Chapter 3

The Crash!

            “ Is it ready Omar?”

            “Yes, the EMP is ready for detonation Boris, but I am dubious this device will work.”

            “It will work Omar don’t you worry.”

            “When we shoot down Air Force One, Omar, we will have accomplished our ultimate goal.”

            “You are right Boris, this will work.”

                        *            *            *            *

            I was so excited that I got my new Ipod that I woke up to downloaded two seasons of my favorite show, Lost.  It’s finally time to get on the plane.  My flight came at five in the morning right on time I was worried because a giant storm was coming and thought my flight might be delayed.  Kayley was sitting right next to me.  She was shaking with excitement and fear as we took off because she is probably afraid of air travel, although she would never tell me. 

            “ Jeez Kayley I’m sure they took all the necessary precautions for our flight.”

            “It’s just I was watching the news at eleven and a hijacking attempt was foiled.  I’m surprised our flight was not delayed.”

            “Well look how tranquil it is here, there is no terrorists on this flight.”

            “I guess,” said Kayley.  I could tell she was not convinced and did not assent with me.  I went back to watching Lost on my Ipod.  Soon after, the flight attendant came and asked about drinks I asked for a Coke.   Kayley asked for some Ginger Ale.  In a couple of minutes, the attendant came back and gave us our drinks.

            In the seat across from me, Tyrone and Nolan were both watching the onboard movie.  I leaned over and asked how they were doing.  They both said they were fine but Tyrone’s face was pale, and I could tell he was feeling sick.  Too bad that we were still ten hours out from New York.

            “Rachelle, are we almost there?” Kayley asked me.

            “No Kayley.  We are not even over the Rockies yet.”

            “Come on, I want to go shopping.”

            I started laughing and I knew Kayley was feeling better because she immediately began to smile.  Then the flight attendant came over the radio and told us to buckle up, because we were hitting a trifle of turbulence when we were going over the Rockies.

            “Dang it! I had to go to the bathroom!” exclaimed Kayley.  Kayley then asked a flight attendant and she said go quickly so Kayley ran to the bathroom.  I then went back to my Ipod.

            *            *            *            *

            “Omar how long until it is over us.”

            “About 18 minutes Boris.”

            “Okay, so we strike at nine seventeen.”

            *            *            *            *

“Kayley I can’t believe my stupid Ipod keeps coming to the time screen.”

            “Well, what time is it Rachelle,”

“It’s nine fifteen.”

*            *            *            *

            “It’s time Omar.  Set off the EMP.”

            “Yes Boris.”  Omar went over and hit the button and a flash of light went off.

            “Well Boris it’s done.”

            *            *            *            *

            The lights soon went off on the plane and we started to fall, I could feel it as we went down.  Everyone including became to shriek in terror of the imminent crash.  I became to breath heavily and thought of Kayley stuck in the bathroom.  Then I thought of all my family I would never see again.  Then as I was thinking of how short my life was, and everything went black.

            *            *            *            *

“Omar, you idiot that was not Air Force One! Air Force One is bigger.  That was a passenger plane.”

            “I’m sorry Boris I got bad information.  It won’t happen again.”

            “You’re right it won’t.  Kill him and dispose of the body, Mark.”
