Defusing Her First Bomb

"Me?" Hummingbird asked in surprise.

"Yes, have you forgotten the knowledge we transferred you. I have faith in you," Halia replied.

Hummingbird's heart raced. Although she had the knowledge, she had never actually defused a bomb before. Could she really do it?

She walked over to the bed with hesitation and bent down to look under it. Immediately, she recognized the components under the bed and knew it was a simple bomb to defuse. However, she only had 4 minutes left and Amun had deliberately added a heap of extra wires to confuse her, so she wasn't sure if she could find the right wire in time.

She knew if she ran away with the other agents at that very moment, they could still escape the radius of the explosion with no injuries, but there were still innocent people in that base, including children that had no idea about the bomb, so she agreed that defusing the bomb was the best option.
