locked up but empty."
McCarter nodded and got the bus under way while Ishii
stepped off and started talking into his walkie-talkie.
"Gary?" McCarter said.
"What?" Manning was still playing the flashlight over
the bomb.
"What are the chances of defusing that bloody thing?"
McCarter rolled over the center median, barreling over
trees, scanning the building signs.
"If I had three, maybe four minutes," the Canadian said,
"it'd be a piece of cake. I'm looking at twenty-nine sec-
onds here. Find the garage." He switched off the flashlight
and walked forward. "when it goes off, there's going to
be a hell of a bang."
"Let's just hope we're not around, mate. Now see if you
can help me find that bloody parking garage."
"There." Manning pointed at a sign that had a picture
of an automobile on it.
McCarter swerved for it instantly, cutting across a line
of oncoming traffic and drawing a multitude of horn blasts.
The steel doors were closed, but provided only brief resis-




tance. They gave with smashing clangs, then the bus was
inside the building.
Leaving it rolling, McCarter said, "Go," and followed
Manning out the door. The two Phoenix Force commandos
ran hell for leather, barely clearing the hanging steel doors
when the explosives ripped the bus to pieces behind them.
The heat of the blast rolled over them as the concussive
force knocked them to the ground. McCarter covered his
head until all the debris had stopped falling.
"Cut it pretty damn close, eh?" Manning asked as he
pushed himself up. The parking garage was a disaster area.
"Any closer, mate, and we wouldn't be here talking
about it." McCarter jogged back toward the area where the
limousine had been overtaken.
Police cars filled the area. Fire trucks were arriving, as
well, and a cordon had been erected to hold back the flood
of media that had appeared.
"Anybody hurt?" McCarter asked James.
The ex-SEAL shook his head, obviously disgusted. "No.
Looks like everybody came through it okay. If you hadn't
gotten that bus off them, I doubt any of them would have
survived."
"So what's up?" McCarter asked.
James pointed at the dignitaries approaching Ishii. "Do
you recognize all those people?"
