After the adults had spoken spoken to Emmet once again, Erin began to look slightly panicked."Shh!" Erin said, cutting off all the conversations that the group of teens were having "Can you hear that?"
"Hear what?" Michelle asked
"Ticking" Erin said "It's like a ticking sound!"
The group stood still, trying to hear this ticking sound.
Erin walked over to Esme, shaking her gently and waking her up from her incredibly short nap.
"Erin!" James scolded "Why did you wake her up?"
"Esme, can you hear that ticking sound?" Erin asked.
Esme stood still, squinting slightly as she tried to listen out for the sound but was unable to hear anything.
"Oh my god" Erin mumbled after Esme had shook her head.
Erin rah over to the adults, panting heavily.
"Bomb! He has a bomb!" Erin shouted
Everyone stared at Erin in shock.
"Listen, Mammy! Listen!" Erin shouted
"Och, Erin" Mary said "That's just the big clock"

"It's aiding and abetting! We're talking serious jail time here" Gerry sighed.
The group were sat in a diner, trying to decide what to do with Emmet, the guy who was in Gerry's boot.
On one side of the booth was Orla, Joe, Michelle, Sarah and Erin. Clare was sat in a chair she'd pulled over from another table with the baby next to her.
On the other side of the booth was Esme, James, Gerry and Mary.
"Well, it's a risk we have to take" Joe said calmly
"No, it's not, Joe!" Gerry said "It's not a risk we have to take, it's a risk we shouldn't take!
"Don't you take that tone with me" Joe warned
"He seems like a nice enough fella, Gerry" Mary said
"Mary, we have to find a way to walk away from this" Gerry said
