Jacklan piloted the helicopter, circling above Tijuana with all lights switched off. They had arrived a bit early, with over four minutes remaining before the assault was to begin, so Jacklan hovered a few hundred meters above the target building, waiting for the right moment.
Gao Yang couldn't see whether Simon and his team had launched their attack. To avoid drawing attention from the ground, the aircraft hovered about a thousand meters from the side of the target building. At this distance, Gao Yang's radio was already capable of communicating with Simon.
When there were just two minutes left, Cui Bo's voice was the first to ring out in the earphones.
"The snipers are in position, with no abnormalities at the target."
After Cui Bo had reported their status, Simon's voice also came through.
"Team 2 in position, action to proceed as planned, we're moving in."
Checking the time, Gao Yang also spoke with a grave tone, "Team 1 in position, entering in one minute."
