Antonio had less than 3 seconds to react. The first thing he had to do was locate the bomb. He heard it ticking from the right of him. He spotted it under a couch. He now had about 2 seconds left to get rid of the bomb. He opened a black hole right below it. This took him about half a second. He waited about one second for it to fall into the black hole.

"They just tried to kill us and blow up your house in the process!"

"They're following orders!"

"They're heartless savages. Do you have any idea of how much has changed since we left? The police department is a local military now!"

"That doesn't mean they deserve to die."

"It's what they signed up for. "
