  Chapter Two

Later he woke up. Harold was asleep. Carl looked at his watch. It was midnight. He called the airhostess, “Excuse me, what time do we arrive?”

  “Eleven thirty P.M. local time, Sir. That’s about half an hour from now.”

  “Thank you.” Carl changed the time on his watch.

  “Anything else, Sir?”

  “No, I don’t think so. Oh! Wait a minute! Could I have a cup of coffee, please?”

  “Yes, of course, Sir!”

  He watched her bring the coffee. “She looks like my daughter, too.” He thought, “And she is very young. She looks nervous, not sure what to do.”

  “How long have you been at here, airhostess?” He asked.

  She smiled. “Three months, Sir.” She said.

  “Do you like it?”

  “Yes, I love it. It’s very exciting.” She smiled nervously, “Well, that’ll be, Sir.”

  “Yes, thank you.”

  “Have a nice flight.”

  He drank the coffee and started to read his newspaper. When Harold woke up, Carl showed him a page of paper. “Look, here you are.” He said. He pointed to a picture. In the middle of the picture stood Carl himself-----a short thin man with grey hair wearing a suit. Behind him on the left was Harold-----a tall strong young man like a sportsman. Both men were smiling. “That’s you and me outside the embassy,” said Carl. “We are in the news again. You can show it to you sons. You are a famous man, Harold.”

  Harold laughed. “You are the famous man, Sir. Not me.” He said, “I am just a police officer, Sir. It’s my job to take care of you. That’s a photo of you, not me.”

  “Perhaps, but your children think that you are a famous man, I’m sure. Here, take it and show it to them.”

  “OK, thanks.” Harold smiled and put the newspaper in his coat pocket. “I think I’ll have a cup of coffee, too.” He called for the airhostess, but she did not come. Harold looked surprised.

  “What’s the matter?” Carl asked.

  “The airhostess.” Harold said, “She is sitting down talking to those two men.”

  Carl looked upon and saw the young airhostess. She was sitting in the seat in the front of the plane with two young men. They looked worried and nervous. Suddenly one of the young men picked up a bag and walked into the pilot’s cabin. The other man and the airhostess followed him.

  “That’s strange!” said Carl.

  “What are they doing?”

  “I don’t know.”

  “It’s very strange.” said Harold. “I don’t like it at all.” He began to get out of his seat, but then stopped and sat down again. For one or two minutes, nothing happened. None of the other passengers moved or spoke. They had seen the young men, too. It became very quiet in the plane. A bell rang, and for a moment they could hear two voices arguing. Then the pilot spoke, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the captain speaking. Please do not be afraid. There is a change of plan. We have to land on the another airport before we finish our journey. There is no danger. We will land in fifteen minutes. Please stay in your seats and keep calm. Thank you.” Then the airhostess came out of the cabin. She looked very different now because she had a machine gun in her hand. She stood in the front of the plane and watched the passengers carefully.
