At the door, Captain Reynolds emerged from the cockpit. He saw Robert being escorted off. Saw the blood on his collar. Derek, what's going on? Handled Captain. Aggressive passengers removed per protocol.
Reynolds looked past Derek, saw Jessica, saw the passengers staring. Then he glanced into first class, saw Marcus Hayes. The captain's face went pale. Mr. Hayes, Reynolds said. His voice was tight. I didn't realize you were on this flight.
Robert Hayes stepped off flight 447 into the jetway, the door sealed behind him. Inside, Jessica exhaled, smiled. Another problem solved. Derek patted her shoulder. Nice work. Grab a coffee.
