The President & The Daughter (Air Force One)

Chapter Nine

"Bob, are you still there?" Jim asked him.

"Yes, sir." Bob answers.

"We've a little problem here. My rudder is sluggish."

"Let me take a look, sir," the Halo chief replied and flew off to check the tail of the plane.

"Oh man. Did you see that, too?" The Halo chief asked them.

"Yeah, that's too much damage because of debris." Maleficent answers.

"Sir, you're torn up pretty bad out here. Do you have elevator control?" He asked Jim.

"Sluggish, too," Jim replied to the pilot. "And we're still losing fuel." He answers.

"Okay."

The pilot then told the chiefs, "We've got a problem here. Sirs, Air Force One is badly hit. With the damage, there's no way they can land."

Angel turned instead to Jim, now staring at the pilot chief.

"I'm sorry, sir," the pilot apologized worriedly.

"Thanks for your help," Jim replied.

"I'll stay on your wing, sir. Take it straight and steady until we figure out what to do. Sir, you did great."

Jim and Angel had done great, fighting off all six Ruskies off the plane and rescuing the hostages to safety.

He then saluted at the pilot as the pilot did his first. Once down, the pilot did the same.

Meanwhile, in the White House when they watched on screen.

"They can't control the plane. The engines are failing, and they're losing fuel." The general said.

"There must be something we can do to help them." Kathryn said.

Then Bob saw something on the screen.

"General, is that our airstrip strike team?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"I just had a wild idea."

In the sky with airstrip strike team....

"Time is critical. Start turning north. You'll get more details en route." Bob said.

"Yes, sir. Change of orders acknowledged." He said as they turned to North.

Back to the Air Force One....

"Try to hold your heading, sir. They'll be rejoining from the south in about 25 minutes." Bob replied.

"All right." Jim said.

"We know it's risky."

"Understood."

"But we are all out of options."

Then Alice came to her father.

"Dad?"

"Yeah, baby?"

"It'll be okay."

"Everything's gonna work, sis." Angel said.

Then Alice kisses on head to Jim and Angel.

Moment Later, when the airstrip strike team arrived.

"Air Force One, this is Liberty 2-4, approaching on your left side," the pilot reminded all of us aboard the plane. "Do you read?"

"Air Force One, loud and clear," Angel replied.

"Gibbs, they're here. Get the door." Jim ordered to Gibbs.

"Yes, sir." He said as he went to open the door.

"We'll need 10,000 feet, 200 knots." The pilot instructions.
