Chapter Eight

Lily and Helen sat with the rest of their bay during a lively breakfast, each stealing glances as their minds escaped the chatter that surrounded them and took them back to moments during the night. Helen sat smirking as she recalled the 'flying' lesson that Lily had given her earlier.

“Don't you look like the cat that ate the cream?” Adrienne remarked with a raised eyebrow at Helen's expression.

“She's right. For once!” Adele added, getting a playful slap from Adrienne. “What you thinking about?” she nudged the blonde woman.

Helen's eyes locked with Lily who was sitting feigning innocence while sipping her coffee.

“Just going over my pre-flight checks in my head,” she smiled.

Lily choked on her coffee, spluttering and coughing loudly as Lucy pounded on her back.

“Ladies, finish up, we should be getting back to the airfield,” Ward said coming up to their table.

The bus trip back was filled with Adele and Adrienne relaying their bawdy versions of the WASP songs. The two women stood in the gangway announcing that they were like the Andrew Sisters only cheaper. Helen and Lily sat laughing at their friends antics, their hands planted on the space on the seat between them, their pinkies curled around each other.

Pulling their heavy leathers on, the good-natured banter continued between the Bay Four women.

“Hey, Stotty, you think that at tomorrow's game, you might try and hit a pitch?” Adrienne yelled, referring to the regular baseball game that replaced their PT sessions.

“You wanna stop throwing no balls,” Adele countered shrugging her heavy jacket into place. “Then maybe I will!”

“They're not no balls,” Adrienne snorted. “I can't help it if your head height is everyone else's waist height!”

The women laughed as Adele waddled over in her heavy leathers to swat Adrienne with her flight helmet.

“I bet you two weeks mopping, I hit a homerun Red.”

Adrienne held her hand out. “Deal. Good job you're good with a mop!” she yelled climbing up the wing of her plane.

“I ought to be, I spend enough time cleaning up your mess,” Adele shouted in return. “Happy landings ladies,” she nodded to Lily and Helen. before climbing up into her ride home.

“Happy landings,” they chorused in return.

Several hours of flying later Lily was parked in the stand completing her post flight checks, when the canopy of her plane opened.

“Did you see them?” Helen said breathlessly, still dressed in her flight leathers.

“See who?” Lily asked confused.

“The Addies, you and me were the last to go, and they're not back,” Helen replied, running a frustrated hand thought her curls. “I thought maybe you'd seen them.”

“How late are they?”

Helen stepped down the wing walkway to allow Lily to climb out of the plane, “A half hour.”

Lily frowned as she jumped down onto the ground beside Helen, “I'm sure there's a simple explanation.”

They joined Marjorie and Lucy who were sitting on the wooden benches that ran the length of the exterior of the hangar. Helen shook her head as they approached, the two sister's expressions fell as the hope that Lily may have seen them disappeared.
