Crime Scene
53 seconds until noon.
"Hi this is Kathy Philips reporting breaking news; moments earlier we reported, Detective Robert Goren who had been missing for 9 days was found. The search ended this morning where he was found over there laying in a pile on garbage here. He seems to be having some sort of psychotic episode and refuses any assistance. Wait something is happening. Peter let's get a close up."
"Get back! Get back!" yells Eames.
Eames didn't know why Goren wanted everyone away from him. It didn't makes sense.
Deakins followed Eames lead and instructed other officers to start clearing people away from Goren. He didn't know why, however he wasn't in a position to question Goren's motive either. "Get back. Get back."
Goren watched Eames in action. It ignited a flicker of hope in his mind.
The crowd was not cooperating. "Why do we need leave?' What's going on?" were the most common questions. Eames was frustrated by the lack of cooperation. Repeating the same words over and over. "There's no time for question. I'm telling you to go home. Or I'll have you arrested." Her last statement made a few of the spectators leave.
45 seconds
Deakins was over arguing with the media. "We have a right be here." Fires the reporter.
"Look you may have freedom of the press, but I have the right to arrest you for civil disobedience. Now leave."
The reporter was not done yet, "Is that a threat, detective?"
"I can make it one, and it's Captain."
The tone of Deakins voice made the reporter uneasy.
"Let's go. We can set up somewhere ELSE."
15 blocks away
15 seconds
Perez's concentration was broken when the news stopped filming his elaborate plan in action. .
"What the hell?!" he screams.
Starting the engine he curses.
Crime scene
Eames was still negotiating with the public. "You need to leave the area immediate, you're lives are in grave danger."
"Yeah right, you just want to cover up a government conspiracy." Shouts a man from the crowd.
" You're genius detective is a mental case! You just don't want the public to know!" shouts another.
Eames was tired of the blasphemy. "You think this a JOKE??!! Officers, arrest them all. And get em'out my sight!."
The handcuffs were cutting in his wrist and his breathing was becoming rigid. Goren tried to focus on something, anything. He decided to focus on his partner, he watched Eames trying to persuade the public mass to leave. From his perspective she wasn't having much luck. He wanted to scream, 'I'm wearing a bomb you idiots! It's to risky.I'm so tired.' Fading in and out of consciousness he thoughts wondered. 'I hope it's not Saturday.my mom would be so disappointed in me.Deakins' is going to be pissed that I missed work..I wonder what Elizabeth is up to.or was it Nicole?..I'm so tired.'
Turning around Eames sees Goren slouched, against the wall with his eyes closed. "Oh, no." Running to him, she yells for the EMTs.
Tearing off his shirt she sees the vest. "Oh my god.. Get out of here! Clear everyone out.. Evacuate everyone out of the nearby buildings, homes, and schools that are within 150 meters!"
"What? Why?" asks the dumbfounded EMT
"Don't think! Do it.!"
"You're so cold." Wrapping her hands around Goren's she talks to him gently. "Bobby, Bobby? Can you hear me? I'm here. I'm here. Partner."
12 blocks away
"Damn it." Swore Perez as he sat in noon traffic. In the back of his mind he knew his plan was falling apart. Tapping his fingers on the steering wheel impatiently, he turns on the news.
"It's been reported that Detective Goren has a bomb strapped his chest.."
"Fuck!" screams Perez. Quickly getting out of the van he makes his way to the crime scene.
