Chapter 7

Fire In The Sky

(Max's POV)

Being in the air was something Max never thought he would be doing with his life. He always thought that he would be stuck behind a desk taking care of his Lizzie and their kids. God he loved that girl so much. He knew that she loved him just as much too; he knew this because he knew that she was his soul mate. He never thought he'd find his soul mate after all the shit he put girls through but he did. She was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen and she was also a tomcat in bed! Max smiled just thinking about her.

He glanced down at the dashboard of his American F-16 Fighting Falcon, a standard U.S. fighter, which is about 14.5 m (47.5 ft) long and can weigh 14,980 kg (33,000 lb) at takeoff. And couldn't stop the goofy grin that spread across his face. Liz. Him and Liz were cuddled together and smiling like newlyweds. He wished that were the case in real life. But the reason they were so happy was because they had just found out that Liz was the top student in their class. She was so happy, and he was so proud!

He knew that things between them had started off on the wrong foot but Max knew that eventually she would be his. He was right.

Now he was currently alone. Was it the right thing to do to tell Liz that they should take a break? He knew that him being away would effect her but was it right to take away her hope by telling her to move on? He did tell her that he would come back for her. But the feeling in his gut was that he had somehow fucked up big time by sending her that letter.

He had been in the air on practice flights all day and was more than ready to be on the ground where he could relax with his buddies. They had taken a quick liking to him, the new "rookie" when he arrived over 3 months ago. He found himself kicking it at the bar every other night with his fellow air fighters.

God he missed Liz. He missed her sweet sensual lips. He missed her silky soft glossy dark hair, the way she would tuck it behind her ear whenever she was nervous. Or the way when she was angry she was quick to the punch. He missed her petite body, and the way she could send chills up his spine when she would press herself up against him. He missed it when they would just gaze into each other's eyes and forget about anything and everything else that was going on in the world around them. They didn't care.

But she wasn't here now. He had told her to move on for now and when he returned. Things would go back to normal. Everything would work out, it always did.

He needed to get his mind off of Liz. It was the end of his hard days flight work and he was going to have some fun before gravity would take control of his body once again.

"Kelly you within reach of me?" Max paged Conner Kelly, one of his best friends on the force. Conner Kelly was the all time bad boy, but he could treat his women like the queens they are.

Conner Kelly (CK) was one tall son-of-a-bitch, he looked about 6' 7 and was about 180 pounds. Dark hair like Max but with the deepest baby blues, which he used to his advantage whenever necessary. He was a major jock; he was captain of his Football and Basketball team back home.

Max met him in one of the many A.P classes that he had to attend in order to keep his place on the force. But it was at one of the big blowout luau parties that he and CK had bonded.

You see they both had a girl back home, someone special. Max has shown CK some pictures of Liz and had received a bow from him and other on lookers. They all believed Liz to be one hot babe. Of course this made Max slightly jealous that other guys might think of Liz in ways only he believed HE was allowed to think of his beauty. But then again, she was his and not theirs…

"Yea I copy that. What is it Evans?" CK answered back.

"You fallin' asleep up here Kelly or what?" Max joked.

"Well, hell I've been up since 6 this mornin' what the hell time is it now anyways?" CK asked.

"Fuckin' almost 5 p.m." Max replied angry, he was furious about how the commanders made them do 8 hour practice runs with only hour and a half breaks every 4 hours. What the hell else was there to learn? They already had the technique down flat!

"Fuck man, I hate this shit!" CK yelled back.

"Oh shut up ya bunch of pansies and lets show them a little sumthin sumthin." A female voice interrupted Max and CK's conversation.

"That you Harris?" CK barked.

"The one and only. So you guys up for some chicken?" She laughed.

Kayla Harris.

She could be a real bitch sometimes but once she gets to know you she is one cool chick. Yet what the guys really loved about her was that she never took peoples bull shit about anything.

She had the longest reddish blondish hair that she would sometimes have in funky hairstyles but always had it French braided during flight drills (where she found the time to do this, Max was clueless –he barely had time to tie his damn combat boots). And this girl had the greenest green eyes any of the guys had ever seen. Her eyes were almost hypnotizing in their own way. She ALWAYS got her way, when she wanted it, and HOW she wanted it. She was Irish and proud of it, though she had grown up in the hard part of New York she was still feminine and catty. She used to be on the Basketball, and Soccer team back at her high school. If Max weren't devoted to Liz he would UNQUESTIONABLY be on her.

"Yea extra crispy?" CK joked.

"Haha very funny Preppy Kelly." She shot back.

"I thought so Verde." CK's nickname for Kayla was the word "GREEN" in Spanish –though it was probably the ONLY word in the language that he knew.

"Oh fuck off Kelly." Kayla spat.

"Only if you come with me sweet thang." CK chuckled.

She and CK were ALWAYS on each other's asses but they got along exceptionally well considering their constant bickering.

"I'm up for it." Max chimed in.

"Good, cuz I'm coming in on your 3." She said.

Max doubled looped his aircraft to the left and came back up and in the same path as Kayla within seconds.

"Hell-oooo Bayyyyb-eh!!!" Max said coming straight for her.

"Good Luck! I'm out!" CK's voice was heard but not acknowledged because of the high concentration needed between Max and Kayla.

"Okay how we gonna do this Max?" Kayla asked, anticipation in her voice.

"I'ma go right and you go left." Max said.

"Got it. But there's one problem." Kayla laughed.

"What's that?" Max asked worried.

"If you go right and I go left I'ma smack right into you, you fuckhead!" She roared.

"Oh! Shit you're right!" Max shouted.

"I'm coming in on your 12 Max! Hurry this shit up!" She screamed.

"Okay-Okay! I'll go left and you go right!"

"I'll still hit you dumb ass!"

"SHIT!"

"Just go Right!" Kayla shouted.

"Right? My right or your right?!" Max said confused.

"You're RIGHT! Now go! NOW!" She screamed.

Max swiftly turned his jets nose to the right just 2 feet before Kayla turned to HER right. The pressure of the speed and adrenaline was high and Max let out a deep breath that he had been holding for quite some time. The speed at which they were flying was enough to send your stomach tumbling and your insides out. It was more intense than being on any rollercoaster in Great America. It was highly dangerous and HIGHLY unacceptable but they had all been on the commander's shit list anyways. And besides it was just harmless fun…

"EVANS! HARRIS! At my desk immediately!" Commander Cougar shouted insanely irritated when Max and Kayla stepped out their air fighters and bowed, receiving back pats and applause.

Things like: "Nice!", "Now those are some pilots!" & "Drinks on me guys!" Were shouted to them as they descended to their punishments. But the booze afterwards would be worth it.

Everything was good until a loud explosion was heard overhead. Max looked up to see a huge ball of fire in the sky.

"Jennings and Richter just collided!" Someone shouted.

Shit, Max hoped they were okay –but he really hoped that it wasn't a game of chicken gone wrong. Cuz then him and Kayla would REALLY be up a shit creak without a paddle.
