“What kind of plane is that?” I study the mustard-yellow one-seater that taxis along the lake toward us. It looks like a brightly painted fighter plane, with the little pilot hatch on the top.

“A Fire Boss.” Jonah watches its approach while standing on a float. “They use them to fight forest fires. The pilots fly down low over a lake, slurp up a bunch of water into the floats, and then dump it on the fire from above. It’s pretty cool.” Jonah’s words don’t match his flat voice and grim face. Whatever he found under that engine panel had him cursing Bart, Alaska Wild’s mechanic.

The silence drags as we wait.

“So, how bad is it?” I finally dare ask.

“Don’t know yet. I need to get Toby here.”

The yellow plane stops twenty feet away, and Jonah tightens his grip as the subtle waves rock us. The hatch pops open and a bald man waves. “Not havin’ a great day, are ya!”

You have no idea.

“Thanks for comin’, Sam,” Jonah hollers.

“No problem. You need a ride outta here? I can come back with another plane, but it’ll be a bit. Or I’ve got a friend not too far away I can call.”

“Either would be much appreciated.”

“Lemme get a hold of my friend. Probably faster.”

Jonah gently thumps his fist against the fuselage. “I’ll start tyin’ him up.”
