Left Behind Book 3 Nicolae Chapter 2
The Learjet was a six–seater. Carpathia and Fortunato, deep in conversation, ignored Rayford and Amanda as the couple passed. The Steeles ducked into the last two seats and held hands. Rayford new global terror was entirely new to Amanda. It was new to him. On this scale, it was new to everyone. She gripped his hand so tight his fingers turned white. She was shuddering.
Carpathia turned in his seat to face them. He had that fighting–a–grin look Rayford found so maddening in light of the situation. “I know you are not certified on these little speedsters,” Carpathia said, “but you might learn something in the copilot’s chair.”
Rayford was much more worried about the plane he would be expected to fly out of Dallas, something he had never seen or even heard of. He looked at Amanda, hoping she would plead with him to stay with her, but she quickly let go of his and and nodded. Rayford climbed toward the cockpit, which was separated from the other seats by a thin panel. He strapped himself in and looked apologetically at the pilot, who offered his hand and said, “Chico Hernandez, Captain Steele. Don’t worry, I’ve already done the preflight check, and I don’t really need any help.”
“I wouldn’t be of any help anyway,” Rayford said. “I haven’t flown anything smaller than a 707 for years.”
“Compared to what you usually fly,” Hernandez said, “this will seem like a motorbike.”
And that’s exactly what it seemed to Rayford.
