Dark as night

Chapter5

Jonah thought that the man might have been in his forties, "Hello" the man said, blowing the hair out of his eyes, his eyes were as blue as the ocean. "Hello" Jonah said cautiously, the man stepped forward and held out his hand. His hand was boney and dirty, Jonah took it, "my name's Anthony," Jonah shook his hand, "jonah." he looked at the man "are you running from somebody?" he asked. Anthony shook his head, "no, a few years ago I was on a business trip in paris when the plane hit bad weather and crashed, being the only survivor I came across this house, it's lights still worked and so did everything else, i have been here for three years with no way off because there was no more working aircraft, what's your story?" Jonah sat down in a chair and told the man his story. The man listened nodding sometimes, when Jonah finished the man got up and walked into the kitchen. "Hungry?" he asked, Jonah nodded and the man started cooking. They ate the best meal Jonah had since he left the prison. After dinner Jonah got up, "I should probably be going." Jonah started to leave. "It's okay, nobody can find you here, if they could find us, I wouldn't be on this island still." the man said. Jonah sat down "thanks" he said, "but I'm going to need a place to sleep." The man pointed to a room in the corner, Jonah went into it. It was a bedroom, Jonah walked over to the bed and layed down. He closed his eyes and went to sleep. July 3, 3030 8:15am. Jonah woke up to the smell of bacon, he walked into the kitchen and saw Anthony flipping some pancakes in a frying pan, the table was set for two with 2 cups of orange juice, in the middle of the table sat a plate of bacon. "Good morning" the man said, putting 3 pancakes on each plate, Jonah sat down and so did Anthony. As they ate breakfast Jonah spoke "do you want to get off the island?" he asked. Anthony stopped "you can do that?" he asked. Jonah nodded and motioned for Anthony to follow him. When they got to the airport, Anthony looked in amazement at the N-Shark attack jet. Jonah saw his mouth no way, Jonah got in and helped Anthony get in behind him. "Just a fair warning" Jonah said as he closed the window over them "I might be attacked, but having studied this jet, I learned that this thing has the ability to withstand the blast of a nuclear warhead." Jonah started the engine and the jet started up without a sound, silently it rose into the sky, the engine rotated and the plane flew forward. Anthony told Jonah where to go and they started to head towards the coordinates. Ten minutes later they heard the roar of an m12's engine, "uhhhmm, Jonah, we have pursuers'' Anthony said. Jonah turned around, "I told you I might be attacked," he said. The m12 opened fire and bullets bounced off the wings of the attack jet. "Hold on" Jonah said as he pulled up, the jet rose into the sky, Jonah pointed nose down. "Hang on this may be bumpy, but we will be fine. Jonah accelerated the plane and flew the jet straight into the middle of the m12, Jonah pulled up before hitting the water. Anthony watched as the m12 blew up and flaming pieces crashed into the water. "did that really just happen?" he asked. Jonah looked back, "yep, that just happened" he said, he turned back around and checked the radar, nothing. He checked the cameras, front camera, nothing, top camera, nothing, back camera, nothing, bottom camera, boats. Jonah zoomed in, stealth boats, "hey Anthony, under your seat there is a cord, can you find it?" Jonah asked. Anthony searched below the seat with his hand, within seconds he found it, "found it, what next?" Anthony asked. Jonah continued, "alright pull it" he instructed. Anthony pulled it, and a hatch on the bottom of the wings opened up, dropping bombs. "Bombs away" Jonah said as the boats blew up. After confirming that there were no more boats, Jonah picked up the radio and contacted ground control, "fairway airstrip, this is attack jet blackbird, we are about, 2.5 miles out and getting ready to land we will be using a vertical descent, is the airstrip clear?" he asked, there was a crackling over the radio. "This is fairway airstrip to attack jet blackbird you are clear to land." Jonah picked the radio back up. "One more thing we have a man on board named Anthony Gating, he has been stranded on an island for 3 years, please pick him up" he said into the radio. Jonah dropped the landing gear and began their vertical descent onto the pad. Once on the ground, Jonah opened the glass and Anthony got out. Once Anthony was out, Jonah closed the hatch, and took off. It wasn't long before he heard the sound of an m12 "ugh, can't these guys ever leave me alone?" Jonah asked himself. The sound of gunshots filled the air and jonah watched the bullets glance harmlessly off the wings and window. Jonah laughed, suddenly the radio buzzed "M12 fighter jet to attack jet" Jonah picked up the radio "this is Attack Jet Blackbird, what do you want?" he asked. The radio buzzed again, "what we want is for you to land that jet and surrender yourself so we can take you back to Artic Chill" the voice said. Jonah laughed, "and why would i want to do that?" he asked himself, he picked up the radio "I'll land a jet, but it won't be this one" he said turning the jet around, he aimed, then fired "RATATATATAT" the guns fired, within seconds the entire squadron crashed into the sea. "Well then" he said, "that's over"
