Turning on the PA system on the helicopter, Charlie aimed the mic to his mouth directly and shouted," Everyone in the van, listen carefully, you are being surrounded. Surrender yourselves right now, or I'll start shooting!" 1
Charlie's announcement sent shivers down the spines of the seven adults in the Iveco. 1
Gibson was on the verge of collapsing. Even if he murdered someone, why would the law enforcement use such excessive tactics to apprehend him?
His family was shaking in terror. Earlier, they were still dreaming about the wonderful trip to the

He immediately started counting down.
"Three!” 5
Inside the Iveco, Gibson's mother sobbed in a terrified manner. "Gibson, let's get off the van right now! They might really shoot us!"
Gibson hesitated.
