/MOMENTS
Everyone already in the SUV sat in complete silence and staring at either Toby or Amanda. Happy was the only one unaware of the situation between the two and felt that it was best not to ask. The awkwardness in the car ceased when they arrived by the house where the man, Antony Stringer, lived. Cabe was the first to leave the car, forcing the others to stay put or it could frighten the man and keep him from answering their questions.
"Oh and a federal agent with a Homeland badge and the authority to arrest anyone isn't going to scare him?" replied Toby sarcastically.
He himself wasn't too keen on going after Cabe as had no intention of helping Amanda but being depressed he decided to use humour/sarcasm as a defence mechanism to hide his current emotions. Toby did this often especially in situations where Happy was talking on the phone with "Mr. Moustaches". It just made him feel better about himself even if it got on the nerves of nearly everyone. Cabe however, ignored Toby's stupid remark and closed the door behind him clearly trying to tell everyone that he was not going to put up with any nonsense and left.

The car was once more filled with the dreaded silence until Sylvester's phone begun to ring. This was not a usual experience for him as he was concerned about the radiation and felt frustrated whenever something like a phone jingle interrupted his work but since Megan became such an important figure in Sly's life, he kept his phone on him the whole time in case of an emergency call from the hospital. This time however, Sylvester was glad that it rung as he was getting very agitated by the negative vibes of his surroundings and answered it with great difficulty since his hands were shaking uncontrollably. He answered. It was Megan. His face lit up as soon as he heard her voice and immediately got out of the car in search of privacy. When he was finally alone with the sound of Megan's voice in his ear he inhaled joyfully and begun to converse with her. Megan's voice was shaky, similar to how someone might talk if they had just been crying. Sylvester straightened up in alarm and demanded to know if she was ok and what was bothering her.
"The doctor came to me after dinner and he gave me some bad news." At this point Megan stopped and begun to cry softly into Sylvester's right ear.
Sylvester didn't try to pry out any more information. He just told her that he was on his way to the hospital and hang up. He felt crushed inside. What could the bad news be? Has her condition worsened? Did she have to go for another surgery? He couldn't help to analyse every possible "bad news" scenario being a mathematician but nevertheless he stopped his train of thought and rushed back to his friends only to find the SUV empty.
A few minutes before…
Cabe stud knocking on the door and shouting threats for a whole minute. Everyone was becoming impatient until they say Cabe kicking the door and forcing himself inside. This caught everyone's attention straight away and not wanting to miss any action, they all struggled out of the car and rushed after the agent.
Inside the house was completely empty apart from one laptop carefully placed in the middle of the hall. Cabe kept hold of his gun firmly, pointing in all directions with it before calling Walter to examine the laptop and determine whose it is. Walter carefully walked towards the laptop and kneeled beside it, placing his backpack on the floor to release the weight off of his shoulders. With immense caution he begun to quickly type various codes to try and find out the purpose of the laptop being left behind. Everyone stayed quiet, barely moving apart from Toby who was observing the house and determining why something didn't seem right. As his eyes turned to focus on the laptop, Happy nudged him firmly on his left side. He screwed up his face from the pain but kept his mouth shut and looked at Happy to find out why this was the perfect time to use him as a punching bag.
"Look at that floorboard beneath Walter. It doesn't look anything like the rest because the pattern on the wood is facing north whereas all of the others are facing east."
Happy's whisper was heard by everyone and Walter stopped typing immediately. Happy pushed pass Cabe to examine the floorboard closer. Her fears were confirmed.
"It's a bomb. We have five seconds."
