Nolan

THE LOOK ON Linnzi’s face was a mix of shock and hurt as she nodded and took a few steps back to lean against the fence once more.

Fuck. How in the hell was I going to tell her? I closed my eyes and tried not to remember that day, but it flooded back to me in a single rush.

The moment the plane hit the runway, I knew something was wrong. Very wrong.

“Linnz, hang on,” I said as I attempted to regain control of the plane.

“Nolan! Nolan!” she screamed before everything went wrong.

The landing was supposed to be routine. I’d done it a thousand times with military jets on fucking Navy ships. Hell, on this very runway. What in the hell happened?

My head was pounding as I shook it and looked to my right to see Linnzi slumped over, blood pouring from her head.

“Linz? Linz!” I screamed as I heard sirens in the distance. Then, I smelled the smoke.

Turning, I looked and saw the baby still in her car seat, but part of the plane was pushed in on her side from where we’d skidded and hit something.

“Sir! Sir!” a voice called.

“The baby!” I screamed as I fought to get my buckle undone. The door opened and someone was taking Linnzi out.

“My wife has a head wound!” I cried out as I looked over my shoulder at the paramedics removing the car seat.

“The baby!” I yelled. “Is my daughter okay? She’s only two months old!”

“Sir, let’s get you out; the plane is on fire,” a voice said from somewhere. I couldn’t take my eyes off of the paramedics as they removed Amanda from the plane.

“Sir!” the voice yelled. “Can you move?”

I nodded and managed to get the belt off before following him out. They were running with Amanda.

“Amanda!” I cried out before I looked for Linnzi.

“Linnzi?”

“Sir, over here,” another voice said as I felt someone guiding me away from the plane. My ankle felt like it was on fire, and I looked down to see if I was even walking right as we made our way over to a helicopter. Linnzi and Amanda were both being taken to the copter, and I attempted to pick up the pace. The pain was slowly ebbing, so I was pretty positive I had sprained it and not broken it.

Then, I heard it. A scream so piercing it nearly dropped me to my knees.

Linnzi!

I ran as fast as I could, and right before I got to the helicopter a firefighter stopped me.

“No! No!” Linnzi screamed. “No!”

“What the fuck is happening!?” I cried out as I tried to make my way around the firefighter. “Linnzi?”

“Nolan!” Linnzi cried out.

“Let me go!” I said as I pushed my way past. Linnzi was holding Amanda in her arms now, and she was rocking back and forth, crying.

When she lifted her eyes and looked at me, I froze. “Nolan, she’s gone! Our baby is gone! She’s gone!”

I felt my body start to fall, but two sets of arms held me up.
