Chapter 7
Martin cringed. This man knew who he was. He wanted to turn around and give him a dirty look but the bodies of both the pilot and his copilot were nearby. If he moved away from the pilot's seat they could all go down and perish within the next few moments. He had to be the hero.
" Stay put for now. If anyone on the outside contacts you, let them know to give your father a call. We will negotiate only with him. If he wants you, the squeeze along with the rest of the passengers alive, he has to agree to our demands," Big Mac stated.
Martin sighed. He was trying to remain composed.
" Who should I say the message is from?,"
The larger man leered forward pressing the gun to Martin's temple.
" I'll drop you all off once he gives us the ten million and a helicopter. Between tell them the message is from Big Mac. He'll know who I am," he hissed before withdrawing the gun from Martin's temple and retreating to the back of the plane.
The radio crackled to life.
" Hello this is Carl Henderson from the FTA. May I ask who is flying the plane?," he inquired.
" Mr. Henderson, this Martin Fitzgerald. I work for the FBI. The hijackers shot the pilot and his co-pilot. I am flying the plane. One of the hijackers, his name is Big Mac he wants to only speak to Victor Fitzgerald about his demands," Martin stated.
Henderson and Martin went back and forth for a few minutes. Martin told him everything that had transpired so far. Henderson promised to get Victor online soon.
Just as Martin was disconnected, Big Mac appeared with his gun and Samantha in tow.
" She is a feisty one Martin. I can only wonder why you like her so much," Big Mac scoffed.
Martin wanted to smile if weren't for the dangerous situation they were in right now.
Big Mac pushed Samantha into the copilot's seat.
" Now you'll fly this plane where I want you to. If you try anything she'll be the next victim," he hissed.
Martin and Samantha exchanged glances.
They didn't know if they would see another tomorrow. There were regrets in their minds. Would they ever get to make things right?
Big Mac nudged Martin to break the trance.
" Stop the mushiness. Keep your eyes on the skyline. Once your father calls in we'll discuss the dealings. If he acts in a timely manner you two might just make it out alive," Big Mac declared.
While Big Mac kept his gun trained on Samantha while they waited.
Samantha looked over at Martin. His knuckles were white due to the tension from his mind and body. She wanted to reach out and grasp his hand in hers. However now was not the time. She started to pray in her mind. She just wanted a new tomorrow and she wanted to tell him how she regretted letting him walk away from her two years earlier.
