"Four, I think I found something." I state in shock.
"What is it?" He asks and leans over my shoulder. I pause the video footage and point to a guy. He has a black ski mask on and is ducked behind a car.

"There's a bomb in the parking lot." I curse and grab my phone.

"Myra you have to evacuate the scene. There's a bomb placed on the east end of the parking lot. There's a red car, and the rear tire had a bomb." I say in a hurry.

"Tris, what are you talking about-"
"Listen to me. There's a bomb at the crime scene. You need to get everyone out of there!" I interrupt. Four shuffled around the room. He finds his phone and begins talking to someone.

"Ok, ok. I'll contact everyone. Are you safe? Where are you?" She asks.

"I'm fine! Just get everyone out!" I worriedly explain.
"I'm on it." she replies and the line goes dead.
"Cmon." four days and grabs my hand. We rush out of the room and into the parking lot. He pops his trunk open and tosses me a huge rifle.

"What is this for?!" I exclaim.
"I tracked the man who placed the bomb. He's on the move to the airport." he replies and shoves a knife into his boot.

We quickly get in the car and he hands me his phone.
"We have to intercept his route. Uriah and Zeke are on the way. Tell me which streets to take." he orders and speeds out of the parking garage. The olive radio sounds off and I quickly answer it.

"We're in south main." Uriah states and four turns on to a random street. I look at the device in my hand and then at the small blue dot. The blue dot stands for the mystery guy.

"Take the next right." I order. Four swerves past a car and people begin beeping.

"We just turned on to carriage drive." I radio Uriah back.

"Guys, this is going to be a bumpy ride." Zeke states in a worried tone.
________________
After an hour of chasing the black pick up truck, we finally corner it. Uriah is in the front, Zekes on his right side, and four and I are in back of him. On the left side there's in going traffic, so he can't get away.

"Something's up, its like he let us catch him." I whisper to four.

"I know." he replies and worriedly glances at me.
"Guys, he-" Uriah starts to talk through the radio but it goes dead. I frown and twiddle with the nobs.

"The driver has something to ping our messages back to us." four realizes. A string of curse words escape his mouth and I grab my phone. I try to call Zeke but have no service.

"He's intercepting everything." four informs me.
"Why? What is that going to a-" the car comes to a halt and four slams on the breaks.

"Are you okay?" He asks.
"Yea I'm fine, you?" I ask.
"Yea." he replies and starts driving again.
"What if the bomb was a trick?" I ask.
"What do you mean?" He asks.

"If he planted the bomb in the parking lot it would've went off by now. Right? I mean what's the point of leaving it there for over three hours. What if it's not a real bomb. What if this guy has the real one?" I ask trying to connect the dots. Four glances over at me and curses.

"We need to get Uriah and Zeke out of the way." He interrupts in a hurry.

"How?! The phones and radio aren't working-"
"Shoot Zekes tire out." he interrupts and hands me a hand gun.

"He can get hurt! His car will-"
"He'll be fine. I promise. You have to do this." he begs. I take the gun and roll the window down. Fours free hand wraps around my hip and he holds me in place so I don't fall.

"Be careful." he murmurs and I roll my eyes.
"This is your idea." I huff and point the gun to Zekes back right tire.

"Steady the car!" I exclaim and four does as told. I let out a breath then pull the trigger. The bullet whizzes through the air and I hear the pop as it comes in contact with the tire. Four pulls me back in the car and I breathe out a sigh of relief. Zekes car swerves into the grass and he turns the car just in time for it to safely land in a ditch. Uriah swerves his car out of the way and on to the side of the road. Then an explosion sounds off and flames erupt from the car in front of us.
