Stuck with him

The old lady

Claire, Jackson, the tall man who sits behind us and I, made a plan. It has to work, cause if it doesn’t, we will be dead. I don’t care if I have to die to save all of the people in this plane, but I do care if Claire and Jackson die. If anything happens to them, it will be my fault. The plan has to work.

We were waiting for the right time, to make the plan work. I knew Claire was still not okay with the plan, and I understand her completely. Nothing bad has happened to any of us in the plane, but I have seen those kind of movies were they killed everyone in the plane, because their plan didn’t work. I am just afraid.

We were sitting in our seats for hours, prying for God to save us. We were all hungry. Nothing happened at all. The man in black were walking trough the plane, checking all of us. I still have the gun in my vest. No one had seen it yet, only Claire and Jackson obviously.

“NO, PLEASE STOP. I AM SO SORRY. I REALLY THOUGHT I ALREADY GAVE IT TO YOUR MEN, I AM SO SORRY. I’M AN OLD LADY WHO FORGETS THINGS. PLEASE FORGIVE ME, I BEG YOU” An old lady screamed. A man in black dragged her to the private room where Jason is . He was holding her arms tight. The old lady tried to get free from his hold, but she couldn’t. What did she do?

“Shut the f**k up, you knew you still had your phone, because you tried to call the police.” The man said who was dragging her.

“I am so sorry, please forgive me. I just want to go to Italy to see my grandchildren” the old lady begged. I felt so sorry for the old lady. We all didn't want this. We just stepped in this plane to go to Italy and have a nice vacation or to see family, like her

“Capo, can you come here or open the door, an old lady tried calling the police” the men who dragged the lady said while he knocked on the door of the private door. I think capo means boss, because I heard the men in black calling Jason capo a several times. I was afraid of what’s going to happen to the old lady.

Jason came out of the door. Miguel whispered something in Jason’s ear. Everyone looked back to see what would happen to the old lady.

“Well, since you all are looking at us, you will al see what happens if you don’t listen.” Jason shouted. Jason grabbed his gun and pointed the gun to the head of the old lady. The lady tried to escape, but the man didn't let that happen, he held her tight. I have to do something about it. I can’t let this happened. I always hated to see people hurt, its my weakness.

I stood up.

“STOP IT JASON. YOU CAN’T HURT HER. SHE IS INNOCENT. YOU ARE THE BAD GUY HERE, NOT SHE. SHE JUST WANTS TO GET OUT OF THIS MISERY, LIKE WE ALL WANT AND GO ON A VACATION IN ITALY. WE NEVER WANTED ANY OF THIS” I screamed at him. Someone had to say it. It actually felt good to relieve my heart.

“As much as I like to hear you scream my name, you have to sit down and be quiet. I’m in charge here and you have to do as I say, because you are a prisoner like the rest. I did warned that if you keep your phone I would kill you and the people you’re with. Since she is here of her own, I only have to kill her. So sit down Teroso, or else I will have to punish you, which I wouldn’t mind at all and be quiet or your friend will suffer for your mistakes.” Jason said in a warning tone.

I immediately sat down and kept my mouth shut, I didn’t want to turn around. Seeing Jason killing that lady, would only break my heart. I hate him. How dare he to still call me teroso. I still don’t know what is means. And punishing me, is he for real. What did I do wrong? Please God, you have to save this lady. Tears were falling from my eyes

Everyone screamed from shock. I heard the shot. The sound of the shot gave me almost a hearts attack. Claire turned around and looked me in the eye. She had tears, and so had I.

“Elena, we are doing the plan now” Claire said to me.

“No Claire we won’t” I said back.

“Why not Elena, didn’t you saw what just happened. You were right, we have to stop this before things gets more shitty, there are children in this plane” Claire said.

I didn’t saw it, because I couldn’t Look. But now I’m to afraid to stick with the plan and try to save everyone. I know there are children here, but I can’t risk it. I don’t want to loose my best friend. I now know what jason is able to do and that scares me. I don’t trust him. He already warned me and threatened me with Claire twice. The first time was when I spook to him in the toilet and the second time he just did.

“Yes, I know what happened. That’s why we’re not doing it, I’m not risking your life or Jackson’s” I said to Claire.

“Fine, if you’re not in, I’m doing it myself” Claire said.

“You can’t” I said

“watch me” Claire answered. Damn it, why does she has to be so stubborn. Claire and I never listened to anyone, only to our parents. In high school, we were the trouble makers, especially Claire. I don’t want to loose her, why doesn’t she understands that. “Okay fine, I’m in” I said annoyed. “Jackson, are you ready” Claire whispered to Jackson. “Yes, I can’t stand any of this anymore ” Jackson answered whispering.

“Omg, sir are you okay? Someone please help, I think he’s having a heart attack” Claire shouted. Jackson pretended to have a heart attack, it was a part of the plan we made.

“Someone help” Claire shouts.

“OMG, she is right, he’s having a heart attack.” I shouted. Everyone in the plane looked at us. Three guards ran to Jackson.

“I- “, I c-can’t look at-t t-this, I have to throw up” I stuttered, pretending to be sick. I ran to the toilet. One guard ran behind me and came in the toilet too. Yes, the plan is working

. “Are you okay madam?” Madam? seriously. He calls me madam. He’s part of hijacking this plane and I’m one of the prisoners and he calls me madam. I guess he’s the weakest.

I grabbed the gun from my vest and point it to his head.

“Close the door and lock it” I threatened him.

“Now put you’re hands up” I always wanted to say that. He had no time to react at my action. He put his hands up like I told him.

“Now listen to me carefully, I’m going to get your phone out of your pocket and you will keep standing like this till I say you can move. After I’m done calling, you will delete it and pretend nothing happened. If you tell Jason or anyone else. I will tell Jason you helped me calling the police and gave me this gun. Am I clear?” I said serious. He nodded yes. I grabbed the phone from his jacket and called 911.

“This is 911, what is your emergency”. “I’m Elena Wilson and I’m calling from Italy. Our plane has been hijacked”
