They Benched the Wrong Guy Chapter 9
A few days later, the task force dropped its report, laying out the whole mess.It didn't hold back. Ryan's jealousy—driven by his lack of skill. Jacob abusing his power to chase credit. And Dana, kicking it all off with that misleading video and false claims.Those were the triggers behind the backlash.Jacob and Ryan were kicked out of the unit.Both faced prosecution for gross negligence.Dana? No charges—but her reputation was wrecked.Coworkers whispered behind her back. The same "besties" who hyped her up while she trashed Cole? Now they laughed, calling her out for throwing away a real hero.Out on the street, the looks followed her. Cold. Weird. Unavoidable.She burned through every option before finally getting a rough address for Cole's new unit from some distant relative.The place was locked down even tighter.She ignored the guards trying to chase her off and stayed at the main gate. Days. Sun beating down, wind cutting through her—she didn't move.All for one s

Medics rushed in, lifting Haisley onto a stretcher.She found a bit of strength, grabbed my hand, tears running down her face."Cole... you saved us... you saved our family..."Dana stood beside her, crying hard. She looked at me, guilt all over her face.I just nodded, pulled my hand free.Then I turned away and quietly started sorting my tools.The whole time, I never looked at Dana again. Like we were just strangers who used to know each other.Commander Rowan strode over, took off his cap, and gave a sharp salute.Then he grabbed my hand and faced the cameras."I hereby reinstate Lieutenant Cole Chadwick, effective immediately, and award him a Special Class Merit Citation! A full investigation will be launched into the injustice done to him—and his name will be cleared!"Ryan stumbled over, face white as paper. "L-Lieutenant Chadwick... I..."I didn't even look at him. Handed him the toolbox."Clean it up."No emotion.Not far off, two disciplinary officers had Jacob

Every term I spoke into the mic streamed back to command.Stuff Ryan had spent hours staring at on his tablet—and still didn't get.Now he came sprinting back with my toolbox, drenched in sweat, gasping.I didn't turn. Spoke calmly over the public channel—to command and everyone watching the livestream."This trigger chain's built on fake separation. Multiple points look independent, but they're all linked. Touch one, the system reads it as forced entry and speeds up the countdown."I glanced at Ryan. "Like Lieutenant Cocke's earlier move on the signal. Didn't help—just tripped a trap and shaved three minutes off the clock. Textbook amateur mistake."That was basically a public humiliation.Ryan's face went red, like he wanted the ground to swallow him."Hand me insulation barriers A3 and A5."He scrambled through the toolbox and shoved them over, hands shaking."Now take the insulated pliers. Cut the third red dummy wire on the left. Then hit that thermal sensor with the liq

I stood, packed up my rod.Relief hit the team all at once.I grabbed the satellite phone and called Central Command."Commander Rowan, I'll come back. Three conditions.""You have my word.""First, I want the fastest ride you've got. Send a helicopter.""Approved.""Second, I need someone on tools the whole time. I'm naming Lieutenant Ryan Cocke."A brief pause—then firmer. "Approved.""Third, from the second I arrive to the final cut, all body cams stay on. Livestream the entire operation. I want the world watching.""Agreed. All conditions accepted."At the command post, the order came through. Jacob and Ryan went pale.Thirty minutes later, a military chopper hovered over the reservoir, then dropped.Jacob stood at the cabin door, forcing a smile that looked worse than a grimace. "Cole..."I walked right past him and boarded.Headset on, I went straight to Central Command."Send all HD surveillance and the bomb schematics to my tablet. Prep Tool Kits A, C, and F. Br

Inside the command post, every eye snapped to Jacob.His face went corpse-pale.Commander Rowan's gaze cut sharp and locked on him. "Captain Todd. Explain."Cold sweat broke across Jacob's forehead. His lips shook, but nothing came out. "I... I...""Where is he?!" Commander Rowan roared.Jacob flinched, scrambling for his phone, hands shaking as he dialed Cole."Sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off."The cold, robotic voice rang in his ears.He tried again.Same result."It's off! His phone's off!" he shouted.Jacob snapped at his men. "Find him! Send a team—whatever it takes, get to the reservoir and drag him back!" His voice sharp, panic slipping through.Outside the mall, Dana stood past the police line, staring at where her mom was trapped. She looked like she might collapse any second.The timer kept dropping—each number hitting like a punch.She called Cole again and again.Same message. Phone dead.Panic took over. She started firing off voice message

"Hey—don't panic. Slow down. What happened?""It's her birthday. We were supposed to have dinner there! Then they rushed in and took her! Cole, you have to save her! Aren't you the best bomb tech?"Sirens screamed through the line. People yelling in the background.***Third-Person POVAt the temporary command post downtown, the pressure in the air felt crushing.Jacob stared at the bomb schematic on the screen, his face drained.He'd never seen anything like it—some twisted, linked explosive. The red timer kept ticking, cold and steady.Ryan stood next to him, gripping a tablet, sweat dripping down his forehead. His "standard procedures" were a total joke now.Trying to dodge the blame, Jacob angled toward the commander."This setup's way off-book. Lieutenant Cole Chadwick's handled weird devices before. Maybe... Though, he works solo, keeps things to himself, doesn't exactly file reports—"He didn't get to finish.An urgent report cut him off."Commander Rowan! A second
