Then, Lucas directed his flame toward the metal tip that was situated at the very end of the gadget in order to light the small firecracker.
This was the very last part of the device. After that, Lucas gave the weapon a quick rotation, which resulted in a grin forming on his face. After that, Lucas walked away.
Alister took a few long, deep breaths, and while he was doing so, he moved his head ever-so-slightly to the side.
When Lucas lifted his head to gaze at the tree where he had been hiding, he noticed a small blue flame that lit up the fireworks display.
This provided Lucas with evidence that he had successfully concealed himself in the appropriate spot.
After that, he moved his thumb farther down the cigar, which caused it to burn at a faster rate. Afterward, he pushed his thumb even deeper down the cigar.
In the nick of time, Lucas was able to remove the fuse from the firecracker as it was exploding.
