It wasn’t about catching her in the blast. Not yet anyway. Christine had gone to ground and was hiding out somewhere in the city anyway. So now, it was about providing a symbol for her of what was to come, after all he had promised biblical and that was what she would get. Since her apartment block had underground secure parking he had to move the thing out into a more public venue. It wasn’t hard after he’d broken into her apartment and had her keys, everyone was too busy with the other chaos going on in the city to be too bothered about one man. He set everything up in the concrete cloisters of the garage where he could be alone and concentrate fully without worrying about being interrupted and then it was just a case of driving the thing somewhere that would get a nice public reaction and enough coverage to make sure the bitch would see it on the news, out in the open so there was no way the police could cordon it off. Parked innocently at a meter he got out, shut the door and walked away, thumbing the button to start the countdown.
When the device when off it was with a magnificent boom; a firestorm of smoke and flame exploded into the crisp Seattle air around the car’s engine block, the hood shot up, the chassis distended and buckled, the windows cracked into find spider web designs and the upholstery inside choked the fire with a horrible chemical scent as it burnt. It wasn’t long before the camera crews arrived on the scene, it didn’t take long for their stations to get the plates and grease a few palms for the owner.
At the top of the evening news the story was announced with footage of the burning wreck of a silver Audi: "The car of advertising heavy weight and Mammoth Shipping employee Christine Golding was at the centre of an explosion today, though no one was hurt in the blast and the cause remains unclear, speculation points towards the threats of one Peter Hartley. Details will follow this break."
