How did I get into this line of work? I've got a tangle of wire that looks like rainbow spaghetti... enough plastic explosive to blow this Minnesota boy halfway home… and a jury-rigged cooking timer that says I’m twenty seconds away from finding out if the guy who built this bomb is an amateur or a pro.

I’d rather be skiing. I’d rather be skating on a frozen lake back home. Red or Blue? Ten more seconds. They always make this part look so easy on TV…

Take a deep breath and pick one. Blue’s always been a good color for me…
