CHAPTER 51: THE CHRONOS UPDRAFT

Wham!The floor of the cabin jerked up hard and I was thrown sideways against the seat. The metal frame made a sound like a big can being crushed and the whole plane pitched forward."Sierra! Hold on!" Christian yelled, his boots sliding across the floor as he grabbed me. He pushed his back against the wall. Stopped me and Leo from hitting the front of the plane. "Marcus! The controls are not working! Help Deborah use the controls!""The pressure is dropping to zero!" Marcus shouted from the cockpit his face all strained. His big hands were white as he tried to use the levers. "Deborah pull the trim! Pull it hard!""I am pulling,. It will not let go!" Deborah shouted back her thin arms shaking as she fought the steering wheel. Outside the cracked window the sky was spinning in a wheel of clouds and sunlight. "The signal is not coming from the ground Christian! It is right under our tail! It is making a vacuum!"Beep-beep-beep-beep!Leo let out a cry on my lap. The light on his pump wa

CHAPTER 52: THE ZURICH CONVERGENCE

Screeech!The plane hit something in the air. The floor was covered in sparks. The front of the plane was shaking hard. It sounded like it was going to break"Sierra crawl! Get behind the bulkhead!" Christian yelled. He used his body to shield me and Leo. He grabbed a seat to keep us from falling. His face was scared."Marcus! The drag is pulling our tail down! We’re losing airspeed!"

If his heart kept beating that fast it would get hurt bad."It’s harvesting him!" I screamed. I was holding Leo tight. My leg was still numb. I was trying to move. "The machine didn't crash into the water to destroy itself! It used the wreck

CHAPTER 53: THE ATLANTIC UNDERCURRENT

Gasp!A cold salty wave splashed over my face. It burned my eyes. Made me choke on the bitter Atlantic water. I coughed hard my chest hurting as I kicked my right leg with all my might. I held Leo above the foamy water my fingers gripping the heavy wet green wool blanket tightly."Sierra! Kick! Keep your head up!" Christian yelled through the wind. He was splashing towards me from away his long arms moving fast through the dark gray waves as he pulled the yellow inflated rubber survival raft behind him. His face was a picture of panic his dark hair stuck to his forehead as the freezing sea spray hurt his eyes. "Don't look down Sierra! Just look at me!"It was hard not to look down.Under the oily green water right under my numb left foot the big matte-black disc of the Chronos drone was rising. Its smooth hull didn't make any bubbles as it hovered two feet below my boots. The big round camera lens in its center glowed with a white light that stared straight up at my sons chest. It spu
