Part 97: Wireless Massage

Captain Lee stood up coolly, his body aching but his mind clear. He lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, savoring the brief moment of calm. Officer Davis approached, and without a word, Captain Lee offered him a cigarette.

Suddenly, the stillness was broken by the urgent beeping of Officer Davis’s wireless set. He quickly answered, and a voice crackled through the speaker, filled with tension and urgency. “Hello, this is the aircraft pilot. We are pinpointing your location. We are ready to take off from here because there is a risk. Please reach the aircraft immediately.”
