acas stumbled back into the airlock as the plane jerked. “What are you doing up there?” he yelled.

“Trying to stop this thing from falling!” Elaine snapped back, grabbing the control wheel and trying once more to yank it backward but it was of no use. The thing was stuck and wasn’t going to work.

Lucas pushed off the door, heading toward the cockpit when the pilot jumped him from behind, tackling the both of them to the ground. Lucas twisted, bringing his hands up just in time to block a punch.

The jet rattled, tilting more prominently downward. Lucas‘ stomach jumped up into his throat but he could hardly focus on that now.

“Work faster, Elaine!” he said before covering his face again from another punch.

Elaine’s hands trembled so terribly she almost couldn’t focus. She jerked the control wheel to the side and the jet turned violently to the right. The cabin shook. Something was desperately long besides just jammed controls.

This thing was going down.

The pilot on top of Lucas was thrown off and into the nearest wall. Lucas got up but only to slam into the opposite wall as the craft wheeled uncontrollably to the other side. Smoke billowed out from the cockpit.

Lucas ignored it, going after the pilot once more. He slammed the man to the floor. “Fix the plane!”

“Ain’t no fixing it now,” the pilot replied, spitting blood into Lucas‘ face. “You’re screwed.”

Lucas slowly wiped the blood away from his face with his thumb. A deadly calm settled over his features. “Is that what you think?”

He leaned closer.

“You know that old saying? The captain always goes down with his ship…” Lucas practically growled out the words. His adrenaline was keeping him going right now. It wouldn’t last.

Elaine coughed again from the cockpit, waving smoke out of her face. This wasn’t working. This plane wasn’t going to go up, they needed a way off yet with how fast they were descending.

She turned and hurried out of the cockpit, coughing still. She went to the stewardess, who’d been struggling against her bindings.

“I’ve got you,” Elaine said.

“There are more–” the woman began but the jet shuddered and threw them both off balance. Elaine continued to try and get her bindings off.“—more parachutes at the back of the plane!”

“Thank goddess,” Elaine said, getting the woman up before turning to Lucas. Lucas had a white–knuckled hold on the pilot, looking about ready to strangle the man. She ran over to him.

“Lucas, we have to go!” she said, taking his arm.

He shouldered her off him. “This piece of shit has to pay!”

“We’re going to die if you stay here, come on!” Elaine grabbed his arm again and yanked him backwards. He could have easily stayed frozen in place but he allowed himself to be pulled backward.

The pilot fell to the ground, spitting blood from a split lip onto the floor before dragging himself to the airlock.

Elaine didn’t wait to watch what happened. She hauled Lucas toward the back of the jet, where the stewardess was

ying to pry open a cabinet where the other parachutes must be. Except they didn’t make it.

It was too late.

The aircrafts decent ended in a jarring impact as it hit the water. It broke the entire craft in two, shredding through the layers of the outer cabin as the nose of the plane crashed first.

The impact tore the wings from the craft next, sparks erupting across the surface. The water should have prout the smoldering in the cockpit, but the exposed electrical wires simply erupted into flames that chased the pocket through the cabin.

Elaine recalled the impact. She remembered being thrown across the aisle and how her hand left Lucas.

Then there was darkness.

There.
