What’s wrong? Why haven’t you come inside?
She shakes her head and then signs back one word.
Bomb.
Wolf curses when he sees the same thing I do. I walk around the vehicle slowly, looking for the device while Wolf gets on the ground looking underneath it. Abel is on the phone when I come back around.
I place my hand on the window over hers.
Have you looked around inside?
She shakes her head.
“Anything?” I call out.
“Nothing under her. It has to be inside.” Wolf crawls out and stands next to me.
“Bomb squad is on the way,” Abel yells as he walks back to the clubhouse.
I need you to search for the bomb, little bird.
She nods and turns away from us.
“This thing is armored through the teeth. It’s bulletproof glass, reinforced steel panels on the doors and undercarriage.” I look at Wolf and nod.
“Turan would use the best. Blowing up from the inside makes logical sense. Also, it makes it difficult to disarm.” A tap on the window draws our attention.
Aspen holds a small black bag in her hands.
Open the zipper slowly.
She follows my directions, revealing a digital clock with red numbers flashing at us.
Forty-five minutes.
A commotion makes us look back at the clubhouse. Abel has everyone leaving, and I nod at him. While he evacuates everyone to safety, I can concentrate on the Aspen.
“Spark,” Wolf answers his phone and curses.
“Is he breathing? Okay, we have a situation here. We found Aspen. No, don’t come here. Go to your house. I’ll explain later.” He hangs up and looks at me.
“He found Xander knocked out. No sign of Malachi.” He shakes his head as he makes a call.
“Glitch, please tell me you’re tracking the cop.” I ignore him and focus on Aspen.
I need you to lift it out carefully.
She shakes her head.
I know you’re scared, but I need you to trust me.
It’s been years since I worked with explosives. I hope my memory doesn’t fail me now. Otherwise, we’re all in trouble.
CHAPTERNINETEEN
MALACHI
“Nice flying,”Jared says to Xander.
