　　Chapter¹ Two

Later² he woke³ up. Harold was⁴ asleep⁵. Carl looked at his watch. It was midnight⁶. He called the airhostess, “Excuse me, what time do we arrive?”

　　“Eleven thirty P.M. local⁷ time, Sir. That’s about half an hour from now.”

　　“Thank you.” Carl changed the time on his watch.

　　“Anything else, Sir?”

　　“No, I don’t think so. Oh! Wait a minute! Could⁸ I have a cup of coffee, please?”

　　“Yes, of course⁹, Sir!”

　　He watched her bring the coffee. “She looks like my daughter, too.” He thought¹⁰, “And she is very young. She looks nervous¹¹, not sure what to do.”

　　“How long have you been at here, airhostess?” He asked.

　　She smiled. “Three months, Sir.” She said¹².

　　“Do you like it?”

　　“Yes, I love it. It’s very exciting.” She smiled nervously¹³, “Well, that’ll be, Sir.”

　　“Yes, thank you.”

　　“Have a nice flight¹⁴.”

　　He drank the coffee and started to read his newspaper. When Harold woke up, Carl showed him a page of paper. “Look, here you are.” He said. He pointed¹⁶ to a picture. In the middle of the picture stood¹⁷ Carl himself-----a short thin man with grey¹⁸ hair wearing a suit¹⁹. Behind him on the left was Harold-----a tall strong young man like a sportsman²⁰. Both men were smiling. “That’s you and me outside the embassy,” said Carl. “We are in the news¹⁵ again. You can show it to you sons. You are a famous²¹ man, Harold.”

　　Harold laughed. “You are the famous man, Sir. Not me.” He said, “I am just a police²² officer²³, Sir. It’s my job to take care²⁴ of you. That’s a photo of you, not me.”

　　“Perhaps, but your children think that you are a famous man, I’m sure. Here, take it and show it to them.”

　　“OK, thanks.” Harold smiled and put the newspaper in his coat pocket²⁵. “I think I’ll have a cup of coffee, too.” He called for the airhostess, but she did²⁶ not come. Harold looked surprised²⁷.

　　“What’s the matter?” Carl asked.

　　“The airhostess.” Harold said, “She is sitting down talking to those two men.”

　　Carl looked upon²⁸ and saw²⁹ the young airhostess. She was sitting in the seat³⁰ in the front of the plane with two young men. They looked worried³² and nervous. Suddenly³³ one of the young men picked³⁴ up a bag and walked into the pilot³⁵’s cabin³⁶. The other man and the airhostess followed him.

　　“That’s strange³⁷!” said Carl.

　　“What are they doing?”

　　“I don’t know.”

　　“It’s very strange.” said Harold. “I don’t like it at all.” He began to get out of his seat, but then stopped and sat³⁸ down again. For one or two minutes, nothing happened. None³⁹ of the other passengers⁴⁰ moved or spoke⁴¹. They had⁴² seen⁴³ the young men, too. It became⁴⁴ very quiet in the plane. A bell rang, and for a moment they could hear two voices⁴⁶ arguing⁴⁷. Then the pilot spoke, “Ladies and gentlemen⁴⁸, this is the captain⁴⁹ speaking. Please do not be afraid. There is a change of plan³¹. We have to land⁵⁰ on the another airport before we finish our journey⁵¹. There is no danger⁵². We will land in fifteen minutes. Please stay in your seats⁵³ and keep calm⁵⁴. Thank you.” Then the airhostess came⁴⁵ out of the cabin. She looked very different now because she had a machine⁵⁵ gun⁵⁶ in her hand. She stood in the front of the plane and watched the passengers carefully⁵⁷.
