“Um, Rees airport, this is Piper 69259. We have an emergency!”

“Well, where are they? Can they hear you?” Kate asked.

“Sometimes it takes awhile to hear if they’re in the hangar. Let me try it again.” His hands were shaking as he adjusted the radio controls and scanned the cockpit instruments.

“Hurry, we’re getting away from the airport! Where are we?”

“I dunno! We’re really screwed now, you know!”

“Are you pressing the button?” Kate asked.

“Huh?!”

“The damn button by your thumb! Don’t you have to press it to transmit? Here, give it to me, you big idiot!”

Susan walked up to the cockpit with a crazed look on her face and pointed the gun at Steve. “Stop!”

“Susan! Will you please just knock it off. Steve can’t even fly! We could crash!”

Steve picked up the mic, this time pressing the black button. “Mayday! Piper 69259 has an in-flight emergency. This is a hijacking. I repeat – a hijacking!”

“I knew I was going to kill you,” Susan said before firing the gun. The bullet hit Steve in the right shoulder.
