Chapter 75: The Line They Would Not Cross
Frank parked the van a block away and killed the engine.
Rain still came down in thin sheets that soaked through jackets. He looked at the warehouse across the street.
"Status," he asked commandingly.
A man in the back tapped his tablet and then spoke. "Sensors are live. There is a device wired to the central structural supports. We detected a high-yield charge when we scoped the exterior. The blast pattern would collapse the roof and send debris across two blocks."
Frank had seen too many bodies to let fear paralyze him. "Get me a read on the trigger," he said. "Is it remote or pressure?"
"Both," the tech answered. "Pressure plates in the floor and a wireless detonator. Range is extensive. It can be triggered over cellular. There is a fail safe that will detonate if tampering is detected."
The rain blurred the warehouse facade. Through the steam of heated engines and the glow of police lights, Ethan's cameras winked like stars.
