Quote from Amy Lane's "Red Fish, Dead Fish": There's things you have to remember about living with a ticking time bomb. Thing the first - just 'cause you can't hear it ticking doesn't mean the mechanism ain't a 'go'. Thing the second - just 'cause the bomb will probably not go off when you're in the room don't mean you won't get hurt. Thing the third - it's possible to control the blast. Or so I hoped. 'Cause the kid holding the gun at Alba's head was looking scared and shaky - and Sonny was looking like a dirty bomb.

So much fun to read! I love the extended simile through this passage.

Quote from "Red Fish, Dead Fish": An EXTREMELY uncomfortable half an hour later, he was hurrying to the morgue, Ellery trying to keep up at his side. Ellery's dress shoes rang sharply on the tile, and Jackson's tennies just sort of squeaked pathetically. Aces.

I love when authors take an element of the environment and use it to set a scene. This is fab.
