Chapter 161 – How can he be gone?
"Everyone, out," Alex yelled as he forcefully carried Joanna. There were just fifty-nine seconds for the bomb to go off, so if Alex had not seen it in time, they would have all perished in there.
However, Joanna was concerned for Mia and her father. "Dad and Mia are in there," she yelled. Alex was not thinking about protecting his image anymore and instructed,
"Jack, get her out. I will bring them." He handed Joanna over to Jack. The latter wanted to tell him to go with Joanna, that he would bring Mia, but there was no time to argue.
Throwing Joanna gently over his shoulder, he carried her out of the building despite her resistance.
Jack knew she would be stubborn as always, especially when it wasn’t his boss carrying her, which is why he used that method. Who knows? He might just make it back in time to help Alex.
"Call the ambulance when you get out," Alex instructed, as he and Dario screamed, "Everyone get out, there is a bomb."
The medical team was running out, except those in the theater who seemed to have no idea what was going on.
"Sir, there are just ten seconds left. You have to leave too," Ike said worriedly, ready to take on whatever responsibility Alex would give him, even if it cost him his life. But it was as if Alex was not listening to anyone, making his way to the theater.
"This place is going to blow up!" He yelled. The four people stared at him in horror just before the building went up in flames.
Outside, Jack had just succeeded in bringing out Cole, carrying him on his shoulder from the hospital bed when the building went up in flames.
The emergency services had arrived when Jack had not even made the call due to the sound of the blast and the fire.
