This abrupt change of course left everyone in the room stunned.
"It's going to explode?" The one who found it hardest to accept this outcome was Lucas Douglas; he was the least composed tonight.
"An explosion! What should we do?" Michael echoed in alarm, "There's an explosive device connected to Samuel Smith's heart!"
If his heart were to stop suddenly, the entire building would blow up.
Not wanting to be taken by his enemies, he had chosen suicide, pulling everyone down with him in a mass burial.
But after a deadly two-second silence, Hank Clegg cast a sidelong glance at Michael: "Didn't you say you had cut off all information?"
Michael was startled, then suddenly heaved a huge sigh of relief: "That's right, baby Michael cut off all information, and no commands can be sent out of there..."
He was immediately cheerful again: "At last, baby Michael did something right tonight."
A mix of irritation and amusement showed on Hank Clegg's face.
