Two officers sat on either side of her in the car as two more shut the doors from the outside. She could not hear them close. There was no sound. There was nothing. Her mind was numb, in shock, her brain was trying to protect itself from external sensory overload. Everything was happening too fast to comprehend.

Vaguely she was aware the car began to move. It turned and drove back down the hill until it came to the helicopter, which sat in the middle of the roadway. The car doors opened again and she was escorted out and into the waiting helo. The female officer looked at her before closing the door and mouthed the words, “I’m so sorry,” through the chop of the blades above them.

I did hear that!

“What happened?!” Allison screamed at her as the door shut.

The rotors over her head increased in speed, the aircraft lifted off the ground and took them up into the darkening sky over the city below.

Is this a dream? Helicopter…people all around me…what’s real and what isn’t?

She felt the course change as the aircraft made a turn away from Rouen.

Now what?

“Where are we going?” she yelled to the security team members seated next to her. They gave no response. She picked up a headset and shouted into the mic.

“Where are we going? My location is on top of the hill – back there!” she screamed, pointing behind her.

The pilot looked over his shoulder at his distraught passenger.

“I have orders to take you back to our studio in Paris. The network is concerned about your safety,” said the pilot’s voice across her noisy headset.

“Turn this thing around. Now! I’m not going back to Paris!”

“I have my…uh, orders, Ms. Jolie,” he said with a heavy French accent. “I have to take –“

“Screw your orders! You are taking me back to that hill! Now! Maintenant!”

She watched as he looked at his co-pilot and the two shook their heads.

“This is not a decision by a committee! It’s mine! You will turn this aircraft around!”

“We will be fired if we do what you say! We will be fired if we don’t! Your safety is what they are concerned about. Which do we choose?”

“No, you won’t. I won’t let them do that! You have my word. Trust me. Please, turn us around!”

She thought for moment, then shouted into the headset mic.

“Ask yourself this: Will I be safer in Paris tonight or in Rouen six hundred years ago?”

The pilot looked at his co-pilot again and pushed over the joystick, turning them back from where they came. He turned his head, speaking directly to her.

“This is your decision, Ms. Jolie. And I think it is the correct one. Go to our Jeanne de la Pucelle and show her sacrifice to the world. We love her and we love you for what you do.”

“Merci,” Allison said quietly into the headset mic. “Merci...”

Allison turned to the armed guard seated next her.

“Qu'est-il arrivé à mes parents?

“I speak English,” he replied. He looked to her sympathetically.
