Chapter 902:
âYes,â Gordon answered, standing back-to-back with her. âTheyâre in the car. Iâll grab them.â
Allison quickly looked toward the distant street. âGood, hurry.â
If Verrucktâs reinforcements showed up before the firefighters or reporters, they wouldnât make it out alive. She needed those explosives to prevent that from happening.
âIâm on it,â Gordon said, racing toward the car.
The bombs had originally been meant for Bill, but now they would be used against Verruckt and his men.
Before long, Gordon came back with the explosives.
âGood job. Buy me some time,â Allison ordered.
âGot it,â Gordon replied, opening fire to clear a path for her. Allison immediately focused on the bomb. It was a custom-made deviceâone she knew inside and out.
She briefly glanced at Kellan and Verruckt.
Neither man was backing down; their brutal punches landed one after another. The horrifying sound of bone smashing into flesh was more terrifying than any weapon.
But Kellan couldnât hold on much longer. Verrucktâs monstrous strength was starting to wear him down.

Staring at the bomb in her hands, Allison muttered, âHope this does the trick.â
The bomb was powerfulâfar too dangerous for close-range use.
She quickly got to work, making rapid adjustments.
With special gloves on, she expertly removed the cover and began reworking the wiring and explosive placement.
But just as she was getting into it, Jareth appeared again. âAlice, you traitor! Youâve turned on Mr. Shaw! Youâve got to pay the price!â
He wasnât armed with a gun anymore but held a curved kukri knife, stalking toward her with deadly intent.
âYouâve got it wrong. Iâm Allison, not Alice,â she shot back, kicking him to the ground before stepping back a few paces, still holding the bomb.
âJareth, you should know that if you donât leave now, even without us stopping you, once the military gets here, you wonât have anywhere to run.â
Verruckt had made too many enemies over the years.
Everyone was just waiting for him to fall.
âLeave? Iâve got nowhere to go!â Jareth sneered, wiping blood from his lips.
He had worked for Verruckt for years, and if Verruckt died, heâd be trapped too.
Jarethâs eyes burned with rage. âWho wouldâve thought youâd trick us so completely?â he spat, his words laced with hatred.
Allisonâs gaze hardened. âSo, youâre going to fight me now?â
Jareth smirked. âIf Iâm going down, Iâm taking you with me.â
