Chaos
assaulted her as soon as she opened the door. For a moment, just one second,
Bristol Bachmann wanted to retreat into the Jeep and shut out the sounds of
panic and terror that threatened to conjure the same emotions in her.
Her hiking boots landed on the faded
blacktop of the parking lot as she forced away memories that clustered like a
mob of shadows at the back of her mind. She shot a glance at the Minnesota
Falls Visitor Center as she moved to the back of her Jeep.
People poured out of the tourist
complex, exiting the main entrance in semiorganized fashion and then
scattering, some yelling and screaming.
Flashing lights of police squads and
fire rescue trucks painted a dizzying spectacle of color against the backdrop
of gray, cloudy sky.
She swiped her hands together, sweat dampening her palms as if
this were her first bomb threat. But symptoms like that had disappeared after
her first day with the Minneapolis Police Department’s bomb squad over two
years ago. She tried to ignore the real reason for her unusual nerves as she
opened the liftgate and reached inside to release Toby from his crate.
The seventy-five-pound black Labrador
retriever dropped out the back to the pavement of the parking lot, wriggling as
she checked his harness. She straightened the harness for his comfort, the
Phoenix K-9 Security and Detection Agency’s logo resting on both his shoulders,
along with Explosives Detection identification and a warning: Do Not Pet. Toby
panted and pranced around her, more than ready to get to work.
She snatched the fanny pack that housed
his necessities and the essential tennis ball attached to a rope. She snapped
the pack around her waist under her open windbreaker as she and Toby hurried
toward the brick-and-concrete visitor center, positioned above the famous
Minnesota Falls.
Crowds still rushed through the glass
doors at the front of the building, their faces a study in terror.
Her stomach clenched.
If there was a bomb here, as the
anonymous threat had indicated, there were a lot of people who could get hurt
if it detonated. The $42 million complex constructed last year had been built
to make Minnesota Falls a tourist destination. But today, it seemed only to
have created an easy target for maximum casualties.
The sound of water rushing over the
falls reached her ears, swishing the anxiety in her stomach. Her gaze was
pulled to the Mississippi River. She could see it clearly to the left of the
building.
The water was choppy, moving fast and
disappearing behind the building where it crashed over the Minnesota Falls Dam
with audible power.
Her pulse
ratcheted up. The water level looked higher than normal against the banks.
They’d had so much rain this spring.
If a bomb detonated here, now…
It wouldn’t. Toby would find it.
