CH653: The Eye Of Horus I

**

"Bomb! Everyone get away!"

A middle-aged man shouted to people roaming a plaza. At the centre of the panicked and fleeing crowd, a young man in his late teens to early twenties crouched by a fountain where he carefully opened a duffel bag.

The youth looked Arab, of North African origin.

Nothing else particularly stood out about this youth, except for the symbol pinned to his chest. The symbol was an eye in a triangle.

Some people might consider this symbol an omen, others who knew its origin would see it as an amulet of good fortune.

The symbol was the Eye of Horus.

The youth looked into the bag and its content was exactly the bomb the middle-aged man warned people about.

He ignored the commotion from the fleeing crowd. There were just above two minutes left on the bomb. It wasn't enough for everyone in the large plaza to get away. He had to do something about the bomb now.
