When the bomb was removed from the child's body, Capone felt the weight in his arms lift instantly. He felt as if he were floating on clouds, overwhelmed with joy and relief.
He rushed out of the car, holding the child tightly, stumbling a bit as his feet hit the ground. It was only then that he realized his legs were completely numb from being compressed for so long.
Sophia had been waiting outside for them, her face covered in tears. She ran over and tightly embraced her regained child.
Then, she too fell into Capone's arms, and the three of them embraced, as if this moment was the whole world.
"Mommy, sob... Don't cry!" Laura had finally recovered from the fear, but her mom was holding her so tightly, sandwiched between her and the comforting uncle, that she could hardly breathe.
She wanted to be with her mom, but shouldn't they be laughing and happy right now?
"Okay, Mommy's not crying, baby. Mommy was just scared, thinking she'd never see you two again."
