The Fourth Angel

A London-bound AM Air Boeing 747-200 makes an unscheduled stop in Limassol, Cyprus due to mechanical trouble. The hijackers of the August 15th Movement seize control and demand $50,000,000 from the U.S. State Department within one hour, threatening everyone on board. Tensions rise as passengers realize the gravity of the threat.

The hijackers release the women and children first, but an attempted evacuation triggers chaos and a blast inside the cabin. Maria and Joanne are shot by the hijackers, and Julia dies in flames while the catastrophe unfolds. The death toll climbs to fifteen as fear spreads among the survivors.

Loyvek and Maldic make a clean getaway with the $50 million, slipping away amid the confusion after the aircraft is thrown into disarray. The other passengers and crew are left to grapple with the aftermath and the loss of life onboard. The hijacking ends with the attackers leaving Cyprus with the money.

Back in London, Jack discovers that Loyvek and Maldic were captured but secretly released and deported with no charges. He is furious that killers walk free and that the legal avenues for justice are limited. Grief drives him to seek alternatives beyond the official channels.

Jack contacts Henry Davidson, a CIA contact at the American Embassy in London, seeking guidance. Davidson explains that the system offers little recourse for bringing the culprits to account through official means. The bureaucratic dead ends push Jack toward taking matters into his own hands.

Driven by grief and resolve, Jack teams up with Kate Stockton, an ex-intelligence operative. Together they begin to track anyone connected to Loyvek and Maldic and plan to turn their own weapons against them. Their alliance broadens the scope of the hunt beyond official capabilities.

A shadowy FBI liaison, Jules Bernard, trails Jack as he moves across Europe. At first she appears to be obstructive, but her cautious cooperation gradually lends credibility to the pursuit. The dynamic adds an extra layer of tension to the investigation.

Jack's pursuit leads to the elimination of Maldic, one of the hijackers. He then discovers that Henry Davidson is the true architect behind the hijacking, aiming to pocket the ransom. The discovery reframes the mission from personal revenge to exposing a wider conspiracy.

With Jules's cautious cooperation, Jack confronts the broader conspiracy that reached beyond the hijacking. The revelation shifts his focus to bringing Loyvek and Davidson to account, not just avenging his family. The pursuit becomes a fight for justice for all victims.

Jack wages a personal vendetta not only for his family but for all victims in Cyprus. He remains determined to track Loyvek and Davidson to the end, unwilling to let the case rest. His resolve underscores the cost of grief and the drive for accountability.

The story closes with Jack pressing forward, undeterred by setbacks. His ongoing pursuit hints at future confrontations and the unresolved quest for justice in a world where accountability can be elusive. The personal cost of grief continues to mold his path.
