Summary[]

Anya and Bond arrive at the clock tower

Anya and Bond arrive at the clock tower

Anya, riding on Bond's back, rushes to the clock tower. After arriving, she tries to get Bond to show her the future again so she will know when the explosion happens. However, Bond is too tired from running, so Anya tries to remember the positions of the clock hands but realizes that she cannot tell time. She decides to ask a man sitting on a bench when the clock tower bell will ring. He tells her it will ring in less than thirty minutes, so she decides they must hurry. Bond picks up the scent of Keith and drags Anya around a corner so they can hide. Keith's dog smells and spots them but does not alert Keith, who drags him back into his car. Keith then thinks about how he hopes the bomb he planted works, which Anya hears and finds the location of with her telepathy.

He then drives off before Anya rushes to where he planted the bomb. She reaches for the doorknob, but Bond barks at her to stop, reminding Anya that opening it would trigger the explosion. Anya decides to climb through a small window by the door and prepares to disarm the bomb. She realizes, however, that disarming it will not be as easy as in her cartoons, as all the wires are the same color. She notices some ketchup on a table and decides to use it to leave a warning about the bomb for Loid.

WISE finds Anya's warning

WISE finds Anya's warning

Anya and Bond leave the building before Loid and two other WISE agents arrive in a car. They climb up the stairs and find Anya's note. The older agent interprets the message as saying "NO" with an eggplant drawn below it rather than a bomb. In his rush, he decides to ignore the message and reaches for the doorknob. Anya anxiously waits outside, hoping that her warning worked. The time of the explosion arrives, and Bond's premonition returns to a future with Loid alive and well. Back in the clock tower, Loid has stopped the older agent from opening the door as he thinks the message on the door may be a warning. He uses a mirror to look through the small window by the door and sees the bomb hooked up to the door. They wonder who left the message but decide to leave as the State Security Service has also learned of this hideout and is on their way, so they will let them handle the bomb. They decide that with the SSS swarming around, they will have to give up their search for Keith and head right to where Minister Brantz is.

Brantz is informed by his secretary that he will be expected at the reception hall shortly and that there is a contingent from Ostania's foreign ministry here to escort him. He complains about not being able to go anywhere in this country without being watched by the state. The secretary explains that they are probably just worried about the terrorists, to which Brantz complains how useless WISE is not having taken care of them already. Just as he says this, a member of WISE arrives in the room.

Brantz leaves the building and is greeted by Yuri Briar, who informs him that he and two other foreign ministry workers will escort him to the conference. One of them opens a passenger door for him to get into the vehicle, but he instead gets into the driver's seat and drives off on his own. Watching from afar, Keith immediately gives chase. Meanwhile, the real Brantz is still inside the building with his secretary. Loid had come and taken his clothes as part of his disguise. Brantz complains to Handler about Loid "mugging" him, to which she explains to him that they needed his clothes so that the dog would pick up his scent.

Keith blows up WISE's car

Back on the road, Loid makes a quick right turn, catching Keith by surprise as he is driving in circles. The two other WISE agents with Loid are in another vehicle, providing information to WISE about Keith's vehicle. Loid keeps driving and starts heading towards the river, something Keith appreciates as it is away from the crowds. The WISE agents catch up with Keith, and the older agent pulls out a gun and starts shooting. However, Keith slams his car into theirs' before throwing a stick hand grenade at them, flipping over the car. The older agent messages Loid over the radio that Keith still has explosives and is coming his way.

Keith catches up to Loid's car and sees that he abandoned the vehicle. However, he sees Loid running off in the distance, so he sends his dog after him. Loid pulls out his gun to shoot at the dog, but it expertly dodges the shots. Loid continues running and uses parkour to get on top of a building. Keith is shocked by this agility, knowing that Brantz is 60 years old. The dog continues pursuing Loid, and they end up in an alleyway where Loid pulls out his gun and takes off his disguise. He apologizes to the dog for involving it in their human conflicts but states that it is time to end this before firing a shot.
