3 WEEKS LATER...
It was once again Monday morning and Ashley had returned from the shower rooms early that morning and changed into her flying overalls, drying her hair with her hairdryer and scraping it up into a bun.
Everyone headed into the briefing room where Jester and Viper were stood
"Good morning. Now, we've received word that there is an enemy MiG within our radar and air-space. Maverick, Goose, Turbo and Penguin, it is your job to divert them away. The rest of you, I want you on standby in your planes as a precaution. Not that it's necessary but just in case" Jester spoke
Everyone scrambled away as Maverick, Goose, Rob and Penguin raced towards their planes, firing them up and into the air.
"Okay, the MiG-28 might intercept you at any given time out in the air. Be prepared and keep contact with each other" Viper spoke through their communications
Robert, Penguin, Maverick and Goose depart from the base and up into the air. They travel out a good distance when two MiG's intercept them, diverting them from each other
"Maverick, I've lost you" Robert spoke, frantically looking around for Maverick's plane
"I'm coming around on your left" Maverick spoke. Maverick's plane roared past Robert and they both gained speed as they tried to get the MiG's off their tails and away from the air-space of the base.
A continous beeping started to sound from Rob's plane, "Shit! This asshole has me locked on missile target!" Rob shouted through the communications
"Try and divert away from the radar, or at least scramble with him" Viper spoke
The sound of a missile being fired was heard from the plane behind Rob's as the beeping grew louder and more continous. Rob moved his plane slightly to avoid the missile, causing it to hit the wing of the plane and blow the engine.
"Fuck! We're hit!" Penguin spoke
"Eject! Robert, eject!" Maverick shouted
Rob and Penguin reached up to the ejection handles and tugged on them, with nothing happening, "Its jammed!"
They kept trying to tug on the ejection handle but nothing was happening. Another missile was fired, blowing the last engine, causing the plane to start to drop below the hard-deck
"Mav... Tell Ash... Tell her I love her and I'm sorry!" Rob spoke and with that, his plane had completely dropped below the hard-deck and crashed into the mountains, exploding in front of Maverick's eyes.
The Comms left an eerie echoed around the room, as Viper and Jester stood. They had just heard Robert, talking, for what felt like the final time.
"Sir, Turbo's plane has gone offline" The radar communicator informed the two commanders
"Close the operation. Get Maverick and Goose back to base, now" Jester spoke
"Maverick, Goose. Divert your course back to base. Mission aborted. I repeat, mission aborted"
"Roger" Maverick's voice spoke. His voice becoming unsteady after his friend's brother die before his eyes.
"Mav... There's nothing we could do. Let's just get back to base" Goose spoke. Maverick reluctantly manoeuvred the plane back towards the base and away from the enemy MiG's. They touched down on the runway and Goose spotted Ashley waiting outside the hanger
"How are we supposed to tell her?" Goose asked
"I don't know..." Maverick spoke. They climbed out as Ashley walked over to them
"Where's Rob?" She asked, upon noticing her brother's plane not there
"Uh..." Goose stuttered, not knowing what to say
"Maverick? Where's my brother?" Ashley asked
"I'm sorry, Ash" Maverick spoke
"No..." Ashley mumbled
"I'm so sorry" Maverick spoke. Tears had completely taken over Ashley's eyes and she collapsed to the floor, with Maverick and Goose catching her and comforting her as she sobbed.
Viper and Jester had gathered the others into the briefing room.
"We're very sorry to inform you... but Lieutenant Robert Thompson and Lieutenant Samuel Watkins were involved in a fatal accident and have been pronounced deceased," Viper spoke, as several gasps echoed around the room, "You are all excused from training for the next few days. You're all dismissed" Viper and Jester left the room as the rest of the crew came to terms with the news.
"I have to go find Ashley..." Tom spoke to Slider. He stood up and raced out of the room. He stopped outside of Viper's office where he saw the girl, crying as she sat in the seat. She looked up and saw the blonde haired boy standing outside the window. She stood up and ran out of the room, immediately embracing Tom in a hug as she sobbed
"He's gone... Rob's gone..." Ashley spoke through the stream of tears.
"I'm so sorry, darling" Tom apologised as he held the girl in his arms, comforting her.
