บท 523: SETTING THE STAGE

In another part of Tokyo, two people were humming along the piano ballads emanating from a small Bluetooth speaker. Their smiles were wide as they looked at each other with eyes filled with love as if they hoped to be dancing together. 

This beautiful scene in an old house was washed by the soft sunlight of the rising sun. 

Everything would have looked picturesque and perfect if the two people were not trying to create an improvised explosive device. Or perhaps, the sight was more beautiful because of their adeptness in creating their bombs. 

The man and woman cooperated as their nimble gloved fingers worked on their masterpiece. 

The cubes of explosives in the man's hands looked innocuous while the woman twisted wires with slender fingers and connected them to a timer device. Once each of them finished their part, they kissed over the explosives. 

Then, they started combining the constituent parts to finish up their bomb.
