At precisely one o'clock in the afternoon on July 27th, 2023, Richard ascended to the rooftop of Condominium Building A. The sun hung high in the sky, casting a warm and intense glow over the urban landscape of Makati. As he reached the rooftop, the distinctive thud of rotor blades slicing through the air reached his ears.
Before him stood the formidable Pave Hawk Helicopter, bearing the codename "Jolly 1." Its massive rotor spun with an authoritative hum.
The soldiers, stationed around the helipad, moved towards the door and pulled the helicopter's sliding door aside, revealing the cavernous interior of the aircraft.
Richard hopped into the helicopter and took his seat. Mark did the same and sat next to him.
Four soldiers also hopped in, taking their seats at the vacant chairs.
The Special Missions Aviator helped the two executives to strap into their seats, ensuring a snug fit of the safety harnesses.
