Now.

Monday, June 29th.

In the skies above Iran.

Chung pressed tight to the interior of the plane, his eyes locked to his window, glaring out at the pale sand below. The plane was flying surprisingly low, moving now for an hour since they’d come across the smashed and smoking wreckage of what used to be Tehran. There was some frantic conversation with the men up near the front of the plane as the trajectory shifted further west. At this point Chung thought the plane had circled a few times, but he couldn’t be sure, he just knew they were shifting lower and lower. So low it was officially making him nervous.

As he watched, the plane banked slowly right, coming back around, and as it circled, he saw a sprawling village down in the desert, a wide and spread out collection of tents, huts, and other miscellaneous structures and they were flying so low, he could even see people milling around in the open areas between structures, walking around white trucks, many of them looking up into the sky, whether at them or the threats beyond, Chung wasn’t sure.

“Strap in, boys!” Bahram shouted from the front of the plane. “We’re going in for a landing!”

Chung could actually feel the plane dropping, shifting lower and lower, the distinct feeling of his stomach dropping as the aircraft approached its final landing area in the village. Even from this high angle, Chung could see a level area of desert to the north of the village, a makeshift runway of sorts, with a wooden tower perched at the near end of the flattened surface.

Bojing moved slightly, angling toward the window on the opposite side of the plane, slowly withdrawing from his devastation about his brother’s death--Sheng brutally murdered right in front of him. Huang and Tyan remained in their seats behind Chung, showing no great desire to look out the window themselves, just content to still be breathing.

Tyan leaned forward, seeing that Chung was watching him.

“What happens next?” he asked in a quiet voice, his eyes narrowed. “What do you think they will do to us here?”

Huang lifted a hand over the back of the seat and clutched Chung’s shoulder.

“You are the smart one,” he said. “We all just played along. You are the one they will really want, I don’t want to die out here, cousin. My mother and father, they are still in Beijing, they will be worried.”

Tyan lowered his face for a moment, trying to compose himself, then lifted his eyes again.

“We must be strong, Huang-Di. Stay strong. I’m here with you. We all are. We are family, and we’ll be there for each other.”

Chung nodded.

“Yes, listen to Tyan-Yu. He’s a smart one, no matter what he says. We’re not going to leave each other, okay? We are all in this together, and we’ll make sure Bahram and these others realize that.”

“Do you really think we helped do all of this?” Huang asked. “Did we help them launch weapons? That whole city… it was wiped right off the map.
