Chapter 1
Disaster in the Sky
Jack sat at the controls of the small plane, his fingers curled around the steering wheel as if it were the only thing keeping him grounded. Lana sat next to him, arms crossed over her chest, trying not to fidget. The plane was almost twelve years old, and though it was an old but reliable machine, the sensation of literally floating in space still made his heart pound.
“How are you feeling?” Jack asked, not taking his eyes off the instruments.
“Fine,” Lana replied, trying to hide the worry in her voice. She stared out the window, where the endless horizons of Australia stretched, soon giving way to the ocean, and then, almost imperceptibly, the contours of the green Amazon jungle. This was the last leg of their journey — their direct flight across the Pacific and South America. The tension from the long journey still lingered, and though she tried not to show it, every sharp jolt of the plane made her muscles tense.
“You’re not afraid of flying, are you?” Jack tried to joke, knowing Lana wasn’t fond of these short private flights. Though they were both seasoned travelers, the small plane, with its shaky frame and antique engine, seemed less safe than they thought.
“Afraid? No, that’s more… inconvenient,” Lana glanced at the instruments, but the image reappeared before her eyes: a dense, vibrant ocean of greenery stretching to the horizon, without boundaries or clear outlines. She mentally estimated how long it would take them to reach the next point on the map.
But at that moment the plane made a strange jerk, and Jack felt the steering wheel suddenly become light, as if someone had turned off the controls for a second.
“What the hell?” his voice was tense. Before he could finish his sentence, the engines began to screech, and the noise that crashed down on them was so loud that Lana covered her ears with her hands.
