Well, there is a dilema. There are only 4 seats available on the plane to Ireland. That means that the other 4 have to take the detour to Kenya, but both of the countries will meet up to the next one. You may choose which country you would like to go to:
IRELAND OR KENYA There is no advantage in taking either one, however, Flying to Ireland you will recieve your next missions within 1 hour, where as flying to Kenya will take 6 and half. However then flying to the next country, Ireland takes 12 hours, while Kenya 7 hours. Both adding up to 13. Ireland or Kenya? Pm me with your decision! |

They will let you go if, we send over $100,000! ... Which, we unfortunatly do not have! The hijackers, do seem to be fond of the game cricket. Maybe you can distract him, while we sneak help.
