Chapter 7

Cali pressed her cheek against Wings’ chest wondering how he could be so calm. She’d just crash landed the plane. Her career could be done. Who’d let her fly now? And with her passenger dead, never mind that he’d killed himself… She shuddered and clung to Wings.

He had a point though. They couldn’t stay in the plane. Not with the dead body. Surely someone would come in a few hours for them. Right? She swallowed hard, winced at her throbbing headache, and stepped away, though didn’t let go.

Wings brushed a strand of hair away from her face. “Better?”

“Yeah,” she admitted. Standing on tiptoe she brushed her lips across his. She intended the kiss to be a quick thanks. The instant her lips touched his, heat spiraled through her body. She grabbed his arm, noticing the muscles beneath her fingers and pulled him even closer. She parted her lips, needing to taste him, to surrender to him as the only thing she could count on in this moment. He cupped her hip and drew her close.

Slowly, reluctantly, he pulled back. “We should probably make sure we’re safe and figure out where we are.”

“Yeah,” she admitted and released him. “We don’t need our chutes. How about those packs?”

“Let’s leave the drinks in the cooler a bit longer. I know that’s a complete 180. If you don’t want to come back in here. I can.” He turned back to the overhead bin and pulled out one of the parachutes. “There’s nothing in the back of the plane that we need at the moment is there?”

She shook her head.

He hung the chute across the aisle where the last row of seats was, presumably to block Michel’s body. He went to the door to open it, and after several movements of shoving found it was jammed. She’d feared that when they’d landed. The hole where the wing had been ripped off might prove to be a place to exit, though it’d be tight. She watched him explore it.

When Wings had told her that Michel thought someone at the agency had paid him, wheels had started to turn in her mind. She’d originally thought this was cut and dried. Michel had been upset at getting arrested and was trying to take her down. The more she thought about the situation, the more she remembered a guy she worked with. He claimed to be a manager, but she thought he was only an assistant manager. She’d never asked because he wasn’t in her chain of command. He always bitched about how she got the prime assignments and it wasn’t fair that she had some business class clients who always asked for her and booked her by name because of her smooth flights. In a business where downtime meant lost money, it made sense that he might have someone try to sabotage her plane. But did he have enough contacts to do that? He primarily flew the northwest corner of the country, going as far south as Vegas and as far east as Kansas City.
