We have already arrived at the Yedisen, asking the central airport for permission to land.
Yes, land on lane 4,- said the airport operator.
Got it landing on lane 4,- responded our pilot, who was a bit sleepy which made me anxious that we may become big yellow mushroom.
He started lowering the aircraft slowly, then slightly increased the speed. While nearing landing, activate the landing gear(wheels). Our plane slightly shook upon landing.
Park at L4,- instructed airport operator.
Ok,- pilot responds,d then started driving towards Latth at a slow speed. As soon as he reached, he parked the plane. We all started to take out our suitcases, bags, etc.
Taking our luggages, we went to the airport, greeted by staff, with a bunch of local government employees wearing formal black suits, as well as having formal haircuts.
Welcome to Yedisen,- they started greeting me, with my assistant.
We shook hands with each other warmly.
We bought some souvenirs coupled with sweets in the duty-free zone.
As we exited the airport, a couple of cars were awaiting us. We sat inside a black Mercedes GLC 53 sedan.
As we sat, i could smell the amazing aroma of flowers, i wasn't aware of.
How was your flight, sir? asked the security deputy secretary named Navalny.
A very smooth flight, I gave him my answer.
Nice to hear,- he said
My phone started buzzing; it was a call from Tam. I answered promptly.
Ismai, l we have a big problem. Our presidential complex was hit by some RPG rocket, presumably by an FLN or mafia, 2 security guards were badly injured. He went on. I will keep in touch if I dig up more intel.- he finished the intel briefing.
Motive?- I asked.
Unknown, but maybe tried to assassinate you or me,- he added extra detail.
I opened the phone, curious whether the media outlets caught up, but to my surprise, they didn't.
Did something bad happen,- asked me Navalny
Sort of,- I answered.
Don't worry, bad things like this happen, but our banquet will wash it away,- he said smiling, even though the root problem was his boss, Yedisen president Aleksandr Fyodorov.
Thanks,- I said.
Most of our dialogue was being translated by my assistant Abdujalilov, who seemed to speak Navalny's language Yazidi language like his native Uzbek.
