The ticking sound was irritating. It always is, every time. 
 
 `` Hurry up Micah, there's only a minute left before this place blows!'' My police escort informed me quite horrified. They always send in a police escort, like they're supposed to do something. The bomb squad was here first, and could n't defuse it. They could n't contain it either, since moving the bomb would detonate it. So they called me in. I've defused bombs that even the greatest expert could n't defuse. Countless times I've saved thousands of lives. I get so many thank you cards that I have a whole separate house for it. The money's good, very good, but the work's dangerous, very dangerous. 
 
 `` Micah, 30 seconds left,'' the cop said, panic rising in his voice. How did I do it? How do I defuse bombs so complicated, so evil? Quite simply... 
 
 `` Just a tad of luck,'' I said aloud, cutting a random wire which stopped the ticking. Clear relief splattered on the officer's face, as he said `` Thank you.'' 
 
 `` Do n't thank me,'' I said, `` I had no clue it would work.''
