“…passenger beside Lucas has a device. It’s linked to the aircraft systems.”
“What kind of device?”
“I don’t know yet.”
“You expect me to believe that?”
“I expect you to remember what happened the last time you ignored me.”
Maya froze.
The cockpit seemed to become colder.
Eight years ago, Ethan had told her to abort.
She had refused.
Thirty-two seconds later, his jet disappeared from radar.
The official report called it catastrophic mechanical failure.
Maya had spent nearly a decade believing her decision had contributed to his d/e/@/th.
Now his voice was coming through an airliner radio.
And someone near her son had supposedly sabotaged the plane.
Captain Reeves spoke quietly.
“What do we do?”
Maya stared at the closed cockpit door.
“We act normal.”
The cabin looked almost peaceful.
That was the strangest part.
Most passengers knew something was wrong, but not how wrong.
