As she plummeted through the air, Amelia reached for the handles embedded in the lining of her jacket. Her heart pounded in her chest, but she remained focused. With a sharp pull, the small parachute deployed, slowing her descent. The sudden jolt of the chute opening was both terrifying and exhilarating. She knew she was still in grave danger, but she had bought herself precious time.

Meanwhile, back in the helicopter, Richard was momentarily stunned by the sight of the parachute unfurling. Panic set in as he realized that his meticulously crafted plan had been foiled. He quickly radioed for help, trying to fabricate a story about a tragic accident. But Amelia had anticipated this too.

As she glided towards the ground, Amelia activated a small device in her pocket—a GPS tracker and emergency beacon. Within moments, her location was transmitted to her security team, who were already en route to intercept Richard and ensure her safety. They had been monitoring the situation from afar, ready to act the moment anything went wrong.
