Chapter 9
CC wanted to see this plane for herself, to see if Niles was telling her the truth or not. But she would have to wait till later.
"So you don't trust me?" he commented with hurt in his voice.
"Well," she shot back.
"I don't guess I would believe you either." He had a grin on his face. CC took that as an evil one.
"See there."
"Go and you'll see that I wasn't kidding with the three of you." Niles stomped in the direction of the bedroom. He turned to face CC. "Now, I'm going to take a shower."
CC gets the same taxi, which Niles didn't tell her she better hold onto till she was done talking to the young man. She sees the plane first hand. The young man dropped her off almost at the same place as Niles. She got out and stared at the plane…..
"There I got the money." Niles held out the wad of money to the man. "All 500 dollars."
"Great sir," the man dressed in a loud orange shirt with tan shorts said.
"Where did he get that? He doesn't have that kind of cash, well not on him."
"You gave it to him remember CC? You wanted him gone. You would do anything to get rid of him," David said. CC looked over at David who was standing next to her.
The plane door closed with Niles in the passenger seat or what was the passenger seat. A rear seat was behind a pilot's seat. An old timey plane, one that had just one passenger seat on it. The engine roared to life.
"They're going to take off?"
"Yes," Sweat gathered around her eyes as CC watched the plane and Niles. He waved.
"Bye my love, wait for me."
The pilot gave a thumbs up, pulled his goggles down over his eyes and waved at her.
The plane's wheels moved down the grassy, what was supposed to be the runway, plain. Then the plane was air born, well best it could be. CC watched the plane go higher and higher into the clouds then a bang, with a bright orange ball that lit up the sky. Next came the thickest black smoke that CC had ever seen in her life. She watched in horror as pieces of material, floated like confetti thrown on new years, back down.
Tears flooded her eyes.
"No….I never got to say good bye."
