Studying the collar closely in the mirror, built of thick metal that wrapped seamlessly around my throat. I felt suffocated the more I stared at it, curling my fingers underneath to search for anything that would unlock it. At the base of my throat I felt a textured square, it felt like a microchip.
Lazarus wasn’t lying, there is a bomb in this collar.
In the weapons departments, there were many instances that I had to deal with bombs therefore I knew how to get out of this. If I could get the chip out without triggering the bomb, then the collar will unlock automatically.
Rummaging through Lazarus bedroom and bathroom for anything that could pry the chip out of the collar. After a solid ten minutes of nothing, I opted for the letter opener at his nightstand. The edges were still sharp, I had to be careful that I don’t apply too much pressure and accidently plunge it into my throat.
