Ticking time bomb

The bodyguards reflexively stopped. This woman was holding Santino's only daughter…they had to be careful. 

Before they could plan to sneak-attack Shera, Amanda laughed evilly and ripped apart her jacket, sending the buttons flying. Fastened on her belly was a bomb. "Be good, boys. Move this way." She pointed at the space in front of them. 

The bodyguards were in a tight spot. It was alright if they all died here, but if Ludovica died, it was not sure how much Santino would torture their families to release his rage. Hence they could only obey for now. 

"Guns down." Shera commanded. Once they put their guns down, she emphasized, "All of them." 

No one moved, so she turned to the man beside her. "Leo, search them." 

As soon as she spoke, tens of guns landed on the ground. Shera harrumphed but didn't dare to waste time. She knew that she was only temporarily in control. 

"Go first." Leo said to her as he took out a gun and pointed to the men.
