Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1013

By twelve-thirty, York Vance led a special ops unit to the designated location to rescue the hostage.

Harvey went with them. Consumed by anxiety, he insisted on going no matter what.

Whether it was his sister or not, he had to be there.

At one o'clock, thirty minutes after York's team departed, Master Ellis received another update:

It was confirmed that the woman in the car was indeed Natalie Rivers, and Mishka was currently strapping something to her—suspected to be detonators.

According to informants in her inner circle, Mishka planned to bring Natalie and Mara to the meeting.

This confirmed Mira's earlier suspicions. Mishka was going to use a rigged Natalie to hold Mira hostage.

If that was true, the situation was dire. Even aside from her friendship with Harvey, Mira couldn't just ignore the life of a fellow citizen.

With things at this point, they could only play it by ear. She could only pray that York and the others succeeded in saving Natalie.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Mishka's subordinates tried to advise her. "Boss, let us handle it. It's too dangerous for you to go."

"This is our territory; you think they can flip the sky here? I've waited too long for this day. I have to be there.\nI want to watch Mira die with my own eyes!\nThen, I'm going to drag her corpse back to the hospital and gut her completely. I'll turn her bones into Human Bone Carvings for those filthy men with twisted fetishes to play with."

At that moment, Mara turned to Mishka. "Didn't you promise me I could infect her with HIV?"

"We have two plans. If you can infect her, great. If not, we go with my explosive route."

Back at the inn, the time arrived. Mira showed up at the agreed location exactly on schedule. However, she stopped at a safe distance of about a hundred feet from Mara.

Eighty feet was the lethal radius for standard small-scale time bombs.

If they were using a medium or large explosive, the device would be bulky enough to spot at a glance.

Furthermore, an explosion of that magnitude would obliterate Mishka and her guards before they could run. It would also alert the military.

They wouldn't risk using something that massive.
