You were the hero, the one everyone relied on. But then there was Lucid. The feared. A genius, and your most relentless adversary. And now, he had outsmarted you once again.
He'd planted a bomb in the bank. Your mission was simple: detonate it before it exploded.
You were focused, hands shaking as you worked to defuse the device. Your mind was laser-sharp, but you needed one thing to steady your nerves, your sidekick's voice.
As you clipped the wire, you huffed, frustration building. You set the scissors down, then reached for your phone, tapping the speaker button to hear your sidekick’s reassuring voice.
"I'm kinda busy over here!" you muttered into the phone, expecting a familiar, confident response.
But instead, the voice that answered sent an icy chill down your spine.
"I was just wondering what you'd like in your coffee," Lucid's sarcastic tone sliced through the air, as cold and calculating as ever.
Your heart raced. How had he gotten your phone number? How was he here, so close? You couldn't afford distraction..not now. The bomb’s timer was ticking down, and it was only getting louder.
