Christopher Smith had his cell phone plastered to his ear as he helped the rest of the crew get everyone off the plane, directing them to slide down plastic chutes. A few buses arrived for the infirm, but almost all the passengers walked.

Chris was unable to reach Jane or the boys, so he called everywhere he could think of. Finally he reached his local police department and a desk sergeant so harried that Chris was surprised the man would talk to him at all.

"Your wife was involved in a TA, yes.”

"ATA?”

"Traffic accident--sorry.”

"And is she all right? Where is she?”

"I am not at liberty to discuss this by phone, sir.”

"What are you talking about? I need to know if she's all right and, if not, what hospital she's in. And my sons. Had she picked them up? Were they in the car yet? We both know you know. Now tell me.”

"You are to call a Mr. Ira Smith. You know him?”

" "Course I know him. He's my uncle. Why do I need to call him?”

"He can tell you what you need to know.”

Chris was dialing his uncle as he and Rayford and Hattie disembarked. The driver of the last bus insisted that the crew ride with him.

Rayford refused. "I can't see passing my own passengers as they walk to the terminal. How would that look?”

Christopher said, "Suit yourself, Cap. You mind if I take him up on his offer?”

Rayford glared at him. "You're serious?”

"I don't get paid enough for this.”

"Like this was the airline's fault. Chris, you don't mean it.”

"The heck I don't. By the time you get up there you'll wish you'd ridden too.”

"I should write you up for this.”

"Millions of people disappear into thin air and I should worry about getting written up for riding instead of walking? Later, Steele.”

Only two men remained. When Jesus stood and said, "John," the masses erupted. The disciple Jesus loved knelt at the altar, and his works also showed no waste-- no hay, wood, or stubble. He was awarded all but the martyr's crown, as he was the only one of the faithful disciples who had not been put to death for his faith.

Jesus and John embraced like the old friends they were, and Jesus said, "I commend you for never denying My name before men, for writing your Gospel and the three letters that bear your name. Also for faithfully recording My revelation, chronicling the vision I bestowed upon you. You were a witness for many years as shepherd of many flocks, primarily the church at Ephesus, where you also tutored and mentored so many of those who carried on the work after the deaths of the apostles.

"Thank you for taking care of My earthly mother. Well done, good and faithful servant. Because you have been loyal and trustworthy and dependable in so many things, I will therefore make you ruler over many cities. Welcome into the joy of the Lord forever.”

"Chris, you need to get home," Uncle Ira said. "I'll be waiting for you there.
