John and Zinu reached there within ten minutes. They can see the tension in that place. Everyone was running here and there. The bomb squad was already there to diffuse the bomb. Karl and his team were trying to find the bomb along with the bomb experts. Zinu shocked to see some reporters also present there. Zinu searched for Charlie. Within a minute, she could see him, who was sending the workers to far places as soon as possible. But it was not possible to send all of them in fifteen minutes. Someone may get hurt in the process. So he was trying to find a new way so that more people could go out together.
The bomb was not found by the guards yet. They were trying to find it by bomb detector. But it was a very big factory. So it was not an easy task to find the bomb. The fire engines were also ready.
Zinu and John hirriedly entered the CCTV control room. Some policeman along with some guards were checking that day"s footage. There are only ten minutes left to blast.
Zinu looked at John. He was calm in this situation. She knew although he was calm, his mind is not calm at all. Zinu took John"s hand on her and looked at his eyes. She could see the pain in these eyes.
"John, we have no time. We have to vacate the building within ten minutes."
John said nothing. He was lost in thought.
"John. Say something. Let"s go. We must go now. "
"Zinu, please make an announcement through the guard room to the worker that they must leave the building as soon as possible. If I announce this, they would be scared. I don"t want to make them more worried. After the announcement, you come quickly to the entrance." John said and left.
She noticed a speaker in the security room. This speaker is used to communicate the orders to the workers. She took the speaker and announced.
"My dear friends. Please listen carefully. The factory became a dangerous place for you now. A bomb has planted by someone. So, you are requested to go away from this building as soon as possible. But remember one thing. At least help one of your co-worker ,when you go out,who is in your need."
All the workers panicked to hear the announcement, but then they saw John was standing near a broken wall, they got their courage back. At least in this dangerous time, their boss was with them.John called some guards to break a wall so that the workers can pa.s.s easily. Twenty guards used heavy metals to break the wall. Within two minutes it was broken. It made a wide way to go out.Zinu too joined John in the downstairs.
All the workers went out one by one and also helped them, who could not go out quickly. Within a few minutes, the building was vacant.When Charlie told them to go out quickly, they knew something happened in the factory, but they did not think that a bomb was planted.
When it was almost time, Charlie entered and called John and Zinu to go out.Karl and his team also came out from the building.
"Let"s go hubby. All the employees are now safely have gone out." Zinu pulled John and they reached outside the boundary of the building.
BANG
A loud sound echoed everywhere. The backside of the building blew out in front of their eye. The blast scattered rubble as far as a hundred metres and damaged nearby houses also. Within a minute, the surrounding changed. Everyone present there scared to see the fire surrounded the building. The firefighter was already present there. But they need two hours to extinguish the fire.
John and Zinu standing there speechless along with Charlie. The reporters wanted to interview them but stopped by Karl snd his team. Karl formed a group to investigate the matter.
The workers present there started to raise their voice for their security. In a minute they all forgot their John"s generousness towards them.
"We need to speak to the boss." Two leader type men tried to come near John but stopped by his bodyguard.
John said nothing snd left the place. Zinu snd Charlie followed him. Zinu knew that John is very upset. So she did not ask him anything. She silently got in the car and reached home.
After reaching home, she saw Mrs Smith was sitting in the living room. She was watching the incident on television and also waiting for them.
"John are you fine. Who was behind the blast?"
When Mrs. Smith saw John came in, She asked.
But John did not reply to her and left the room inattentively. Mrs Smith knew John would be worried. But she did not expect him to be that much worried that he would not even reply to her. Zinu came and sit near her. She kept one hand on her shoulder.
"Grandma. He is worried about the sudden incident. You don"t worry. He needs time to think. I will talk to him later. He will be fine after some time. "
Mrs Smith sighed.
"You are correct Zinu, my grandson is mentally very strong. I know him well. He would be fine. He only needs some mental support. And I know you will give him the needed support. "She smiled sadly at Zinu.
Zinu gave her a.s.surance and left the living room. She entered her bedroom. It was empty. She heard the water running in the bathroom.
"So, he is in the bathroom." She thought and left the room to change her clothes. When she came back to her room she expected John would be there. But, he was not . She checked the bathroom. But it was also empty. She entered the bathroom and took a short shower.
She came back to her room, but John had not returned. She searched him in the study room, Ronnie"s room and also in Mrs Smith"s room. But there was no trace of John anywhere. Now Zinu was too worried.
