The man in the blue coat—he has 24 seconds before he gets…
““The man in the blue coat—he has 24 seconds before he gets shot in the head on this bridge. His intention was to shoot at least one of us already, but he suspects the cold isn’t the real reason why my husband has his right hand in his jacket pocket. His plan after that was to kill each of you.” Nadia noticed two things then. The first was the slight smile on Liam’s lips as he stared down the man she knew as Chuck, her brand new camera man from New Jersey. The second was the way Chuck rocked back on his heels, preparing to run. Her mind went blank with realization for only a second before she stammered out the only thing she could think. “He’s my camera man…” she offered feebly as she watched Chuck drop 40 lbs of camera equipment on the ground and take off down the bridge without uttering a single word.””
