"What's the delay?" -An old and overweight man was peeking through the hatch of an airplane, the aircraft was black and relatively small, indicating that it was a private jet, the person looks both ways, seeing how the airport vehicles began to step aside to let the plane pass.

"Please close any door that may be open and secure it properly." A robotic voice comes from the cockpit where the pilots normally would be, but since this was an autonomus aircraft, and the pilots had not arrived in time for the rushed takeoff, it was decided to leave without them.

"Yeah, yeah ... Shut up and hurry up" -The man closes the door and returns to his seat, fastening his seatbelt and looking out the window uneasily as the jet left the hangar, everything seemed calm, there were only workers from the airport and several other planes on that foggy cloudy day.- "When do we leave?"

A screen was displayed in front of the man showing the silhouette of an airplane on a runway with a phrase below that said "10 minutes remaining"

"The established warm-up lap will be done before launching, thanks for flying with your private Asira Jet"

The man adjusts his misaligned suit as he grabs his briefcase in remarkable haste, opening it while looking out the window, he was certainly in a hurry to leave that place.

"Damn Dimdelt ..." -The man grabs a phone from inside the briefcase and dials a number, calling someone- "Mary ... it's me"

"Mister Koren?" -From the phone a female voice could be heard, it sounded as if it was surprised-

"Don't say that on the phone" -Koren spoke quickly- "Listen, I don't have much time ..."

"One or more signals have been detected coming from inside the ship, please change your phone to airplane mode or turn it off to continue with the takeoff" -Again, the robotic voice of the plane appeared, in addition, the silhouettes of the screen went from green to red.

"I'm about to leave the city, they have threatened me, and I am sure that its the same group that murdered Dimdelt" -The screen illuminates the man's face with its red lights. - "You know what to do in these cases, stay calm, and don't mention me"

"Understood, Mr. Koren" -The voice answers and Koren hangs up the call, the plane was still moving but couldn't take off until the phone was turned off.

"I knew I should have had my men to put a microphone on Dimdelt's house ... He exposed himself too much" -Koren then looks out the window as he prepares to turn off the phone ... However, it starts ringing again.

"What are you doing? Mary?" -The man attends, angry- "Don't call me, you already know what you should do in these cases, avoid all contact with me ... Besides, this piece of junk wont take off until I turn off this..."

"I'm not your secretary ..." -Suddenly, a male voice appears from the phone- "... Don't hang up, or there will be consequences"

"W-Who are you?" -The man moves the phone away from his ear, looking at it and seeing that he was called by an "Unknown" number.

"Keep looking in the briefcase, I understand that that briefcase was always hidden in case you decided to run away from the city, but I left something important inside it, and I need you to find it to understand the situation you are in" -The voice spoke with total serenity and seriousness.

"Why are you doing this? Do you think I'm a Dimdelt partner?" -Koren receives no response, starting to search the briefcase and finding an envelope at the bottom of this- "... Did you leave an envelope?"

"That's right, open it and I assure you that all your questions will be answered, you will know who I am and why I do this"

Koren slowly opens the envelope and takes a photo from inside, peering at it and, in terror, throwing it to the floor.
