“Sir, a part of me will always miss it.” Jayce explains, but
makes it clear that he is not thrilled about being one of the first to see what
“undead really means”.
They look at all the commotion surrounding the plane. Jayce
then questions why his unit had been picked for this mission.
“This may be the most important mission ever exercised. There
is no better unit for the job. Life, as
we know it, hangs from a frayed thread.” Stan responds.
The pilots stroll up and salute Stan and Jayce, unaware of
what the mission entails. The two return
the gesture and the pilots board the plane.
Stan extends his hand and Jayce grasps it, “Captain, you and
your men stay safe. We will be waiting
for you.”
“Yes, Sir.”
Jayce turns and walks up the cargo ramp, signaling to the flight
crew to close the plane. He takes his usual seat between Ben and Ty. One of the
flight crew members walk through the plane and opens the door to the
cockpit. It appears as if he is telling
the pilots something before he shuts the door and approaches Jayce.
“Captain, I let them know we are ready whenever they are. They
are doing their pre-flight checks and it should be about twenty minutes.”
Jayce nods and sits back into his seat.
Ty removes his ear buds from his ears and loudly asks Jayce,
“So are you going to let everyone else know what you have planned?”
