“Umm Jack, any time now!” Hetz said the words as he rushed yet another group of civilians out of the building.
“I'm trying! It's not the easiest thing in the world though. Keep the civis moving.” At this point a heat wave surged through the room around her, reminding her that the AC had been turned off. She wiped the sweat out of her eyes and re-gripped the wire cutters. Now was not the time to slip up. She wasn't sure what the perfect weather for deactivating bomb was but this wasn't it.
“Jack. Jack! JACK FIRE!” Hetz shouted and her mind jumped back to work, realizing the bare wires were causing a bit of a ruckus.
“It's fine! You worry too much.”
“You defusing a bomb and started a fire. I'm pretty sure those are rational thoughts.” Jack snickered and a loud popping noise came from the bomb. “Jack!”
“We're fine! I'm like 75% sure this isn't going to blow up.”
