"Make them scared!"

He almost had it. Jack could see now that all the bomb's pop-cultural add-ons were assembled around a functional core. The fake bomb was built around the real bomb. The meaningless beeping and ticking noises were just distractions So if he removed this panel and pried loose that false pressure gauge, then... there.

The actual bomb was fairly simple in its timing and detonation mechanisms. The timer was a digital watch, connected to the detonator by a single wire. No fail-safes, no backups, no hidden tricks. Jack peered inside, trying to look at it from different angles. It couldn't possibly be that easy, could it?
