Chapter 42

Hailey's Avenge

"You are not going to be able to kill me" Abu Salem remarked. "You have the entire world to protect on your shoulders." He giggled.

John pulled him from his shoulders, his ppe kit bothering him but still he threw him on the wall with whatever force he could muster "I don't intend to" John replied.

He stepped aside "she is"

Standing in all her glory Hailey jerked off the stray of shining silver gray hair off her mane, her gun pointed at Abu Salem.

"So a woman is going to kill me?" Abu smirked "its not going to be that easy John"

Hailey threw away her huge gun.

She pounced on Abu Salem punching him right on the face making his nosebleed.

"Try me" Hailey bent down picking Abu Salem from his couched position and punched him again. "You son of a b!tch"

"There you go " Abu said, "we should have met years ago. I would have made you my mistress"

John roared and pounced on him now punching him left , right and frequently on his abdomen.

Abu Salem coughed and bled blood.

"No" Hailey pulled back John, "I have to do this" she yelled.

John nodded at her in agreement and stepped aside.

Hailey took a huge leg swirl and kicked with her leather boots on Abu's face.

Hailey smirked as she heard cracking of his nose.

"Enough" Abu shouted, "I have had enough of your nonsense."

"You have no idea" Hailey said "enough is never enough for what you have done."

"Well. We should talk this over lady" Salem stood on his feet like the assault never happened to him "I still am the only one who has the antidote."

"No you are not" Hailey kicked him again enjoying the wrinkles on his forehead and confused John.

"you forgot to remove that tag of pharmaceutical company." Hailey who had now procured her gun hit him from the back of the gun "John got all the doctors and workers from the lab arrested and the antidote will be here soon."

Abu chuckled "your agent wont be able to survive till then" he gave one sinister look to John "You lost. By the time your antidote arrives half the city would have been infected"

As on cue Hailey coughed and a small string of blood dripped from her nose.

"You son of a b!tch" John angrily went on to attack Abu and threw him on the floor.

Hailey was coughing breathlessly but she stood on her feet, picked her gun and shouted at John "Stop. He's mine to avenge"

John stepped aside and Hailey pulled the trigger of her gun pointing between his bushy ugly brows.

With blood dripping form his forehead and mouth, Abu fell lifelessly on the floor.

Hailey too fell on the floor unconscious "you okay" John cradled her on his laps

"I avenged him John." Hailey coughed "I avenged him.

"My work here is done" Hailey managed to speak "he'd be proud of me."

"Yes he'll be very proud of you. I am" John said proudly "stay put. Hellhole don't go." John begged. "He's looking at you praying to god for you to heal."

"J.. John" Hailey smiled "He was an atheist"

"So was I Hellhole. But I believed in hell, I believed in you." John cried, "If there is hell, there ought to be God and he'll have to save..."

Before John could finish, his body lay lifeless on the floor.

Forgetting her pain and health Hailey shrieked "JOHN John John get up"

D joined them soon, Kathie trailing behind, her eyes red and cheeks stained with tears, Danny and Henry too behind.

"They are here." D exclaimed, "you were right John. There was some leftover of the drug in the vial and the experts figured it out." He cradled Hailey on his laps holding John's hands "Antidote is here. Just stay with me for some more time.."

"I don't think I have time" John hiccupped like he was taking his last breath

Kathie took a deep breath that she was holding "you do. You got to, We need time together. You never leave unfinished business." Kathie was crying full on now "You stick to commitments. You promised you'd ..." Kathie was restless or I'd join you" she pulled his facemask and kissed him all over his face.

"No Kathie" John denied

"You will have to live, if not for me but for the world, to fight the evil." Kathie pulled him on his laps "don't sleep John stay awake"

"Okay" John said defeated but pulled the mask back on his face. 'just stay with me. If I die, don't cry. Promise?"

"You are not dying" Kathie nodded her head.

"There are others who deserve the antidote more."

"Sir sir" one of the airport staff rushed towards D, "some one took off with the flight. I think he's taking the flight and passengers to Japan.'

John stood up like he was infused with lightening energy.

John threw off his ppe suit to fasten his speed jumped off to the runway and followed after the plane.

One of the terrorists were still pulling off the stairs and closing the doors while the plane was in motion.

John climbed the plane just in time to enter before the door was shut.

He punched the terrorist who was closing shut the door making him fall on the aisle but by this time the plane had taken speed and was taking off.

John ignored the shrieking ill passengers and walked directly towards the cockpit.

There were warnings coming from the radio, which obviously the pilot or terrorist was ignoring.

John hit him hard on his head but the pilot had pulled the lever and the plane took off.

John waited till the plane was stable in the air and he could shift it in autopilot mode and pulled the pilot from his seat kicking him hard on his abdomen.

The terrorist hit him back

"You should revert back"

"This is illegal"

"You will be charged

This is warning.

We promise no penalties if you bring back the flyers safe"

There was constant announcement from the radio which the two ignored fighting each other.

Pilot had an upper hand since John was bleeding profusely.

"You are barely going to survive this infection" the sinister voice of pilot was enough to bring chills down John's spine.

"And you are going to survive with the antidote?' John asked coughing

Pilot coughed in response "antidote?" he furrowed his brows, his confidence shaking for the first time "there is no antidote.' He said.

'Well not for you" John said feeling confident that he had an upper hand "but Abu Salem surely did. He had already taken the antidote before landing at the airport."

John found the pilots concentration wobbling at his words.

"Abu had been doing this for years" John was speaking now that he had his full attention. "he sabotages young mind for his benefit. He even walked out of flying the plane in 2001 leaving you youngsters to die. Do you know he was holidaying in Burj al Khaleefa with his 10 wives when youth like you died in the crash.

"He is a big man meant for bigger things" pilot's words did not match his body language "by grace of god he saved himself for a bigger strike like this one."

"Right" John nodded "and he has already ordered a mistress at his hotel to plan for bigger things."

John noticed pilot's hand shivering so he pumped up "turn around lets go back, my team has antidote ready. You'll get one too."

The pilot debated indecisive.

There was silence in the cabin for first time.

"What is your name?" John asked softly.

"Doesn't matter. You guys will find out once I am dead" he answered.

"No you don't have to die. You have to live." John tried to be persistent and convince him "you can do much better and much bigger things than Abu. You seem to be a nice kid."

"Nice kid?" the pilot chuckled "they killed my dad in front of my yes; I still continued eating chicken kebab that I stole from his plate while he was busy drinking." He was lost in his own world "mom cried, sister was howling shrieking but I kept eating and once I was done they took me there."

"Where?" John asked sorry about his past.

"They said there they forgive all our sins, its Jihad"

"But your preacher; Abu is not following..." John was doing his best to convince him.

"He might be wrong but I want to do right. All I want to do is please God" the pilot spoke and when he accelerated he shouted "Buckle up! Heavens are waiting for us"

John understood with his throat dry, talking wont help.

With one go he lifted the pilot from the seat.

All it took was two blows before the pilot dropped unconscious on the floor.

Warning lights were blinking on the monitor board. "terrain Terrain " the radio shouted

Hello

Hello" John finally answered the land cruise

"I have never flown a plane" was the first thing that John could speak on the microphone, his coughing had now become erroneous.

He could also hear chaos and coughing outside the cabin.

"You are flying too low. I repeat you are flying too low"

"What do I do?" John asked

"Pull the lever" the person from the radio replied.

John followed immediately.

"Press the autopilot button" he instructed.

John managed "I don't think I can pull this thing more" John coughed "I am tired"

"look John" D called "if the plane crashes, you are flying over a highly populated city, millions will die"

"You cannot let people die" Kathie snatched the microphone taking her chance. She knew that was the right nerve to hit. "You have to save the people. You have save the people in the flight with you, innocent people" she was sobbing by the end of conversation.

"John sir , John sir" Wiesley picked the microphone "I think I can help you here"

"This is no application on your mobile or pc" Kathie shouted "he has to fly the damn fu#king plane" Kathie shouted.

"Listen John" Wiezsley ignored the grumbling Kathie "Just follow what I am saying"

"Can I get the stats?" Wiesley asked the air traffic controller.

"John announce from the small microphone if there is someone who has any knowledge of flying plane or an engineer. Every flight has an in house engineer right?' his question was directed towards the controller who nodded in affirmation wiping the line of sweat off his forehead.

"Everyone is sick and unconscious" John denied "there is very little we can do"

"At least there is little to do" Wiesley shouted "Just do it"

Gratefully it helped and rest of the journey to the port was blurred and according to John it was a miracle that the flight landed safely on the runway.

It was safe but it was now here near smooth, it was a bumpy ride. They messed up a lot of times releasing the landing gears at the very last moment.

John was grateful for the autopilot.

"This autopilot is F##king amazing" he said before he pressed the last brakes of the humongous vehicle putting it to a final halt.

Soon there were teams of paramedics attending each and every person on board.

"The antidotes are not easily available but we can buy time with some antibiotics" one of the medical crew stated and John smiled his last before succumbing into a final deep slumber

''''''''''******'''''''''''' not going to be able to kill me" Abu Salem remarked. "You have the entire world to protect on your shoulders." He giggled.

Hailey took a huge leg swirl and kicked with her leather boots on Abu's face.

Hailey smirked as she heard cracking of his nose.

"Enough" Abu shouted, "I have had enough of your nonsense."

"You have no idea" Hailey said "enough is never enough for what you have done."

"Well. We should talk this over lady" Salem stood on his feet like the assault never happened to him "I still am the only one who has the antidote."

"No you are not" Hailey kicked him again enjoying the wrinkles on his forehead and confused John.

"you forgot to remove that tag of pharmaceutical company." Hailey who had now procured her gun hit him from the back of the gun "John got all the doctors and workers from the lab arrested and the antidote will be here soon."

Abu chuckled "your agent wont be able to survive till then" he gave one sinister look to John "You lost. By the time your antidote arrives half the city would have been infected"

As on cue Hailey coughed and a small string of blood dripped from her nose.

"You son of a b!tch" John angrily went on to attack Abu and threw him on the floor.

Hailey was coughing breathlessly but she stood on her feet, picked her gun and shouted at John "Stop. He's mine to avenge"

John stepped aside and Hailey pulled the trigger of her gun pointing between his bushy ugly brows.

With blood dripping form his forehead and mouth, Abu fell lifelessly on the floor.

Hailey too fell on the floor unconscious "you okay" John cradled her on his laps

"I avenged him John." Hailey coughed "I avenged him.

"My work here is done" Hailey managed to speak "he'd be proud of me."

"Yes he'll be very proud of you. I am" John said proudly "stay put. Hellhole don't go." John begged. "He's looking at you praying to god for you to heal."

"J.. John" Hailey smiled "He was an atheist"

"So was I Hellhole. But I believed in hell, I believed in you." John cried, "If there is hell, there ought to be God and he'll have to save..."

Before John could finish, his body lay lifeless on the floor.

Forgetting her pain and health Hailey shrieked "JOHN John John get up"

D joined them soon, Kathie trailing behind, her eyes red and cheeks stained with tears, Danny and Henry too behind.

"They are here." D exclaimed, "you were right John. There was some leftover of the drug in the vial and the experts figured it out." He cradled Hailey on his laps holding John's hands "Antidote is here. Just stay with me for some more time.."

"I don't think I have time" John hiccupped like he was taking his last breath

Kathie took a deep breath that she was holding "you do. You got to, We need time together. You never leave unfinished business." Kathie was crying full on now "You stick to commitments. You promised you'd ..." Kathie was restless or I'd join you" she pulled his facemask and kissed him all over his face.

"No Kathie" John denied

"You will have to live, if not for me but for the world, to fight the evil." Kathie pulled him on his laps "don't sleep John stay awake"

"Okay" John said defeated but pulled the mask back on his face. 'just stay with me. If I die, don't cry. Promise?"

"You are not dying" Kathie nodded her head.

"There are others who deserve the antidote more."

"Sir sir" one of the airport staff rushed towards D, "some one took off with the flight. I think he's taking the flight and passengers to Japan.'

John stood up like he was infused with lightening energy.

John threw off his ppe suit to fasten his speed jumped off to the runway and followed after the plane.

One of the terrorists were still pulling off the stairs and closing the doors while the plane was in motion.

John climbed the plane just in time to enter before the door was shut.

He punched the terrorist who was closing shut the door making him fall on the aisle but by this time the plane had taken speed and was taking off.

John ignored the shrieking ill passengers and walked directly towards the cockpit.

There were warnings coming from the radio, which obviously the pilot or terrorist was ignoring.

John hit him hard on his head but the pilot had pulled the lever and the plane took off.

John waited till the plane was stable in the air and he could shift it in autopilot mode and pulled the pilot from his seat kicking him hard on his abdomen.

The terrorist hit him back

"You should revert back"

"This is illegal"

"You will be charged

This is warning.

We promise no penalties if you bring back the flyers safe"

There was constant announcement from the radio which the two ignored fighting each other.

Pilot had an upper hand since John was bleeding profusely.

"You are barely going to survive this infection" the sinister voice of pilot was enough to bring chills down John's spine.

"And you are going to survive with the antidote?' John asked coughing

Pilot coughed in response "antidote?" he furrowed his brows, his confidence shaking for the first time "there is no antidote.' He said.

'Well not for you" John said feeling confident that he had an upper hand "but Abu Salem surely did. He had already taken the antidote before landing at the airport."

John found the pilots concentration wobbling at his words.

"Abu had been doing this for years" John was speaking now that he had his full attention. "he sabotages young mind for his benefit. He even walked out of flying the plane in 2001 leaving you youngsters to die. Do you know he was holidaying in Burj al Khaleefa with his 10 wives when youth like you died in the crash.

"He is a big man meant for bigger things" pilot's words did not match his body language "by grace of god he saved himself for a bigger strike like this one."

"Right" John nodded "and he has already ordered a mistress at his hotel to plan for bigger things."

John noticed pilot's hand shivering so he pumped up "turn around lets go back, my team has antidote ready. You'll get one too."

The pilot debated indecisive.

There was silence in the cabin for first time.

"What is your name?" John asked softly.

"Doesn't matter. You guys will find out once I am dead" he answered.

"No you don't have to die. You have to live." John tried to be persistent and convince him "you can do much better and much bigger things than Abu. You seem to be a nice kid."

"Nice kid?" the pilot chuckled "they killed my dad in front of my yes; I still continued eating chicken kebab that I stole from his plate while he was busy drinking." He was lost in his own world "mom cried, sister was howling shrieking but I kept eating and once I was done they took me there."

"Where?" John asked sorry about his past.

"They said there they forgive all our sins, its Jihad"

"But your preacher; Abu is not following..." John was doing his best to convince him.

"He might be wrong but I want to do right. All I want to do is please God" the pilot spoke and when he accelerated he shouted "Buckle up! Heavens are waiting for us"

John understood with his throat dry, talking wont help.

With one go he lifted the pilot from the seat.

All it took was two blows before the pilot dropped unconscious on the floor.

Warning lights were blinking on the monitor board. "terrain Terrain " the radio shouted

Hello

Hello" John finally answered the land cruise

"I have never flown a plane" was the first thing that John could speak on the microphone, his coughing had now become erroneous.

He could also hear chaos and coughing outside the cabin.

"You are flying too low. I repeat you are flying too low"

"What do I do?" John asked

"Pull the lever" the person from the radio replied.

John followed immediately.

"Press the autopilot button" he instructed.

John managed "I don't think I can pull this thing more" John coughed "I am tired"

"look John" D called "if the plane crashes, you are flying over a highly populated city, millions will die"

"You cannot let people die" Kathie snatched the microphone taking her chance. She knew that was the right nerve to hit. "You have to save the people. You have save the people in the flight with you, innocent people" she was sobbing by the end of conversation.

"John sir , John sir" Wiesley picked the microphone "I think I can help you here"

"This is no application on your mobile or pc" Kathie shouted "he has to fly the damn fu#king plane" Kathie shouted.

"Listen John" Wiezsley ignored the grumbling Kathie "Just follow what I am saying"

"Can I get the stats?" Wiesley asked the air traffic controller.

"John announce from the small microphone if there is someone who has any knowledge of flying plane or an engineer. Every flight has an in house engineer right?' his question was directed towards the controller who nodded in affirmation wiping the line of sweat off his forehead.

"Everyone is sick and unconscious" John denied "there is very little we can do"

"At least there is little to do" Wiesley shouted "Just do it"

Gratefully it helped and rest of the journey to the port was blurred and according to John it was a miracle that the flight landed safely on the runway.

It was safe but it was now here near smooth, it was a bumpy ride. They messed up a lot of times releasing the landing gears at the very last moment.

John was grateful for the autopilot.

"This autopilot is F##king amazing" he said before he pressed the last brakes of the humongous vehicle putting it to a final halt.

Soon there were teams of paramedics attending each and every person on board.

"The antidotes are not easily available but we can buy time with some antibiotics" one of the medical crew stated and John smiled his last before succumbing into a final deep slumber
