take off

After the crappy breakfast was over Heim ordered the two dumb dumbs to fuel the plane before another animal comes knocking on their door. The the men just shook their heads and took off.

Ben was looking out the window of the small plane and was pondering his next move.

Twenty minutes later and the plane was ready to go. Henry had been silent the whole time. Ben walked up to Henry and asked what is wrong Henry said he had heard the dumb dumbs talking and apparently they are taking Ben to Germany the long way. Well your one of my kidnappers why are you so surprised. Ben replied, no I was hired as a private charter to a destination unknown now so I think we are both kidnapped.

I knew that I was being greedy when I accepted this job.

I still haven't been paid Henry said to himself.

Heim started to make his way back onto the plane when Henry asked him when he was going to get his money. Soon Heim said, how long before we make it to Alaska? Approximately 5 hrs Henry said but we will probably run out of fuel before that. How long before we run out of fuel Heim asked. Measuring with a ruler and a compass I can only guess 5 to 10 minutes before we hit Alaska coastline at the most Henry said. Isn't this plane amphibious Heim asked.

Yes it is but I don't see any lakes or the ocean within or time limit Henry replied.

We will be fine Heim said.

And with that the trio were off again as the plane turned around to taxi down the makeshift runway Ben jumped into another seat across from where he was sitting and as they were passing the idiot's Ben flipped both of them off, two little middle fingers raised high in the window for both of them to see. As the two men saw this they couldn't help but laugh and point at Ben.

Well I hope I never see those two again Ben whispered. It was a bumpy take off and Ben thought that the plane was going to fall apart from all the bumps. But eventually the plane gained speed and altitude and they were off again. Hours passed and eventually someone had to pee first it was Ben of course. He yelled at Henry saying he has to go but Henry pointed to a coffee can and told Ben dont fill it up, cause Henry's next to use it, Ben wasn't shy about doing his business in a coffee can, he just turned around and whipped it out and enjoyed sweet bliss as he relieved himself. But in mid stream Henry decided to play a little trick on Ben and jerk the plane around a little bit that made Ben miss and get his hand well that didn't bother Ben as he walked back to the cockpit and said your turn and threw the coffee can in in Henry's lap. Henry had fast reflexes and caught the can in mid air without spilling a drop, thanks Henry said. Hey Ben you wanna fly this thing for a minute while I go to the bathroom, sure why not it looks easy enough. Ben then sat down and was given quick instructions on how to keep the plane level. Ben was thinking if I made the plane go out of control will I survive, maybe but then there's nothing but wilderness between here and Alaska. Nope better to wait and pretend I will listen and then make my great escape. I wonder if they will make a movie of surviving the horrors of being kidnapped and the witless antics of a couple of bungling idiot's. Just then Ben got a tap on the shoulder , if you dont mind sir Henry said I would like to take over and put us on a non collision course of those mountains ahead. Ben immediately jumped out of the seat and let Henry take back the controls. Ben looked over at Heim he was passed out for the last hour and a half. Well how long do we have left Ben asked Henry looks like ten minutes of fuel left.

Well it's a good thing I used the coffee can Ben thought, where the hell is that coffee can he asked under Heims seat I thought if he needed it he could just reach under and grab it.

Then the engine began to sputter which woke Heim up and instantly realized they were as far as they could go without anymore fuel the engine died and silence filled the plane, down below a small lake could be seen and Henry aimed the plane towards the dark blue lake. Landing as smooth as a goose Henry was very proud of himself making a landing without the engine was quite a feat. As they all made a sigh of relief Ben was wondering now what's going to happen to me.
