Chapter 34: Bombs

"Did you agree to stop the trade?" Aurora asked the president. "You have to agree."

If he refused, and these bombs went off in a building where Ter was, Aurora might never find out what happened to her. If she was even still alive.

"Yes, I did, but they claim not to trust me. I know fanatics. They want to detonate that bomb."

Aurora turned to Balthazar. "You can find the bomb, right? You said your technology is way more advanced than ours."

"It will be done." The connection was severed, and Balthazar stood still. Aurora didn't move, she knew he was talking to his fellow cyborgs and didn't want to interrupt. She'd been playing with the idea of brokering a truce between the president and Balthazar. Get them to agree to coexist in peace. This bomb would destroy any hope of peace.

Balthazar turned to her. "We found it."

"So fast?" Their technology was even more advanced than she'd realized.
