Right now.
There were exactly eight minutes left until the first strike on the security system.
Clutching a gun, Tansy trailed behind a bribed maid.
Carrying a tray of supplies, she made her way toward where Donald was being held.
The guards at the door were glued to the security monitors.
There were three critical feeds.
One was of her own room. Anticipating this scenario, she had swapped places with her personal maid the night before.
The makeup techniques she had honed over the years had finally paid off.
Given her half-Astorian features, no one would notice the switch unless they scrutinized her up close.
The other two feeds monitored Donald and Lottie's rooms.
When they reached the door, the guards barely spared them a glance, waving them inside without a thorough check.
Hearing the door open, Donald instinctively looked up.
When his eyes landed on the maid's face, his eyelashes fluttered.
It was her.
Tansy.
Why was she here?
The moment she set the water down.
A massive explosion erupted from the warehouse in the distance.
Boom!
Flames shot into the sky, accompanied by thick, billowing smoke.
"Dammit, the warehouse blew up!" The guards instantly rushed to the window, shouting in panic. "How did the outbound shipment explode?!"
Donald completely ignored the explosion outside. All his attention was locked onto the disguised Tansy.
Tansy shot a frantic glance at the security camera.
Her father's attention had thankfully been drawn to the chaos outside.
The entire compound was in an uproar, with people screaming to put out the fire.
It was the perfect opening.
"Ah!"
Seizing the opportunity, Tansy let out a terrified shriek. Feigning a panic attack, she dropped to the floor and swiftly began dismantling the timer strapped to Donald's leg.
She had done her homework and knew exactly how to defuse it.
