To murder or to escape (2) DRAFT

Chapter 14

Jaz's POV

Maddy, dr jones and I remained calm as we surveyed the room. The waitress was Amy, we knew that much. Maddy pointed a female passenger out as Vira, she had dyed her hair to blonde.

Dr jones being dr jones went along and talked to the pilot about schematics and other confusing mechanisms.
She discovered that everyone on this plane is one of Gary's many many employees.

Vira, or 'Jane' as she introduced herself, came over to us. She started talking in an American accent. We desperately try not to show her that we know who she really is as she speaks.

"So you see, that's why I'm going to Australia. I've heard it's very nice around this time of the year." She says. God I wish she would shut up.

"So you are going there for your work you say?" I ask her. She nods. Ha. Figures.

"Anyway. I thought I might talk to you, Jaz." She says and we know that she knows who we are.

The moment she pulls a gun out of her pocket everyone grabs guns and surrounds us. I swear under my breath and glare at Vira. She flips me off and glares back.

"Anyway, the moment we reach the airport, you are going to be put on another plane. We'll be sending you to New York again. That way we won't have to worry about you disrupting our plans." She explains. I can't help it. It's too tempting.

"Ooooh, are you planning a tea party?" I ask sarcastically.

"What? No." Vira says impatiently.

"So I'm not invited?" I ask.

"Shut up Jaz." Maddy warns.

"You are invited." Vira says.

"Oh goodie!" I squeal.

"Damn it Jaz, shut up!" Maddy warns.

"You are invited to your own funerals. When we Push you out the plane." Vira says happily. Ok, I should've listened to Maddy.

"Nice going Jaz!" Dr jones yells at me. Hehe hehe. Yeah.

Vira opens the plane door. A gust of wind flows through the plane. We are walked over to the door with guns in our backs.

"Jump." Vira says and gestures toward the sky.

"Haha no." Maddy says. Vira sighs.

"Fine. Push them out." She says and we are pushed out. But not before Vira accidentally knocks out a bagged parachute.

We are now hurtling through the sky, making randomised grabs for the parachute. Dr jones grabs it and slings it over her shoulder. Maddy grabs dr jones' ankles and I grab Maddy's. Dr jones pulls a string and suddenly we are floating gently down to the ocean.

"Ok so we're safe for now. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE FALL INTO THE OCEAN?" Maddy demands.

"Amy?" Dr jones asks.

"What?" Maddy asks.

"How is she going to help us?" I ask extremely confused.

"Well, she's standing on a boat below us, waving like a maniac, and is now yelling something." Dr jones says.

"JAZ MADDY DR JONES. DOWN HERE. HURRY UP." She screams. We look down and see she really is standing on a boat. Wow. Amy is really starting to scare me now.

When we're about two metres away from the boat floor, I let go of Maddy's ankles and land on the boat in a crouching position. Maddy follows me and dr jones lands my long after. She drops the parachute on to the boat and joins us.

"I have a question. How the hell did you get off a plane and on to a boat in the middle of the ocean without Vira noticing?" I ask.

"Easy. I jumped out the windscreen and parachuted on to this boat. It was working and abandoned." She explained as though it was that simple.

"Oh. Ok then." Maddy mutters.

"Why are you helping us?" I ask Amy.

"You think I'm going to let Gary win? You must be crazy." Amy says and goes to a little room to steer us home.

"Oh yes, that reminds me. Where are we?" Dr jones asks.
