“Well, the only one I like,” he said, “is married to my best friend.”
“I’m sorry about that,” Ryland said quietly. “What a shit deal.”
“No,” Bullard said. “I came on the scene last. They were always meant to be together. Especially now they are a family.”
“If you say so,” Ryland said.
Bullard nodded. “Damn right, I say so.”
And that set the tone for the next many hours. They landed in Hawaii, and while they fueled up everybody got off to stretch their legs by walking around outside a bit as this was a small private airstrip, not exactly full of hangars and tourists. Then they hopped back on board again for takeoff.
“I can fly,” Ryland offered as they took off.
“We’ll switch in a bit,” Bullard said. “Surprisingly, I’m doing okay yet, but I’ll let you take her down.”
“Yeah, it’s still a long flight,” Ryland said studying the islands below. It was a stunning view of the area.
“I love the islands here. Sometimes I just wonder about the benefit of, you know, crashing into the sea, coming up on a deserted island, and finding the simple life again,” Bullard said with a laugh.
“I hear you,” Ryland said. “Every once in a while, I wonder the same.”
Several hours later Ryland looked up and said abruptly, “We’ve made good time considering we’ve already passed Fiji.”
Bullard yawned.
“Let’s switch.”
Bullard smiled, nodded, and said, “Fine. I’ll hand it over to you.”
Just then a funny noise came from the engine on the right side.
They looked at each other, and Ryland said, “Uh-oh. That’s not good news.”
Boom!
And the plane exploded.
