Chapter 10: Departure

The intercom through the plane went off. “This is Captain Forsyth speaking. I hope you enjoyed your flight on the Widow Maker; please thank and tip your stewardess on the way out. You gentlemen make sure you find whatever you were supposed to get so I can get permission to land and pick you up. I’ve heard there might be one or two hostiles down there.”

McClellan leaned over near Aslin. “Really? A hundred thousand fucking planes in the damn armed forces and they picked one called the Widow Maker to drop us off in hell with?”

Aslin smiled, raising his eyebrows twice in return. “Gives you a deep, down, warm feeling, doesn’t it?”

McClellan looked down to the new kid, still waiting to be inspected by Phelps. “Hey rookie, did you look up this type of plane? How long can they stay in the air for?”

Clare pushed up his glasses, repositioned his helmet straps, and pointed at himself. Aslin yelled down, “No. The other new guy on the team—yeah, you. Tell us something good about this plane called a Widow Maker.”

Clare yelled back, “It can stay up in the air for a very long time without needing to refuel. Chances are they will have him circling the area, trying to conserve as much jet fuel as possible so that when we are ready, we won’t have to wait around to be picked up.”

Aslin looked over at McClellan and they both decided that was better news than they were expecting to receive. Phelps walked down the line of men, looking them over, checking their harnesses, and ensuring they were good to go. Clary laughed. “Sir, do you think that you could wipe my ass for me, too, please? I’m not sure I got it all.”

Phelps reached down towards the straps that went through Clary’s legs and pulled them tight, making sure that whatever was down there would be as uncomfortable as could be for the next twenty minutes until they had the green light that they were clear to jump. Clary choked and tried to jump away from the pain. He smiled uncomfortably to Phelps. “On second thought, sir, I believe my ass to be quite clean.”

Clary reached down, loosening it back to where he was able to breath. Phelps double-checked Clare and patted them on the shoulder as he walked one last time; everything looked to be in order. The men all walked in a single file line to the edge of the plane. Clare read a report from the plane on a monitor near the exit that examined the body heat of the area below. “Sir, it doesn’t look like there is anything in that field to the south of us. If he can drop us down there we should be good to go. We can land near the edge of the tree line and take cover until the hummer makes its way down to the ground safe and sound.”

Phelps, who believed nothing until he saw it with his own eyes, stared at the readout and the picture in front of him and nodded his head.
