Avoiding Armageddon

9. Avoiding Chaos

Loni's POV:

After a long, painful flight, and Jane being fixed up with her shoulder (a little loopy from the morphine) we land. We glide into an open passageway. Gate 15A. I look at the GPS that points us to gate 15A.

"Jane, how you feeling?" I ask, the nice Doctor sitting in the chair to the side of me.

"Puppies! Sifyruh tible snip..." Jane slurs.

"I'll take that as an okay," I focus on the slowing plane. The Doctor next to me types on a document, listing effects of Jane's 'surgery'.

"Paramedics needed fast, plane gliding into position. Two killed, one injured," I say into the microphone attached to my headset that connects to the flight guards.

"On our way!" someone replies.

The retractable walkway attaches onto the door of the plane and I push open the door people in white suits running through.

They salute to me, stopping, "Where are the injured?"

"In the Pilot's chambers. Two dead, one shot in the shoulder with an arrow," I report, gesturing to the doors leading to Jane.

"Yes ma'am," they run towards the doors, pulling their bags into their arms.

They come out with the pilot's and the flight attendant's bodies while one holds Jane's hand to lead her outside.

"Mah pance! Teblim blufur," Jane giggles.

"Is she going to be okay?" I ask the paramedic who holds Jane's hand.

"Thanks to your Doctor, yes she will," he smiles under his face mask. The Doctor comes out, holding his business bag with a sort of shyness.

A ringing comes from my jacket pocket. I open up my phone, putting it to my ear, "hello?"

"Loni, hey," Sam's voice comes from the other line.

I smile at the sound of his voice, "You won't believe what happened!"

"Oh really? Well you can tell us when we get there," Sam laughs.

"Wait... What?!" I gasp. Theyre coming?! They should be safe at home!

"Hey I got to go, see you in a second," he cuts me off.

"Wait! Sam!" I try to say, but the dial tone buzzes in my ear.

All the passengers walk out of the plane as if nothing happened. Jane waits down below while the paramedic checks her shoulder, the Doctor explaining what he did.

As soon as all the passengers evacuate the top floor, a portable staircase rests on the door to the bottom floor. I walk out of the plane, happy to be back in America. I shake the hands of some of the passengers who knew that I saved the plane from crashing. I walk to Jane, crouching next to her as the paramedic rubs cleaning solution on her exposed shoulder.

"Loni!" a voice comes from behind me.

"Sam! Why are you here? You should be at home, safe with Kirsty... Wait, you didn't bring her, did you?" I look at him as he kisses my forehead.

"That's not what you said earlier," he sits next to me, Kirsty behind him texting on her pink phone.

"what do you mean?" I say, but suddenly, a person screams in the background.

Sam stands up, protectively in front of me, "What was that?!"

In the distance, a paramedic's body flies backwards, an arrow through his head, "No... That's- that's impossible! Jane killed the Experiment!" I gasp. Everyone runs away screaming and shouting. As chaos builds in the crowd, I stand, only focused on one spot where the Paramedic was killed from. Suddenly, a hundred Experiments step out from the other side of the plane.

"Pilot! They came from the Middle section! As soon as the doors open, these thugs came out!" a paramedic screams into my ear.

"Jane! You said you got rid of the last one!" I yell at her.

"I did..." she slurs, her face moving to see me.

"Loni! What are those things?!" Sam yells, keeping an eye on the large army, only one corpse holding a bow and arrow. The paramedic suddenly screams and falls back next to me, an arrow through her heart. Sam grabs the gun in her pocket and starts to surge forward. Kirsty looks up from her phone, screams and hides behind me.

"Sam no!" I scream, but it's too late. He cocks the gun and shoots six of the Experiments, all of them falling back and getting back up again except one that he shot in the head. Kirsty grabs my hand, pulling me back towards to the airport.

"Sam! Get back here!" I scream out.

"Loni! We gotta go, now!" Kirsty pulls.

"But Sam and Jane!" I scream as the Doctor tries to pull Jane out from under the Paramedic's body.

"Screw this," Sam yells, putting the gun in his back pocket.

He runs back to Kirsty and I, but suddenly, his eyes grow wide. He looks down at the arrow that had gone through his heart.

"SAM!"
