Scott immediately issued orders, leaning against the car window and saying, “You can’t go in. There’s a gasoline leak in the car. It might explode before the bomb does!”

Dexter knelt in front of Josie, ignoring everything else, and focused solely on checking the timer on the bomb beneath them.

Josie froze, seeing his hands covered in blood from the shattered window glass.

The man appeared completely indifferent, furrowing his brow at the bomb. Several wires of different colors were intertwined. Cutting the right one might prevent the bomb from exploding.

Josie was on the verge of tears. “It’s really not my fault. He kidnapped me, and there’s also Mallory. What can I do?”
