You are anonymously given a map for your birthday, and assume it's a joke. Until you look closely...

Map, Bomb, Run!! 🏃‍♀️(Action & adventure, YA fiction)

Four people crowd around a map. “You go this for your birthday, right?” the person on the couch asks. “Yeah, I did.” Adjusting stained glasses, the person with black hair says, “Why’d they map you? Where’d does it lead to and from?” “Yeah, I dunno” “Figure it out,” The last figure hisses. Three of them angrily leave the room. “Yeah, that didn’t make any sense,” The boy, without glasses or a nose piercing, says to himself. I don’t know why he did that; No one is in the room, weird kid. Tracing fingers along the map, He spots something familiar, if he can recall: His sofa! Desperately, he digs, hand like a worm, through the cushions. He finds it. A bomb!! Save the bank!!! There’s a bomb!!! He leaps out a window, glass clattering behind him, and he lands at his feat, bomb in toe (Not in his toes, it’s a figure of speech). Along the alleyway, he races. The bomb ticks down. Forty-five seconds remain to get this bomb outta da city, bling bling. After an eventful sprinting sequence, which I will not elaborate on because I don’t have the time, the birthday boy throws the bomb into a ditch. “Know your place, scum,” He quips as he spits.
