airplane 7

She planned her timing carefully. Her senses were alert, her eyes darted around the plane. There were four flight attendants. One went up to see the pilot after the galley was secured, his portable oxygen tank clanking on the seats behind him. Two of the others were trying to calm down the passengers, unsuccessfully. The last attendant was sitting in the back row by herself.. She looked very pale and was taking slow breaths into her portable tank. Her eyes wide with fear, she looked almost transparent. She sa paralyzed watching the chaos unravel in front of her. Phoenix took one last breath and ran back to the row with the attendant. “I need your mask,” Phoenix said gasping for air. The woman looked at her blankly and then looked straight ahead again. Phoenix was almost out of air. All of the sudden, the plane took a sudden jolt, then woman's head slammed hard against the seat in front of her. Phoenix was blown against the wall that forced her to let out her last breath. The woman's mask lay on the floor in front of her now. She grabbed it and put it on. Once she regained breath, she got up and examined the attendant. She had a bleeding welt on the side of her head, but it didn’t look too bad. She got a ceiling mask down for her. She jogged to the galley, grabbed an ice pack and a water bottle, then went back and put it on the side of the woman's head. She then, dragging the heavy oxygen tank behind her, made her way staggering, back to her seat.
