Joseph "Joe" Hardy glared at the assassin who had killed Iola. His fiancéé, his love, and the only woman he had true feelings for. Longing to kill him, but he couldn't since he was tied to a post with a bomb strapped to him, he glanced at his brother, Franklin "Frank" tied next to him, Chief of Police Ezra Collig, some police officers, Ned Nickerson, Kevin Knightly, Darren Fortune, Chester "Chet" Morton, Allen "Biff" Hooper, Philip "Phil" Cohen, Tony Prito, Samuel "Sam" Sylvester, Georgia "George" Fayne, Elizabeth "Bess" Marvin and Vanessa Bender, all tied to posts with bombs strapped to them in one line. Their fates were in the hands of the "Boss", who lead this whole group, and at the press of the button in his hand and the bombs would blow. "Boss" lifted his hand, and just as he was about to press the fatal thing that would end their lives, something extraordinary happened.

Throwing knives flew threw the air, cutting the ropes, and defusing the bombs at the same time.
