Before she could finish, Chrono yanked on the safety clip of the bomb.
Sam vaulted from Danrique's arm and sank its fangs into Chrono's hand.
There was a sharp pain, and Chrono loosened his fingers, dropping the bomb before Danrique kicked it away from them.
A loud bang resounded, and the bomb detonated without injuring anyone.
However, the explosion rattled
Francesca, and it felt like a blade of agony was splitting her head. Blood started to trickle out of her ears.
Chrono moved to seize her again, but Danrique clamped his hand around Chronos neck in a chokehold, snarling, “How dare you touch a hair on her? I'll send you straight to hell myself!”
Chrono could only groan, and his eyes nearly rolled back in his head.
Noticing that Danrique was almost choking the life out of him, Francesca remembered the bomb in the orphanage and immediately stopped Danrique. “Stop it!"
Danrique released Chrono, who slumped to the ground. Sam wound itself around his neck and gave him another vicious bite.
A shrill scream pierced the air as he fumbled wildly to rip Sam away.
“Tell me where the bomb is in the orphanage,” Francesca demanded.
Chrono drew out a small pistol and took aim at her head.
“Careful!” Danrique jerked her aside, and the bullet struck him in the arm, blood splattering everywhere.
Sean and his men moved to grab
Chrono, but he swung the pistol to aim at them, causing them to recoil instinctively.
He seized the window of opportunity and fled.
Sean and his men were hot on his heels, with the police not far behind them.
