The persuasion was done...
"Four minutes to Edinburgh Castle Square."
The driver spoke through the in-car communication.
Charles nodded and continued to wave. He noticed the curtains of a top-floor window on a four-story building on the right flutter slightly. He instinctively took a second glance.
Major Ellis noticed the window almost simultaneously. He pressed the intercom: "'Watchtower,' check the right side, coordinates D-7, left window on the fourth floor, there's movement."
"Copy that, observing now," the sniper team responded.
The convoy continued to move forward, getting closer to the window. A hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters...
Just as the convoy was about to pass directly below the building, an incident occurred.
It wasn't from that window.
It was from the second floor of a more forward, seemingly uninhabited, dilapidated building, from a window without glass.
"Bang!"
