CHAPTER EIGHT

“On behalf of our crew, I’d like to welcome you to Air France Flight 139. Our flight time from Athens to Paris is . . .”

Marty only half listened to the stewardess’s speech.

The same words had already been delivered in French, which Marty spoke and understood fluently. Since she hadn’t been all that interested in what the woman had to say the first time, she instead stared out the window.

Her final glimpses of Greece grew slowly smaller as the plane climbed higher. She couldn’t be too sad to leave such a beautiful place because she was ready to be home.

She had her story to write. And being with her cousins was great for a week. But for a month? She’d lose her mind. A person could only wake to a day of drinking champagne and lounging in the sun so many times before it started to get old.

And then there was Peter. She ignored the small yearning feeling inside when she thought about him. And for some reason she had thought about him, often, while she was in Greece.

She refused to say she missed him, but she was willing to admit to herself she was looking forward to seeing him again.

Just this flight, a night in Paris, then tomorrow night, she’d be back home in the States.

Until then, she could make good use of her time in the air. Marty reached for the notebook and pen she’d stashed in the pocket of the seat in front of her prior to take-off. She could probably draft the bulk of her article before they landed.

Commotion drew her attention away from her notes as two men stood, rising from their seats, one on each side of the aisle a couple of rows in front of Marty.

The stewardess glanced from one man to the other. “I’m sorry. The pilot hasn’t turned off the seat belt sign.”

When two more people began walking up the aisle from somewhere behind Marty, one man and one woman, the stewardess repeated her warning.

Marty wouldn’t have normally thought all that much about it. Travelers broke airline rules all the time. Standing when they should sit. Leaving seat belts unbuckled. Smoking in the non-smoking section of the plane. But to see four of them at once, accompanied by the stewardess’s visibly rising agitation, sent warning bells ringing in the back of Marty’s brain.

Marty wasn’t the only one who noticed something was wrong. The flight buzzed with murmurs in various languages.

An elder passenger in a suit stood and questioned what was happening.

One of the men spat loud, angry sounding orders at the gentleman in German, who, after a concerned look at the stewardess, backed off and returned to his seat.

Marty was starting to think the four of them were all together. Not only together, but also planning something. Something she didn’t want to put a name to but couldn’t help doing so.

It couldn’t be. What were the chances that of all the flights in all the world, the plane she was on would be hijacked?

Maybe these people were just drunk.
