Sorry, You´re wrong here. The Wanted!´s target Runner is no longer in
the safehouse when he´s attacked. The Rulebook states that Runners leave
the safehouse for a fight and return to the safehouse when the fight is
over. The Cortex Bomb wouldn´t help you much unless the attacked Runner
is much much bigger than Cherry. ---Felix
