Chapter 10

Athena and I were on our way to lunch, when her radio went off.
"Suspected bomb at." The dispatcher named her house and street.
"Looks like we need to cut this short."
"Of course." I nodded as she did a u-turn.

Once we got there, Athena and I both got out of the car, running to her family.
"You guys okay?" She asked hugging May.
"Yeah, we're fine." Athena sighed in relief as she hugged Harry.
"Oh, thank God you were here." Athena said as I rubbed Harry's shoulder.

"You know, something."
"Just looked wrong, you know?" Ben asked as we nodded.
"Sergeant Grant." Boyd from ATF said coming over to us as we all went to go talk to him.
"Yeah."
"Shawn Boyd. ATF. I'm running point on the serial bomber task force."
"So, it's confirmed?" I asked referring to the bomb theory.
"I'm on this guy's mailing list?" Athena said anxiety filled.
"We think so. Gold foil seems to be consistent with the higher three bombings." The robot picked up the box.
"Three?" Athena and I both asked as she gave me a look.

"We found another this morning. Vernon Clemmons. L. A. Superior Court judge. You know him?" I looked at Athena.
"I've been in his courtroom more than once. Is he okay?"
"Pronounced dead on the scene." Boyd said.
"Are you gonna take it with you?" I hid a laugh.
"We're gonna try. Could be some valuable evidence inside that box." The robot moved away and the lid shut.
"Every package has gone off as soon as someone moves." The package went off as Harry looked at us.
"That was it?" I burst out laughing.

We sat in Athena's house, Harry showing me his science project.
"Nice kid!" We high fived as the door opened.
"Thank you, Officer." Uncle Bobby's voice said as I looked up to see him walking in.
"Hey, I got here as fast as I could. They wouldn't let me down the street." He said before looking at me.
"Buck's outside." I nodded before heading out there.

"Oh thank God." He held me tightly as I ran into his arms.
"I'm fine, I wasn't the one who found it anyways." I said pulling away.
"I'm just glad your okay." I nodded.
Buck looked me up and down as I raised an eyebrow.
"What?" I asked.
"Your gaining weight."
"When we met I was 80 pounds, now I'm 100 pounds." He smiled widely.
He picked me up twirling me around before putting me back on the ground.
He cupped my cheeks pulling me into a kiss.
I giggled moving away as he checked his watch.
"I gotta get to work, but we're celebrating after." I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah, yeah." I said.
He gave me another kiss before opening his jeep door.
"See you later." I nodded as he got inside.
"Be safe." I kissed his cheek.
"Always am."
Buck drove office as I made my way into the house.
