The dull thump inside the court suddenly energized the reporters.
All cameras were pointed, and some people tried to breach the police barricades to interview Jim.
But what no one expected was that, just about three minutes later, the courthouse doors opened, and the SWAT team walked out with the hostages.
Something seemed off. Wasn't there supposed to be a significant incident after the explosion? Why did it seem like the situation had ended instead?
Outsiders didn't know, but Jim did.
SWAT rushed over upon hearing gunfire and an explosion, but by the time they arrived, bodies were already strewn everywhere.
All the drug traffickers were lying on the ground, and the bullet holes in their bodies suggested they wouldn't see tomorrow's sun.
The evidence room door was riddled with bullet holes, and a significant breach had been made as well. The security guards and several bailiffs were all down inside the evidence room.
They were lucky, just knocked out but not dead.
