A few minutes later, the crew chief next to me says, “Since the country is under quarantine, we won’t be able to announce our presence. We’ll fly in low. Our plan is to drop you off at the hospital and then hightail it out of there.”

“I’m not as worried about getting in as I am about you getting out,” I say. “Rumors before I left suggested that any aircraft that tried to leave might be shot down.”

“Well, you’re lucky we happen to be fully loaded and can handle the threat.”

“And where will you take Sophie?”

“I would assume back to the base.”

“And how long will that take?”

“At least an hour.”

“That’s too much time. Wait!” I say, suddenly remembering something Daniel told me regarding the security of the president while he attended the Olympics. “Can you land a helicopter on an aircraft carrier?”

“Of course,” the pilot says. “We can land anywhere. As long as the seas are calm and I have enough room.”

“A Navy flotilla was moved into position just off the coast of Montrovia to protect President Spear while he was attending the Olympics. And more ships were added when people started getting sick. Could you get to them faster than the base?” I ask.

“Absolutely,” the copilot replies. “Let me get on the horn and see what we can arrange.”

After a heated conversation with someone only the pilots can hear, he says, “We’ll drop you off at the hospital and take Miss Sophie out to the carrier. But we won’t be able to land.”

He then tells me the rest of the plan.

I’m given some ibuprofen to help with my injuries and the headache I have from the tranquilizer. I get unbuckled and move around a little, stretching my arms and legs and inventorying what hurts.

Which … is pretty much everything.

My knuckles are bruised. I have numerous scratches from the broken mirror glass. My ribs ache. The corner of my lip and above my eyebrow are cut, and my cheekbone is swollen.

But it feels a whole heck of a lot better than being dead.
