushes near the science academy’s fence wall.Soon after Winnie turned on the device, Harold’s message arrived: You’re quite fast. It seems like my first bomb is useless now. Now, drive and follow the route I planned. I can track your location, so don’t think of pulling any tricks on me.Winnie clutched the GPS tightly and got into the car.However, she did not leave immediately. After a few minutes, James showed up with his colleagues from the technical team.They checked
