MD1, 2:31 PM
FLIGHT 313 towards Scranton

>>" If I go down, or if you see something I don't, do what you have to do. Clear?"

Flynn had joined the X-files only a year ago, and already he had shot several people, killing one. He started to hate the gun. But he swallowed and nodded. "Clear."

Kate looked at him for a minute, then nodded. "Ready?" she lifted the key towards the key-hole, when all of a sudden the plane took a nose-dive.

Flynn and Kate were pressed against the cabin door, and the key slipped out of Kate's fingers. "DAMN!" she yelled, Flynn could hardly hear her through the screams of the passengers. He had to take some deep breaths to control his own panic as well...


Scene: Cockpit

"What the hell are you doing?" the wounded pilot yelled at his former co-pilot.

The hijacker laughed wildly, and strapped on a parachute. "I'm going flyin'." He raised his gun, slammed it on the back of the pilot's head. With a grunt the pilot's head fell back slowly. He then unbuckled the pilot and switched of the auto-pilot.

He looked back at the stewardess and laughed again. "Hold on tight, pretty, it's going to be a bumpy ride."

He pushed the pilot against the stick, and immediately the plane started to make it's kamikaze run.

"What are you doing?" the stewardess wimpered as she held on to the chair.

"I'm going to bail out," the hijacker told her with strain, as he climbed up towards her. "But at this altitude I can't really breathe, so I'm getting into a lower altitude."

"You'll never make it to the escape hatch." she said.

He laughed, I'm not going through the escape hatch, I'm going through the front door, baby." he pointed at the window.

Her eyes went wide with shock. "You don't know what'll happen! The pressure will...."

"I know exactly what will happen, pretty. Team Delta will have a bad day." he laughed as he checked the altitude.

OUTSIDE COCKPIT


"I can't reach it!" Flynn yelled, as he tried to grasp the key with his fingers. It was stuck between the door and the treshhold.

Newt and another person were slowly descending towards them. "Have you.. ah. I see." he didn't finish his question.

Kate lowered herself towards the floor, and tried to get the key herself, her fingers felt the cold metal of the key, and she tried desperatly to get a hold of it. "Got it!" she said, then smiled, Flynn helped her up, and Kate pushed the key into the hole.


INSIDE COCKPIT:

"You see... The splinters will wound me, that's why I need a volunteer to go first." the hijacker pointed towards the pilot. "He just volunteered didn't he? Hahaha."

He raised his gun and fired three times at the window, the plane began to shake violently, as the pressure began sucking paper and things out of the cabin.. The uncouncious pilot was lifted out of his chair and sucked out of the window, enlarging the hole.

"Sorry pretty," He wispered in the stewardesses ear. "No witnesses."

He shoved her, and laughed: "LADY's FIRST!!!!" then jumped after her, as the door opened..

Kate opened the door, and immediately tried to shut it again. She saw a man jumpt out the cockpit window, and she felt herself almost slipping away, falling towards the hole. Flynn grabbed her arm, while Newt jumped across and held on to her leg.

Flynn looked through the door, and saw Kate trying to reach for the seat. He looked at Newt. "We have to try and swing her towards the seat. Then she can help others down." he yelled

Newt nodded towards the man he brought with him, "He's a Pilot!!" he yelled back.

Flynn changed his grasp from Kate's arm to Kate's leg, after yelling they were going to swing her towards the navigator's chair.

Newt and Flynn swung her until they saw Kate grab hold of the chair, then they let her go, making sure she was all right.

She took a moment, to catch her breath, then made her way down to the co-pilot's chair. Flynn lowered himself in the cockpit. The pilot came forward and helped Newt to swing him to safety.

Flynn grabbed the chair, and felt that Newt and the Pilot had let go of his legs. He grasped the chair tightly, not looking at the gaping hole. It was cold, but at least the cabin was pressurized now, and the pull was no longer as huge as it had been before. Flynn gestured for the pilot to come in, before it was too late.

Newt held his legs, and Flynn reached for the pilot's arms, grabbing hold of it, Newt let go. Flynn helped the pilot lower himself towards Kate.. He couldn't understand what they were yelling, but the pilot nodded, and reached for the control stick. It didn't seem to help. The plane was still screaming down, and Flynn got a look at the altitude-meter, and was not happy with what he saw. The pilot then lowered himself even more, towards the console as Kate helped him in the seat and buckle in. Then he looked at the console and flipped a switch. The plane reacted with a vengance.

"I don't want to die." Flynn heard himself saying. He closed his eyes, and waited...


Scene: Somewhere in Washington.

"I just got the message." he grinned. "Delta's no more."

Jack hit him with his fist. His eyes colder than the artic. "Fool. It wasn't enough. Somehow they managed to stabilize the plane. Right now they're being talked down by Scranton's flight control. Seems there was a pilot on the passenger list you overlooked."

The man's face paled. "I'm.... sor..."

Jack kicked him, then turned towards two people at the door, "His services are no longer wanted. He failed twice."

"NOOOO!!" the man screamed as he was taken out of the room by the two guards.

Jack turned towards the radio and listened as the new pilot of flight 313 landed the plane with success. "Damn. There are more ways than one to skin a cat. Enjoy your victory for the time being DELTA. It won't last long...."
