Boom

With a speed that could only have come from years of practise John Nhoj clattered his fingers across the the number board of the bomb, setting it to exactly 4:00 minutes.

 1

With a flick of his head he dodged sideways as a bullet shot rebounded off the heavy concrete wall where his head had just been. He derisively laughed at the 20 snipers waiting for him to emerge out of the relative safety of a massive fuel tank, if they shot at it they would be just as dead in the explosion that would follow as he was.

John did a quick scan around the factory room, he was at the far side looking up at the not-so-subtle snipers lined up on tanks and on the upper level of the nuclear facility.

 3

Nothing, nothing, nothing, noth- wait, there was a fashionably thin glass window looking out on the street below. As his eyes looked upwards he noticed a skylight directly above him.

 4

He flicked the bomb, accidentally moving his head too far over. Another bullet ricocheted a hair away from his ear, sending a small gust of wind over him. the bomb's pulsing red figures showed him that he had 2 minutes 30 seconds to live.

 5

His brain played various scenarios over in his head, mainly ending in his ashes being scattered all over town. But one did have some potential. A long metal bar was lying around about a metre away. He reached it quickly and with inhuman strength born of desperation twisted it into a grapplehook. Undoing a chain still caught in a crane's grasp he speedily tied the two together. The seconds were counting down in his head.

 6

Nearly blind with panic he threw it in the skylights immediate area, hoping madly that it would be a hit. Giddy with relief a tinkling of glass announced it to be so. The grappling hook fastened securely on a metal rail on the roof.

A huge, blinding explosion announced his exit.John was propelled forward by the tremendous burst of wind. He hit the ground hard. He sleepily saw bullets flying around his head and cheeping, but didn't find it strange. He collapsed into the blessed darkness, sweet unconsciousness.

Ginormous black mushroom marks the spot.
