'Get to Columbus Circle now run, it'll be quicker. I'll get there as soon as I can.'
Danny was staring, listening intently as his grandfather continued.
'Do whatever it takes, but you've got to make sure the two det leads are disconnected from the battery, then you have to twist the leads together. Remember everything I told you before.'
Danny nodded and turned to go.
'Wait!' said Fergus. 'You must twist the leads otherwise they become an antenna and any electricity in the air could still detonate the device. Just keep her there until I arrive. Now go!'
Danny sprinted from the room and Fergus followed. Danny was tearing down the fire escape stairs.
Fergus limped towards the elevator, his leg burning with pain. Maybe he would be lucky; maybe he could pick up a cab and get to Columbus Circle quickly.
But it looked as though saving Elena was going to be down to Danny.
