The duo rush down to the cafeteria. Quickly pointing out the VIP sitting with his boss, they call him aside to discuss.
“Actually sir, we would like to know if you told us about the aircraft which you are using for the private jet. The reason why I insisted for us to join our brother was because our sister is majoring in a-aeronautics. She would love to collect a model.”
“Sir, I’m afraid we won’t allow that. It’s a private-”
“We can’t ask the same for public transport, right? Just the model name, and where it is stationed, sir. We will note everything under your invigilation if you’d permit.” The man raises his eyebrow.
He felt nothing wrong in accepting their request.
“Alright, sir. I will talk to my boss. Only because you’re Johnsons and I will allow it.”
“Thank you, sir.” David walks to his boss, mentioning about the aircraft situation with the Johnson siblings.
The man was clever, but the lovers were even more clever.
“Are they calling us?” Cassandra feels her heart diluting to a juice, it was beating too fast and loud in her chest. She felt threatened.
“Nice to meet you, lovely. You too, Mr. Zayn. Could you tell me what is so intriguing about our aircraft service to you that you want to study about it?”
Cassandra briefly looks at Zayn as she begins,
“As we stated, sir, I want to learn the aerodynamics of your private jet and make a model out of it. I was denied access and knowledge of public aircrafts, and this shall be my opportunity.”
“Hmm, could you tell me the parts of an aeroplane, dear? Let me check your knowledge.”
Cassandra furrows her eyebrows.
“Are you trying to test me, mister? Do you know who I am?” The man suddenly sits up straight.
“I feel as though you doubt me, and I feel very offended by your behavior. Let me talk to my brother and tell him about you. I’m sure he will refuse to fly with you.” Zayn whips his head at the spot drama she creates.
‘That’s my girl!’ He cheers for her internally.
“There’s nothing like doubting you, dear. We just want to make sure you have kno-”
“Again, that is doubt in your head. On that case, we have our doubts as well. You’re not permitting us as siblings of the CEO to use your service. It’s not like the aircraft can’t manage two more people on board and it’s the problem of just five hours of flight. I don’t understand your company rules, while other airline services allow others to join the CEO by permit.”
Zayn clapped for her performance, yelling and cheering in his brain as he tried his hardest not to smirk in front of them.
“M-miss, I think there is a misunderstanding here-”
“I don’t see any. Zayn, call him. I don’t care if he’s in a meeting. He’ll answer anyway.” Cassandra and Zayn see the staff panic as Zayn fishes his phone out.
“Alright, alright! Please, follow him to the route and learn about our aircraft. David, take them to the take off site.”
“Yes sir.” David clenches his jaw as he tries his best to be polite. He was loathing the rich and the powerful. That is because if Louis was informed about their behavior, he would obviously side with his siblings and the airlines will take a blow. Also, David’s secret mission will be on the line of failure.
Driving quietly with the driver, Cassandra and Zayn secretly high-five each other as they enter the arena.
There was just one plane over the huge land.
“It’s set to take off tomorrow at 5pm, I believe.”
“Yes madam, you’re right.” The man says with clenched teeth.
“Hannes?”
“Madam Johnson? And sir… what are you doing here?” Hannes is a good man. He is Louis’s personal security guard, newly assigned a few months back.
“Hi, Hannes! You’re here for the protection of the aircraft?”
“Yes, madam, I’m afraid a lot of people want yo hurt Louis as per the statistics of his business. That’s why I’m here.”
“Hmm. Like preventing a bombing or something?” Hannes furrows his eyebrows.
“Something similar, madam.”
“Hannes, why don’t we run a thorough check with this aircraft though?” Cassandra says. Hannes was more than confused because he could feel her confident gaze suggesting him something.
On the other hand, Zayn looks at David trying to contact someone on his handphone.
“Excuse me, Mr. David. I would need that phone for a second.” As he says excuse me, Zayn snatches the phone right from his grip.
“H-Hannes, I don’t think it will be necessary to-”
“Why are we not checking the flight? It’s tomorrow. And I hope you’ve checked it thoroughly.”
“On that note ma’am, our team was diverted from the task and we weren’t able to run a diagnosis on the flight anatomy. I wonder.” Hannes had his eyebrows crashed as he nods at his team to run the check.
“Please check somewhere close to the engine.”
“You mean the cockpit, madam?”
“I don’t know anything about planes or aircraft, Hannes.” Cassandra smirks as she turns around to face the sweaty man.
Hannes arranges a team quickly as he keeps an eye on David. The man was shaking in his timbers. Everything was failing on his side.
“Y-you lied to us.” David tries to divert the topic.
“Should that matter now?” David turns to see Zayn who looked more than angry at the moment. If given a chance, the cool-headed man would unleash his anger out on David and there would be no guarantee for David’s mental or physical safety.
“Surround us.” Hannes speaks into the collar as a group of guards march around the aircraft and form a circle around the four.
“Sir! We’ve found hidden explosives!”
As the informant yells from inside the aircraft, Cassandra and Zayn cheers loudly, jumping and celebrating their victory.
Hannes turns to them with a shocked and surprised face.
“How did you both…”
“We tracked them after the meeting and God were they fucking suspicious!” Hannes couldn’t connect the dots.
“Anyway, I’ll handle things from here. Lock thus bastard up. We have to investigate everything.
But before everything… we gotta inform boss about this.”
Cassandra and Zayn lose their victorious smile to worry and concern.
