At three in the morning, Song Heping rushed back from the Sesu Border, and the five-person team quickly assembled.
Besides Song Heping, Jiang Feng, and Ferrari, Collins was also there along with the opposition officer Abdul — an Army Lieutenant who spoke fluent French and English.
"Remember, from now on, we are the BBC West Africa field report team."
Song Heping distributed the fake documents.
"I am producer Michael Song, Jiang Feng is photographer Jack Jiang, Ferrari is reporter Antonio Rossi, Abdul is our local guide, and Collins is the technician."
Jiang Feng flipped through the documents and whistled, "These don't look fake."
"BBC belongs to the British, so these props are real."
Song Heping checked the Glock 19 pistol, tucked it into the custom-made camera bag compartment. "Everyone just carry a pistol and two magazines, travel light."
"Just this much ammo, will it work?" Abdul was obviously surprised.
"Is there any security or guards at the radio station?"
