I really do hate flying so very much.
The air whistled past my ears. My stomach felt like it was constantly falling out of the back of my body, like the most intense point of a rollercoaster ride, but I tightened my diaphragm and forced down the vomit that threatened to rise in my gullet. Weâve practiced this, I reminded myself. We just hadnât had a chance to practice as much as I would have liked.
The air was filled with dust and below us was sand. As well as my black leather Miracle Force uniform I wore a helmet with a visor to keep it all out.
Did Mute have to wear a cape? Even over the noise of the rushing air and through the helmet, I could hear it flapping around above me, strapped as I was underneath Mute in a harness. He had claimed it would help him steer somehow, but I was convinced that he just wore it for show, to look more like a superhero.
I tried to ignore the flapping of Muteâs cape and searched in the swirling browns and yellows below us as they got rapidly closer. It was hard to make anything out in the hilly landscape except sand and dirt. But then I spotted a long dark rectangle, unnaturally straight, which seemed to be moving, throwing up a cloud of dust behind.
{Thereâs the target!} I said to Mute over our telepathic link. He wouldnât have been able to hear me if I spoke with my mouth anyway.
{I see it!} said Mute in my mind.
The path of our descent shifted as he steered us towards the train telekinetically. I pushed down another wave of nausea. The single rectangle expanded into a series; I could discern the individual cars..
{Weakling, Mute.} That was Abramâs voice in my mind over the link which Mute had created. He was a long way up above us in the helicopter we had just jumped out of. It was still unnerving being spoken to telepathically at a distance, but I didnât have time to be freaked out by that now. {I want you both to remember your training. Your first live mission is now underway. I know I can count on you, boys. Iâm sure this mission will be a great success.}
{Sir yes sir!} we each chanted back in our minds.
Before we reached the train I had enough time to gulp inside my helmet and think very loudly to myself, Ok, donât mess this up.
{Iâm not going to mess this up!} said Mute. {Be quiet and let me concentrate!}
{No chatter, please,} said Abram.
Whoops, they had heard my thought. I brought my attention back to the present, back to what was immediately going on, just like Iâd practiced in training. You had to stay focused on the present when in the link or your background thoughts clogged up the lines of communication.
The train was about fifty feet below us now. Mute began to pull up and we lost some of our momentum as we tilted back a little in the air.
