New Tomorrow
Chapter 5
While Martin was still chatting with Amanda, Samantha decided to get eye shades and cover her eyes. She wishes she had ear plugs too. She could not stand the way Amanda was flirting with Martin.
She just about to snooze off when, she heard a big thump. She quickly took off the shades to see Martin frozen in a leaning position in his seat and two men staring him down. A few inches below Martin's hand lay the now limp body of Amanda the flirty flight attendant.
At first she didn't know why Martin was frozen in place but then she peered over his shoulder gasped. There was a gun aimed at his neck.
It seemed like eternity before the commotion finally started.
"Please don't kill me!" a few people stammered.
The larger man raised his gun towards the ceiling and shot a few bullets.
"Shut up everyone! We won't hurt you as long as you don't get in our way!" We want you all to stay put. If anyone makes a move while I go up front, you will be dead meat!"
He turned to the thinner man that had Martin at gun point.
"Keep an eye out for anything suspicious. Shoot anyone who tries to make a move!" he ordered before heading up to the cockpit.
Samantha began to mutter a prayer. She did not want to relive the situation she went through in the bookstore four years earlier. Martin couldn't afford to get shot again. He may not make it this time and even if he did he could get addicted to drugs again.
"This is so not happening!" she thought to herself.
Her prayers for the time being seemed to be answered as the man removed the gun from Martin's shoulder and started to walk back and forth in menacing manner.
She leaned back in her seat and sighed.
She turned to Martin.
"Are you all right?" she whispered.
He nodded as he tried to restore his normal breathing pattern. He leaned down and checked on Amanda.
"Not sure about her. She has a pulse but she took a pretty bad fall," he stated.
She nodded solemnly. She didn't like Amanda but she was a human being and she could never wish anything bad on her if she had no tiffs with her.
As the man passed them again, they both realized they needed to contact someone from the office to notify the FTA. They needed to form a plan.
"We need to do something soon Martin. I just have a feeling things will get worse from here," Samantha muttered.
"Yeah so do you want to do it? I can cover you while you do it," Martin whispered.
They locked eyes and she knew what her answer would be.
"Yes it's better if I try," she whispered.
Martin shifted to cover her a bit and she took out her cell phone and started to type.
Suddenly a moment later, everyone in their cabin froze again with fear yet again. Gun shots were heard up from the cockpit.
Would they all go down in this plane to an untimely death?
