Chapter 22

STORMING THE PLANE

IT WAS WELL into the early hours of the morning before Polly looked out of the window, to see that the sky was still cloaked in darkness. Suddenly, a voice broke the silence, making an announcement over the intercom.

“This is your captain speaking. Will you please fasten your seat-belts, for we will be landing shortly and if you need to use the bathroom, now is your last chance.”

Polly felt gutted that no breakfast was going to be served and decided there and then that any future travel arrangements would be made with a more hospitable airline that considered serving the passengers a hot breakfast of great importance. But leaving that aside, she was still considerably grateful to the captain for his impromptu reminder that it was everyone’s last chance to use the restroom. So she removed the seatbelt and climbed into the aisle, heading for the bathroom.

The door to the little cubicle read “Engaged.” So Polly waited out of sight for the small room to become free, for she felt that was the polite thing to do. Seconds later she heard the click of the door and peered around the corner as she waited for it to be vacated. What she saw next shocked her to the core of her being! Whatever it was that very merrily bounced down the aisle of the plane bore absolutely no resemblance to a human being. Yes, whatever this thing was—and there appeared to be many of them—it was definitely not the sort of clientele Polly expected to find traveling on a British plane to Brazil!

“Tower, come in tower. We need permission to land.”

“Request accepted, and permission granted,” came the speedy and most cheery reply. “Oh! And do have a nice day, won’t you?”

“I’ll give you a nice day if you don’t shut up,” growled the captain. “Just give me a quick update on the present situation, and then let me land this plane!” he thundered.

Polly decided that this particular captain could not possibly be a British pilot, for they were all meant to be such polite and extremely well-spoken gentlemen who would never in a million years speak to anyone in such a disgraceful tone of voice. Her worst fears were confirmed. There was definitely something very wrong!

She decided that her best bet was to sneak back to her seat, quickly grab Langdon and her other belongings, and then find somewhere safe and well out of view to hide. She had spent many years playing hide-and-seek, so she was a bit of an expert at such covert operations. Having discreetly grabbed her schoolbag from the overhead locker without being seen, she then crouched down by a window
