29 Minutes Left and I'm the Suspected Bomber Chapter 11
"Take her away," Chief Waller ordered.Two special agents stepped forward and took Christine by the arms, one on each side."Let go of me! Let go!"Christine struggled wildly, her shrill screams echoing inside the command vehicle. "Uncle Larry, save me!"Chief Wyatt opened his mouth, but not a single word came out. That was because two more special agents had already stepped up to him."Mr. Larry Wyatt, please cooperate with the investigation.""Y-You can't do this." Chief Wyatt retreated a step, his back hitting the wall of the vehicle. "You don't have the authority—""As of this moment, you are a nobody," Chief Waller interjected without even sparing him a glance.The click of handcuffs sounded twice inside the command vehicle—once for Christine, and the other for Larry.With trembling hands, Captain Hunter walked over to me, key in hand."Officer Kinney, I'm sorry." He unlocked the handcuffs from my wrists. "I should have made that call earlier. If I had, maybe—"He could

In the next instant, a police unit surged past the cordon.All of them wore black tactical uniforms, the golden emblem of the Special Operations Bureau stitched onto their sleeves.The man at the front had silver at his temples and a lean, wiry frame. Behind me followed eight fully armed special agents, along with two men in dark suits. Obviously, they were from the Internal Affairs Unit.Captain Hunter was the first to react. He snapped to attention, his hands instinctively pressing flat against the seams of his pants.The man strode straight to the command vehicle and pulled open the door. His gaze swept over every face inside before finally coming to rest on Chief Wyatt."Larry Wyatt?"Chief Wyatt shot to his feet on instinct, the cigarette slipping from his fingers."W-Who are you?"The man pulled out a deep red credential, flipping it open and holding it before Chief Wyatt's face."I'm Jake Waller from the Special Operations Bureau. By order of senior command, I am hereby

Chief Wyatt let out a cold laugh and shouted into the phone, "Old geezer, all you can do is repeat yourself. You say you're a security advisor? Fine, bring in the higher-ups then."Stop hiding behind a phone, putting on an act. This city belongs to the Wyatts! No matter how much power you think you have, your reach doesn't extend into my turf."Mr. Ferrell's tone shifted. "Larry, I'm giving you five minutes."Chief Wyatt shoved the phone in front of my face. "Five minutes? Fine. I'll wait right here for five minutes. And if you can't cough up something real by then, I'll treat this call as evidence of a threat against a public official."When that happens, don't think I'll stop at your granddaughter—I'll come for you too!"Christine clapped her hands beside him."Uncle Larry, you're so awesome!" She shot me a wink. "Julius, did you hear that? Five minutes—the countdown starts now."Chief Wyatt dropped himself onto the fold-out stool in the command vehicle, crossing his legs. The

"Old geezer, who do you think you are? Yes, it's tragic when people die. But that's because of the explosion. What does that have to do with Christine? "If you think your granddaughter had a hard lot in life, then she was just unlucky. The same goes for the others who died. It has nothing to do with us."Chief Wyatt lifted his chin, dripping with bureaucratic arrogance. "Whoever you are, in this city, affairs within the system are none of an outsider's business."The voice on the other end paused for a moment."Very well then. You just wait right there."Chief Wyatt let out a scoff. "Who are you trying to scare? Old geezer, if you've got any real pull, don't hide behind a phone. I've seen it all—if you've got the guts, say it to my face."He then turned to Captain Hunter and said in a raised voice, "What are you standing around for? Didn't you hear me? Release Christine and make sure Julius is cuffed tight. I'm taking the case."Captain Hunter stood frozen in place. He was star

My heart sank as I watched Captain Hunter's expression. He was Chief Wyatt's direct subordinate.12 minutes later, several black sedans pulled up.The doors swung open, and a middle-aged man with a buzz cut stormed over, trailed by four uniformed officers behind him."Who's been harassing my niece?"Christine's eyes reddened instantly as she rushed over."Uncle Larry, you finally made it! It's Julius. He showed up at the hotel entrance with a whole case of bombs, got caught by the police, and now he's trying to pin the blame on me."He even got some old geezer to call, pretending to be some kind of security advisor just to scare me! Uncle Larry, look at my wrist—the mark from the handcuffs is still there!"She thrust her wrists in front of Larry. There was indeed a faint red line on them, but she had scratched it there herself.Chief Wyatt glanced down at her wrist, his face darkening as he spun toward Captain Hunter."Scott, do you still want to keep your job? Who gave you th

Captain Hunter instinctively glanced toward Christine.Christine, still trying to snatch her phone back, had completely failed to notice the shift in atmosphere inside the vehicle."Give my phone back already. There are private chats with my friends in there. It's illegal for you to look through them."However, no one paid her any attention.Gripping my phone, I answered hoarsely, "Mr. Ferrell, the person who stopped me is right beside me. It's my intern, Christine Wyatt. She falsely reported to security that I was carrying detonators and explosives."She also fabricated lies about me having a mental illness and being fired, which got the police on scene to keep me handcuffed for 22 minutes.""22 minutes? That's enough time to defuse three bombs!" Mr. Ferrell roared angrily from the other end.Christine finally sensed that something was wrong. After pulling her phone out of Captain Hunter's grip, she glanced around at the faces inside the vehicle and let out a dismissive laugh.
