Flight Into Darkness (Flight Trilogy, Book 2) - Plot & Excerpts
Ryan pushed the Omni hard, the accelerator spending most of its time against the floorboard. But even with that, the sick engine could do no better than 70. If he slowed, he might be able to conserve fuel, but the minutes lost could make the difference between life and death for his family. The fuel gauge needle had eased ever so slowly below the top of the ‘E’. Every muscle in his body was wound tight as a spring. With 28 miles to go, he prayed the dregs of the tank would offer up at least one more gallon. Three thoughts constantly revolved in his head, all interconnected: time, fuel, family. He raised his wristwatch and, using the headlights from the car behind, checked the time—11:26. If the vapors in the tank would last, he should arrive at the house approximately ten minutes before midnight. The thought of killing felt wrong, but he had no reservations. He took Chuck’s cell phone, flipped it open, and punched in 9-1-1 on the keypad. He lifted it to his right ear and heard the first ring, then a beep.
