Chapter 4

Shit! What is going to happen?

" Calm down! We need to think of something!" Aloy gestured his hand to calm us. " How can you be so calmed in such situation?" I raised my eyebrow. " He is right! If our mind isn't calm, we are ought to make the situation far even worse than this!" Dani agreed with Aloy.

Kishan snapped his fingers, " I think I have a solution to this! We lied as if there is someone birthday on this plane so that he will just forget about us acting weird and after all a random birthday on the plane is rare to find nowadays,". " That is a great idea but how do we know whose birthday is it?" Melissa asked curiously. " We just pick the person who sat on the same row or infront of him," Kishan answered. " So we going to sing a happy birthday and give that person a cake?" Aloy frown. 

Kishan nods.

" Then let's do it!" I clapped my hands.

Kishan took a cake out from the refrigerator. Luckily we have replenished them before we take off. I stood by the phone and waited for the cake to be loaded onto the cart. As soon Kishan pushed the cart out, I picked up the phone and sang the 'Happy Birthday' song and as I do that, Melissa followed Kishan from the back. I could hear Dani clapped her hands and sang along. The passengers joined along the fun. Kishan then came to a stop and carried the cake in his hand. The cake was given to an old man who is bald and wore a green jacket. He looked surprised and puzzled at the same time. The suspected man who sat behind the old man, smiled and wished him as well. As soon the song came to an end, Melissa and Kishan walked back to the cabin crew.

We gave ourself a light high 5 and it seems the situation is now under control.

" Now what?" I asked them.

" We shall call the cop right now and get them standby at the airport so that once we touchdown, the man has nowhere to run. How is that?" Aloy suggested. " I like that!" Melissa supported Aloy plan. " Yes, we should do that!" Kishan nod. " What about the girl?" I asked curiously. " The authorities will know what to do! All we need is to get the man to the checkpoint," Aloy said. "Ok. So what should we do know?" I questioned. " We just need the situation to be as calmed as possible so the suspect won't notice anything and the police will have an easy job to get him arrested," Kishan answered.

" Ok! At least this is a much safer plan," I agreed with it. " I will inform the pilots about it and they will radio to the station to inform NYPD about the situation," Kishan informed us.

He left for the cockpit and gave a knock. He informed the pilots and nod upon hearing it.Their concern was that he might have a bomb with him and we need to make sure the suspects have nothing explosive or we will explode before we can even land. Kishan understood what was told and closed the pilot cockpit as soon he steps out from it.

" Remember, don't act weird! Stay calm for one hour!" Kishan said.

'Ding' a ring was called from 11A where the suspect sat. We gulped and wondered why he had called?

Author's note:

  Are you aware that 3,287 people are sold or kidnapped and forced into slavery every day? Not many people are. That's 136 an hour and that's just the reported cases. Are you aware that most of these are children and most of them are sold repeatedly for sex? Again, it's a little-known fact but it's real and it's happening all around us -- even here in the US.

"When I see the migrant workers broken bodies and eyes without hope, I want to embrace and wipe away their fears. It makes me angry and helps me to keep fighting the oppressive system."
