Salute To The General (Nathan Cross) novel Chapter 545

"All I can tell everyone is that this is an order from the army at the highest level. I believe everyone also noticed the two fighter jets escorting us," the pilot explained. "As for why the army issued such an order, none of us have any idea, either. We were told that it's a top military secret. I'd suggest everyone here keep their noses out of this. As for the tickets, the airline will issue a refund three times the original ticket price."

Since it was a top military secret, everyone kept their mouths shut. They didn't argue with the captain any longer and left the plane obediently. Some even began to gossip quietly.

"Could it be that a senior officer was on the plane as well, and that he had to return to Channing for an urgent matter?"

"You're right. Not only can he redirect the plane to Channing, but he was also even escorted by two fighter jets. He must be influential in the army."

As for Denise, she exited the plane with Queenie still in her arms.

Just like everyone else, she was looking around trying to spot that important military official.

The only thing Denise did not expect was that the person being escorted by the jets was actually the sleeping little girl with her.

A dozen black cars were parked at the airport.

Nathan held Penny's hand tightly under the setting sun with Kylie, Bennie, and Leah next to them.

Thomas Dunn and tens of bodyguards stood sternly behind the family.

When Denise got off the plane and saw that scene, her jaw dropped.

"Queenie!" Penny gasped and ran over to take her daughter away from Denise.

The little girl slowly opened her eyes and rubbed them. When she noticed she was in Penny's arms, she exclaimed, "Mama!"

Oh! My daughter!" Penny cried in joy as she hugged Queenie tightly.

Nathan walked to his wife and wrapped his arm around her waist as he smiled at Queenie. "Baby, are you okay?”

Since the little girl hadn't met her parents for a week, she was also excited to see Nathan. "Papa! I'm okay. Did I fall asleep?"

Queenie had just woken up and she had no idea she had been drugged in the car on the way to the airport.

But Kylie remembered it.
