Back in the Air

The Solar Plane was on a ribbon of Highway 101. There were no zombies, people, cars, or houses in sight. Theodore was asleep in the pilot seat as Bill watched the area around the plane like a hawk. Quiet can transform into chaos in an instant, so Bill was always careful. The road had mountains filled with sequoia trees on both sides of the road. The morning sun glimmered over the trees ushering in a new day.

The serenity was nice. The average person could soak in the beauty of the forest, not Bill. He would imagine himself cruising the timber, calculating how many square feet could be harvested from the forest. The old-growth Redwoods he had his eyeballs on were larger and more ancient than anything he had ever cut down. Not once in his life did Bill ever feel bad about cutting a tree down. You can replant trees, and the timber he cut would go off to be made into paper or houses. He had different feelings about these ancient trees. They were old and seemed to have wisdom, and it would be a shame to cut them down. There are plenty of younger trees with a shorter life span. That idea made Bill feel better.

Once Theodore was up, and they made sure the battery was charged at 100 percent, they prepped for take off. Theodore even got out and did a pre-trip inspection. Everything was good.

Theodore hopped back into the pilot chair.

“Alright, Bill. Ready to hit the road? You don’t have to take care of any business?”

“I’m good to go. Took care of that earlier.”

Theodore swiped around the tablet, and the propeller fired to life. The plane moved down the road, and once it hit 70 miles per hour, it lifted off, and they cleared the nearest mountain with plenty of room to spare.

Bill glanced out the window, enjoying the forest and looked at the river below, snaking through the mountains.

“If all goes well, we will touch down in L.A. in four hours,” Theodore said.

“When has anything ever went right?”

“You bring up a valid point, but lady luck has to swing our way sooner or later.”

“Yeah, maybe,” Bill said as he glanced in the back seat, which still had plenty of guns and ammo. “We got all the luck we need back there.”

“We don’t know what the concrete jungle in L.A. has in store for us.”

“Does your cousin James have any guns or ammo?”

“Given the current situation, it would not surprise me if he is armed, but I doubt he has a stockpile like you. He’s no connoisseur.”

“What’s the plan?”

“The tentative plan is, we fly in and land as close to his apartment building as we can, get him and fly out and make it somewhere remote and isolated to charge up after that.”

Bill ran his right hand through his beard.

“You and I both know it ain’t going to be that easy.”

“Bill, you take the controls. I’m going to call James and see how he is doing and give him a preliminary ETA.
