#### Chapter 2: The Hijackers
Amir, the leader, had spent months preparing for this moment. Disguised as a regular passenger, he carried a calm exterior that belied the turmoil within. His three accomplices, each with a specific role, were ready to strike. Rashid, the tech expert, sat near the cockpit; Khalid, the muscle, was positioned centrally; and Farid, the explosives handler, was near the rear of the plane.
At Amir's signal, the men stood simultaneously. They produced weapons, concealed until now, and quickly took control of the cabin. Panic spread like wildfire among the passengers, but Amir's cold, authoritative voice demanded silence. "Ladies and gentlemen, remain calm. This plane is now under our control."
Rashid forced the pilot to change course, guiding the plane toward an undisclosed location. Khalid and Farid herded passengers into their seats, ensuring no one moved. Amir made his demands clear: the release of political prisoners and a ransom of $50 million, or they would start killing passengers.
