Ewan willed his heart to remain calm when he finally heard the ticking sound, a sound that couldn't possibly be a clock's because of the weight of each tick and its regularity.
He knew what it was, knew when the realization of the same flashed across Athena's eyes; became amazed when that realization shifted to a deathly calm, a mirror of his own feelings.
"So I was right. Morgan did really set a trap. Someone did inform him of our coming." Athena stated calmly, while her eyes left Ewan to search for the ticking time bomb. Hopefully, they would be able to deactivate it before it exploded.
"Where do you think it was kept?"
"I don't think that matters." Ewan uttered, even though his eyes searched too for the bomb. His right leg was already swerving to the location behind him, where he thought he was hearing the sound loudest.
"Why so?" Athena queried, already following Ewan's lead.
