Chapter Thirteen
Helen Sandburg sat by the control room window staring at the plane. “Come on!” she said, “Why is that door shut? Where are the passengers?”
“The hijackers won’t set them free.” said inspector 1 Holm, “I told you, Prime 2 Minister, this is a serious mistake.”
“Be quiet, man.” said Colonel 3 Court, “I think we’ve got something on the radio.”
Beside him, a soldier was turning the controls of a small army radio. Suddenly the voices of one of the hijackers and prisoner 4 came into the room. “So how many soldiers are there in that airport building, my brother?”
“I didn’t see any soldiers and police.”
“That’s strange. No soldiers at all?”
“I did not see any, brother.”
“Very strange, but these are not military 5 people. They do not have many soldiers. Perhaps the woman will do what she says that?”
“What’s happening, Colonel?” Helen asked, “those of hijackers’ voices, how can we hear them?”
The Colonel laughed, “Well, madam! You can see it’s raining, can’t you? We didn’t want our poor prisoner to get wet, so we gave him a nice yellow raincoat you see. But it was an expensive raincoat, because one of its buttons is a small radio transmitter. So now we can hear everything they say and we know where they are on the plane.
Helen smiled, “Good idea, Colonel, I hope it helps.”
“Prime Minister” Michael interrupted 6, “They are coming!”
Helen looked through the window. The door of the plane was open and people walked coming downstairs one after another. Some of them started to run towards the airport building, and few knelt 7 down on the tarmac. “What are they doing?” Helen asked.
“Praying , perhaps” said Michael, “To thank God they are alive.”
Police and doctors came out of the building to help the passengers. Helen stood and watched through the binoculars 8. She did not see Carl.
“ninety-nine, a hundred, that’s it then.” said Colonel Court. The plane door closed. “Now we move on to the next step of our plan. Goodbye, Prime Minister.”
Helen turned and saw the Colonel was putting on white clothes on the top of his army uniform. He put several grenades in the coat pocket and machine gun into a long pocket inside his coat. He smiled at her. “I must help my men refuel the plane.”
“May God go with you, Colonel!” she said.
