"We need to reach the helipad on the roof!" Julian commanded, grabbing Clara's coat.
They hurried out into the hallway as heavy gunfire echoed from the lobby stairs below.
Mercenaries dressed in black tactical gear pushed through the stairwell, firing suppressive rounds down the corridor.
Julian's Swiss guards returned fire, creating a defensive shield around Clara, Sarah, and Julian.
They sprinted up the spiral stairs leading to the roof helipad, where their private helicopter was idling in the cold wind.
The helicopter pilot waved them forward desperately as bullets ricocheted off the steel helipad frame.
Julian helped Clara and Sarah into the cabin first, ducking as a sniper round shattered the helicopter door window.
Julian fired three quick shots down the stairwell, forcing the attackers back before jumping into the cabin.
