THIRD PERSON

Halos manlamig na ang mga kamay ni Greece habang pinapanood si Sachal na pumasok sa pinakamalapit na capsulated cabin ng isang pasahero. The passenger inside was shocked to see her enter the door. Nanlaki ang mata ng matandang babae sa loob ng cabin nang makitang may hawak ding baril ang babaeng pumasok. Sachal pressed her index finger on her lips, signaling her to stay silent. 

She assured the old lady to stay calm and trust her before pressing the earpiece on her left ear to give instructions to Greece. "Lock the door from the first class cabin." As she commanded, he pushed the button to close the automated cabin doors. Pagsara ng pinto ay kaagad namang naalerto ang limang armadong lalaki na nagkalat sa loob first class division. 

"Chi ha chiuso quella cazzo di porta?" Singhal ng isa sa mga lalaki bago tutukan ng baril ang limang flight attendant na nakaupo sa sahig. Bakas ang takot sa mga mukha ng mga ito habang nakataas ang dalawang kamay.

[Translation: Who closed the fucking door?]

"O-only the captain c-can close the doors aside from us. . ." Sagot ng isang flight attendant. The bearded man grimaced and turned his head to the cockpit doors. 

"Arthur, quel bastardo! Pensavo che potesse gestire quei tre piloti!" He hissed.

[Translation: Arthur, that bastard! I thought he could handle those three pilots!]

Tinapik naman siya ng kasamahan niya. "Non si preoccupi di questo. Cosa possono fare? Ci sono più persone su questo volo." He assured. 

[Translation: Don't bother yourself with it. What can they do? We have more people on this flight.]

"Sì! Inoltre, i rinforzi stanno arrivando! Non dobbiamo preoccuparci di quegli idioti!" Kumunot ang noo ni Sachal sa narinig. 

[Translation: Yeah! Besides, backup is coming! We don't need to worry about those idiots!]

Backup is coming? What is that supposed to mean? Aerial backup? 

"Nat, keep your eyes on the radar if an unknown aircraft is near ours." Paalala niya bago ikasa ang AKM na hawak niya. 

"Greece, give me their position in the cabins." Utos niya rito. Greece squinted his eyes to observe them. 

For the cabin configuration of this airline, they have sixteen class cabins designed like capsules with doors where they lay down and dine, occupying two windows on the plane. 

"You're in cabin 1B. The other five are positioned 2A, 2D, 3B, and 4D. The last one was near the lavatory guarding the flight attendants." Greece kept it short. Tumango-tango ang dalaga. 

She memorized it. In the division of first-class cabins, there are only sixteen seats with four rows and four columns. The numbers represent the rows and the letters for the columns. 

"Alright, now I want you to turn off the lights every five seconds. Got it? On count of five." Sachal counted on her head. Pagtapos ng  limang segundo ay lumabas itong cabin 1B. The lights were off, mabilis niyang tinutok ang baril sa gawi ng cabin 2A kung saan may nakita siyang anino bago tuluyang mawalan ng ilaw. 

A loud bang of the gun was heard. Nagsigawan ang mga flight attendant while the armed men  was alerted. Kinasa ng mga ito ang hawak na baril habang nagmamatyag sa paligid. Before the lights turned on again, she quickly rolled to the left and positioned her gun on cabin 2D's position. The lights went dim, a sign that the lights were about to turn on again. Nagtama ang tingin nila ng lalaking nakatayo sa cabin 2D, pero bago pa man siya nito tutukan at paputukan ng baril ay naunahan na niya ito.
