Tim's appearance in the afternoon didn't affect Nathan, Penny, Queenie, and Kylie's mood at all.
In the evening, they decided to head over to Horton's most famous beach.
They had a great time by the beach and they tried all sorts of Horton's local delicacies as well.
Finally, they had enough and decided to call it a day around eleven at night The exhausted bunch made their way to the parking lot as they were about to return to their hotel.
Colin and the Elite Eight were nowhere to be seen throughout the time Nathan spent with his family.
However, they showed up out of nowhere when Nathan and his family were about to leave. They were there to escort Nathan and his family home.
Quinten, who had a black suitcase with him, made his way over to their ride in advance once they reached the parking lot.
However, as soon as he approached Nathan's car, the black suitcase rang nonstop.
Quinten's expression changed immediately. He alerted Nathan and Colin to stop walking, "Something's wrong. Stay right where you are."
Penny, who had Queenie in between her arms, and Kylie were confused and taken aback by Quinten's words.
Suddenly, Nathan knitted his eyebrows. Colin and the remaining Elite Eight had their guards up.
In fact, the black suitcase Quinten had with him was a safety gadget used to protect important personnel.
The bullet-proof suitcase had been equipped with a built-in GPS. There were also a gun, bomb detectors, and all kinds of tools inside.
As of now, the bomb detector in the black suitcase had detected a bomb nearby.
Hence, the sirens was triggered due to the presence of the bomb.
Nathan and others were quite a distance away from Quinten. Therefore, Quinten got down on his knees carefully to diagnose their car.
Soon, he reached over and found a timed bomb at the bottom of Nathan's vehicle.
As one of Nathan's personal National Guard. Quinten was a skilled explosive ordinance disposal specialist.
With a dagger, Quinten severed the connection of a particular wire immediately. He managed to disarm the bomb and solve the crisis immediately.
Quinten turned around and assured Nathan, "Sir, I have removed the bomb."
When everyone thought that was the end of the crisis, Colin noticed a suspicious figure on the balcony from afar.
He yelled as he realized they must be up to something, "Suspicious figure detected at three o'clock direction. Protect Mr. Cross and his family at once!"
As soon as Colin delivered his instruction, the Elite Eight surrounded Nathan and his family. They got in the way and shielded them with their body. At the same time, they reached for their guns.
