The interactive map is now fully uploaded to the system; the two dots on

                   the map, resembling the targets, are currently inside the castle and appear red
                   points with two luminous blue circles around them. He casts a glance at his

                   wristwatch for the fifth time this hour, an almost compulsive act. It’s a habit that

                   he got while starting out in the PET. He always enjoyed the craftsmanship of real
                   watches, and would rather use that than his phone. The luminescent numbers on

                   his newly acquired Tag Heuer shows him time; it’s 9.30pm.

                   Attack From Above



                   If he makes his move fast, he can get unseen to one of the guardhouses before
                   crossing the bridge over the moat that leads into the castle and lake. Under the

                   shelter of a guardhouse, he will be able to form an overview of the current
                   situation. It's dark around the castle and the bridge - thankfully. It won’t be

                   impossible for anyone to spot him, but very, very hard; he takes the chance.

                          From the back seat, he pulls out his thick, dark down jacket, which he
                   places on the seat next to him, then takes his bulletproof vest and puts it over his

                   sky-blue pullover, and then finally, he fits his handgun in his belt around his

                   waist, and his other guns are well-hidden in the jacket one under each armpit. He
                   gets out of the car, closes and locks the car door. Put the jacket on and zips up to

                   the neck. Slightly bent forward, he begins to walk back down Sophie Brahe's

                   street, towards the harbour and castle. As he reaches the street corner he is out
                   of sight of the guests standing outside in front of the restaurant. He picks up the

                   pace and his gait becomes a run, and through the layer of snow that increases

                   second by second. He jogs past the parking area where during the day there are
                   cars and tourist buses with visitors to the castle and the nearby Food Hall.

                   Further through a thick layer of snow that has settled on the open grass area
                   along the path system that leads to the moat itself. Arriving at the first
