An angry march.
12:30pm
As the plane races down the runway to take off, I realize I’ve come full
circle. I’m going back to where it started.
I close my eyes, take a deep breath, and imagine the view.
The ocean in the distance. The rows of grapes. The house on the hill. In
just a few hours, I’ll be back where I belong.
“What the—” I hear yelled out from the cockpit just as I’m lurched
forward in my seat when the plane’s brakes quickly engage.
I look out the window, watching as we skid, then go off into the grass,
but I can’t see the reason why. Maybe there was an animal or something
they didn’t want to hit?
But then I hear one of the pilots yelling about why the runway wasn’t
clear.
The flight attendant hasn’t said anything. She’s still buckled in her seat,
reading on her phone, like this is an everyday occurrence.
And it might be.
One time, when we were getting ready to land in London and our
wheels were inches from touching the ground, the plane pulled up fast and
ascended at a high rate of speed. A few moments later, the pilot came over
the speaker and told us that even though we had been given permission to
land, the runway wasn’t clear, so he would have to circle the airport a few
times, then get back in line to make our final approach.
But then I hear the pilot go, “What does that asshole think he’s doing?
He can’t just land wherever the hell he wants.”
I look out the window and find nothing out of the ordinary, so I get
unbuckled, move to a seat on the left side of the plane, and see a black
helicopter landing in the middle of the runway.
I watch as the doors open and a passenger gets out.
I blink a few times trying to figure out if who I think I see is actually
there.
It can’t be.
But it is.
Johnny is walking at a fast clip across the runway toward my plane. He
looks like a man on a mission, his gait authoritative.
Or is it more of an angry march?
Shit, he’s pissed.
At me.
The cockpit door bangs open, and the pilots come out, also looking
angry. They open the cabin door and push down the airstairs at the same
time that Johnny arrives.
“Thank you, good sirs,” he says, like they did it just for him.
The next thing I know, Johnny’s on the plane and in my face. “What the
fuck do you think you’re doing, Arrington?”
The pilot yells back at him, “That’s what we want to know!”
Johnny ignores them, his focus solely on me. “Did you really think you
could just leave without a word or explanation? We have plans!”
At this point, the pilot goes, “Whoa now, buddy. Calm down.”
And I can tell by the way he says it, he must think Johnny is some jilted
lover
