They found nothing, like Chris thought. When they'd found the building it had been empty, the bodies having been moved, which is no surprise really since it happened a month ago, but Joseph had still been disappointed and frustrated. It was a bit odd. Chris's been in a funk lately with his moods, the whole self-deprecating thing he's had going on for a while now has been spilling into other things, making him anxious and depressed. His cry on Joseph the other night helped only a little.When they'd gotten to London, it was Joseph who's mood was down. He'd been moody as fuck, snapping at Chris for things that weren't close to being his fault. Still, though, Chris had finally started feeling better, until they got on the jet.
Chris's not particularly fond of flying, though he does it a lot. He gets bored easily and there's not much room on planes and jets for him to do much of anything. Usually having someone with him makes flying better, but Joseph's the type that likes to spend his time in the air either sleeping or reading a book. Today he's chose to read a book and while Chris could very easily talk to him he's not going to. The last time he interrupted Joseph's reading, Joseph smacked him across the head.
But he's not particularly fond of flying and he's not entirely sure, but he doesn't think they're supposed to be descending at this particular moment. See, the one thing Chris does like to do when flying is watch out the window. It's calming, seeing how small things look, seeing how far away he is. And that's what he's been doing for the past fifteen minutes, but he's noticed something odd.
They've been having quite a bit of turbulence, more than what's usual for this flight, but he wasn't thinking anything of it until he noticed that the ground was slowly getting closer. He thought maybe at first it was just his mind playing tricks on him, but now that he's been paying more attention he knows he was right. They are descending and they aren't supposed to be.
âHey, why are we descending?â he asks Joseph, turning in his chair. âI thought we still had like another half hour.â
Joseph looks up, brow furrowed. âWhat?â
Gesturing out the window, Chris answers, âWe're descending. I know it's a private jet and all, but they still always make the announcement and like I said, we've still got another half hour.â
Setting the book aside, Joseph pushes himself up so he can lean over Chris to look out the window. He watches for a second before sitting back in his seat. Staring straight ahead, he says, âI see your point. You think I should go ask what's happening?â He doesn't give Chris a chance to answer before he's pushing up from his chair and saying, âI'm going to ask what's happening.â
As Joseph walks toward the front of the plane, Chris turns back toward the window, wishing like crazy they had a stewardess.
