Explosions
Pidge bent down beneath
the computer panel. The wiring was a mess and it took a while before
he could spot the bomb. It wasn't like anything he'd ever seen before
and he felt his gut tighten with apprehension.
Outside of the tiny access panel he
heard Hunk shifting from foot to foot in nervous aticipation. Sighting
he slide out of the cramped space. And from a sitting position he
looked up at his friend.
Hunk's features showed his impatience
as he held his arms out at him to help him to his feet. "Well?"
Pidge got to his feet and gazed past
Hunk, at Keith and Allura. Lance, who was leaning against the wall
met Pidge's gaze, and walked out. Rubbing his face he answered Hunk.
"Not good. But I still can't figure out how the sabatour got past
security. No one should have been able to plant that bomb in Red
Lion during it's maintenance check."
Keith shook his head, "If Lance's
intuition hadn't gone off... he could've been killed."
"Yah, well, here's even wores news...
Lance won't be able to fly the Red until we remove it, which, if the build
of the device is any indication it's going to be a long time before that
happens."
"Well, you and Hunk get on it.
While Allura and I find Coran and let him know."
After the two of them left, Pidge
and Hunk went to work on the lIon until Hunk's stomach growled and they
decided to break for lunch.
----------------------------------------
In the kitchen, Pidge kept his eyes
open for Lance but he was no where to be found. While Hunk stuffed
his face Pidge decided to check to see if Lance was in his room but didn't
find him and decided to return to the task of disarming the bomb.
When Hunk returned it wasn't long
before they gave Red Lion a clean bill of health, and they both began cleaning
up the mess they'd made. Pidge got so caught up in what he was doing
that he didn't hear Lance approach until he was right behind him.
"How is she?"
Pidge gave his red clad friend a toothy
smile, "She's even better than before."
Lance nodded, "What about the bomb?"
"Well we've got it contained, though
it still needs to be taken apart so that it can be..."
-------------------------------------KA - BOOM-----------------------------------------------
The palace rocked and Lance caught
Pidge, "Was that....?"
Pidge grinned sheepishly, "Yah.
But it was in a Reconbesator so the shakings all the damage it could've
done, but I wish I had been able to take it apart, it could have been fun."
"You know Pidge, sometimes I worry
about you." Was all Lance would say as he walked away shaking his
head.
