The dense snowfall makes it virtually impossible for him to see what is
going on, but he can still sense that there are now two helicopters hovering over
the castle.
“It’s the Danish police. Stop the operation immediately! Put down the
helicopter!” Another figure dangles in the air and is then hoisted up into. Again,
the police voice echoes out over the castle. The whole of Kronborg is now bathed
in extreme light from the two helicopters, and mixed in with the heavy snowfall;
it is now impossible then bright white light. The sound of a machine-gun a bangs
out, so it resonates through the old walls. Then two more rounds are fired. Tom
tries to take aim without being able to see much.
There is a boom like in a bomb explosion, then a huge flash of light
illuminating the sky; he gets a glimpse of the two helicopters, one of which is
now bathed in flames. He can see the other one is on its way away from the scene
at high speed, towards the coast. His phone vibrates in his pocket but he ignores
it. He just stands paralyzed watching the whole thing in disbelief. The big fireball
in the sky has begun to rotate around itself while going downwards, fast.
Petrified, he sees the scenario. A voice from far away, might be in his head,

behind him. He throws himself flat on the ground, on his stomach with both
hands over his head and his face down in the snow. A sound of broken glass and
thousands metal pieces being torn apart on top of the explosion. Fragments of
the shattered aircraft hit his body as they are escaping their former home. The
helicopter has crashed halfway into the moat, like a giant bomb its’ lying on its
head, and might explode again. Tom can see it as he gradually lifts his head up off
the ground.
Up again. He races as fast as he can away from the burning wreck and
over the open entrance heading towards the Food Hall before the helicopter
explodes. There is a ripping deep droning sound, glass shattering, a huge flame
shooting out of one of the Food Hall's ten meter high and ten meter wide
panoramic windows on the first floor. The heat and impact can be felt within a
