“ Don ’ t come any closer! ” 
 
 Lucy paused. Overkill ’ s finger hovered over the detonator, moments away from activation. “ One more step, and I activate the explosives I put on my safe house, collapsing on your lover Dan inside! ” 
 
 Overkill gave an evil grin. How does it feel, to be powerless? ” 
 
 Lucy considered the villain for a moment. “ I wouldn ’ t press that if I were you, you will regret it. ” She said, and made as if to move forward. 
 
 “ Oh now you ’ ve done it! ” Overkill screamed, and pressed the trigger. 
 
 Silence. Overkill looked in the direction of his safe house. “ I don ’ t understand it, the explosives should have blown that damn house to smithereens! ” 
 
 Lucy came forward, extending something in her hand. 
 
 “ A phone? What sort of trickery is this? ” Overkill said, uncertainty flitting across his face. 
 
 “ I thought you might want to check on your mother. She might not be doing so well. ” Lucy said, handing Overkill the phone and walking away.
