The explosion shook the entire warehouse.
I screamed.
Dave pulled me against him.
“Get down!”
We dropped behind the metal platform as debris rained around us.
For a few seconds, all I could hear was ringing in my ears.
Then Dave's voice.
“Thea?”
I opened my eyes.
“I'm here.”
“Are you hurt?”
“No.”
He looked at my face, checking anyway.
“You're bleeding.”
I touched my forehead.
“It's just a scratch.”
“Sure?”
“Yes.”
He exhaled.
“Thank God.”
I looked around.
Smoke filled the warehouse.
Sofia was still tied to the chair.
“Dave!”
“I know.”
We ran toward her.
“Stay back!” Gabriel shouted from somewhere above.
Dave ignored him.
He cut the ropes around Sofia.
“Can you stand?”
Sofia nodded weakly.
“I think so.”
Dave helped her up.
I looked around.
“Where's Gabriel?”
