Nick stood before her. He held open his arms, and she ran to him.

While they blocked the elevator door to keep it from closing, she kissed him for all she was worth. “We have to go.”

“Not you,” he said. “I’m the one they want. I want you to go into the back of these offices and put your head down.”

“What’s going to happen?”

“Not much, I hope. I got all the explosives detonated, except for the one in my uncle’s office. I had it all set up to rappel down the side of the building, but there wasn’t enough time.”

“When the bomb goes off, what happens?”

“It’s not in the right place to take down the building. There’s going to be damage on the ninth floor.”

“Where the hostages are,” she said.

The elevator dinged madly. “If they keep their heads down, they’ll be okay.”

“Let me come with you.”

He stepped into the elevator. “Stay safe. We’ll be together.”

She watched the door close and could only hope that wasn’t the last time she’d see him.
