The man heaved a deep sigh as he entered the toilet room. After he was done, he looked at his watch to see the time.
(Another one hour, huh? Traveling through plane sure has its advantage over trains. Anyhow, I'm happy that this mission is worth 30,000 USD. What's nice is that the money's already been deposited in my account just a few minutes ago at the airport. Nice.)
He had already thought of how to budget the money. But, it made him wonder.
(The money is quite high, is that briefcase really valuable? I wonder. Anyway, I'll just finish this job as soon as possible, and then relax. Shall I go to the beach after?)
He opened the toilet door, and he walked swiftly to his seat. However, just as his visual periphery reached the briefcase, a blinding light flashed before his face.
It was a sensation in which time seemed frozen. When he took another step, a raging crimson flame devoured him whole. Along with it was a loud "bang" sound.
"What the heck is—."
The crimson red and yellow light glittered, as an object from the sky descended to the city. It was considered a day of disaster in Japanese history of anti-terrorism detestation. Since it was believed to be an act committed by terrorist groups, it was thought to have been maneuvered to destabilize the country. Hundreds of people had lost their lives in the city, including the passengers with zero survivors inside the plane.
