Who Knew My Assigned Mechanic Husband Was a Big Shot? novel Chapter 217

Seeing Danielle looking so undeniably badass, Sloane couldn't help but feel a flicker of awe.

Once upon a time, she had fantasized about becoming a fierce, tactical female soldier, but life had simply never presented her with the opportunity.

Climbing aboard, Sloane asked Danielle, "You're injured. Why aren't you resting?"

Beneath the dark sunglasses, the corner of Danielle's mouth ticked upward into a smirk. "Flying this bird is resting for me. Sitting in a chair and flicking some switches? Compared to real combat training, this is a vacation."

Sloane replied flatly, "Well then, I hope you manage to keep our entire flight crew safe."

Danielle mirrored her tone with a smile. "You don't need to worry your pretty head about that. If I'm sitting in this seat, it means I passed medical clearance."

Zoe leaned in and whispered in Sloane's ear, "She's so arrogant."

Sloane whispered back, "She has the skills to back it up."

The training commenced.

The flight medical team instructor was Captain Grant.

Once everyone's headsets were on, Captain Grant's voice crackled through the comms inside the cabin:

"Today's simulation is a capsized fishing vessel in the South Sea. There are three targets in the water. One has suspected traumatic brain injury, and two are at high risk for multiple fractures. Medical team, prep your triage kits and vacuum splints."

Sloane and the other trainees immediately jumped into action, rapidly inspecting the contents of their trauma bags: portable monitors, tourniquets, cervical collars, vacuum splints...

In the cockpit, Danielle was flying single-handedly, using her good arm on the cyclic stick while her injured arm casually rested. Suddenly, the helicopter banked violently to the left.

Caught off guard, Sloane dropped her trauma bag, scattering medical supplies all over the deck.

Sloane instinctively glared at Danielle in the cockpit.

She did that on purpose!

"Keep the aircraft stable, and make sure your safety harnesses are locked!" Captain Grant yelled over the comms.

The drill resumed.
