Chapter Twelve
Carl fell his broken tooth with his tongue. The door of the captain’s cabin1 was open, and he could see the bearded hijacker2 sitting inside. He had a long nose and dark hair. His eyes looked green from the light of the instruments in the dark cabin. He held his gun near his mouth, and touched it gently with his lips3 as he waited. Carl had heard half the conservation4. Eight of the minutes had gone. Now he could do nothing. He felt afraid. He could feel his hand in the handcuff shaking. Harold felt, too, and held Carl’s hand with his own. “Don’t worry, Mr Sandburg.” Harold whispered5, “We’ll get out of here.”
“Perhaps” Carl answered, “and perhaps not, but I don’t want these murderers6 to go free.”
“Sh!” Harold whispered.
Carl looked up and saw the girl watching them. Then suddenly the bearded man shouted, “They’re coming, look! Get ready!”
The girl went into the captain’s cabin. Harold and Carl stood up and looked through the window. They saw three men pushing some steps across the tarmac. The men put the steps outside the plane door, and then went back again. Then two more men came out of the building. They were wearing bright yellow coats because of the rain. One man walked towards the plane.
“Come away from the door! Quick!” The girl unlocked7 handcuffs and pushed Harold and Carl back to their seats. Then she started to open the door.
“Wait! Turn the lights out, and step back from the door.” said the bearded man, “They will try to shoot us in the light from the door.”
The door opened, and the man in yellow coat came into the plane. He was thin with very short hair. The girl shut the door and the lights came on, and the man shut his eyes in the bright light. The girl and the bearded man put their arms around him laughing, “Free! You are free now, brother. And the other one, is he safe? Came into the cabin. Let’s talk!”
Carl and Harold watched sadly, “So now she will give them what they want because of me.” said Carl quietly, “We will be safe. The day will be free to bomb another plane because of me.” He held his head in his hands.
“Wait! Mr Sandburg” said Harold. “Your wife isn’t stupid, you know? This game has not ended yet. Sit still and be ready!”
The other passengers sat quietly waiting to be free.
