We'll be over there maybe () ten minutes

Now, Boston is full of zombie-like people.
Mr. Ricardi, the manager of the inn where the refugee-company were staying at made up his mind to remain at the inn, even though the rest were leaving the inn in search of a more secure district.
The expedition party is going next door to start with, to the Metropolitan Cafe to get some food.

"Yes," Clay said. He squeezed Mr. Ricardi's thin shoulder. The desk clerk flinched, then stood firm. "You're all right. I didn't think you were, but I was wrong."
"I hope I do my best," the bald man said stiffly. "Just remember?"
"We'll remember," Tom said. "And we'll be over there maybe ten minutes. If anything goes wrong over here, you give a shout."
"All right." But Clay didn't think he would.
<From "CELL" by Stephen King>
I think "in/ after" is implied before "ten minutes."
So, I'd like to know if I can omit "after" before time-adverbial-phrase.
Thank you in advance for your help.
