"You did an excellent job!"
Sean praised Alkaid generously, acknowledging the immense willpower she had displayed in dealing with the enemy.
Then the conversation shifted, and he instructed, "Alkaid, hold on a little longer. When you hear the command, cut the wire first."
Before Alkaid could respond, General Hayes interjected," Mr. Anderson, time is running out."
Alkaid's weak voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"Master, I can hold on a little longer."
Relief and appreciation flickered in Sean's eyes.
She was a worthy member of the Grandset.
Without hesitation, he gave the order, "Everyone, get ready and listen to my instructions."
"Yes!" came the synchronized response.
Alkaid clutched her chest, trembling and on the verge of fainting.
But she persisted, memories of her time with Selon flashing through her mind.
Only by defusing the bomb could everyone return safely, and she could be reunited with Selon.
This belief fueled her determination, and when Sean shouted "one," she swiftly cut the yellow wire.
The moment it was severed, everyone, including Sean and General Hayes, held their breath.
They awaited the announcement of the outcome, fully aware that cutting the wrong wire would mean their demise.
A bead of sweat rolled down General Hayes' forehead as he swallowed, his heart racing.
He was not the only anxious one. The others were all tense, their palms sweaty.
Sean stared at the changing numbers on the timer, and suddenly, there was a "tick" sound.
Everyone's heart was at their throats.
