"Wait! Please, oh God! Wait!" Nancy gushed as she dashed up to the entrance to flight 95 at Trans Canada Airlines.

Her heels squeaked as she came to an abrupt halt; handing over her boarding pass to the beautiful, blonde Flight Attendant.

Through her gasping and panting, Nancy thanked her for waiting and proceeded down the hallway leading onto the aircraft that would take her home to Vancouver.

Once aboard the plane, she located her window seat, stowed away her carry-on and plunked down into the thick padded seat. Just then, a middle aged woman with a tender smile and twinkling blue eyes claimed the seat beside her.

With a brief exchange of 'hello's' the women settled in with their own thoughts.

Nancy was weary after a late business dinner the night before. She gave a small contented smile. The meeting had gone well. This account would set them up for years.

Just then, the Pilot came over the speaker, "Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. This is your pilot speaking. It is a beautiful day for flying and the weather is clear all the way.

It should be a smooth flight and we should arrive at our destination in approximately three hours. I hope you enjoy your flight."

The seatbelt sign flashed on and off signaling for passengers to buckle up and the plane began it's smooth ride along the airstrip. With ease, the 747 made it's way off the ground to make it's ascent up to full airspeed.

Nancy unbuckled her seatbelt, laid her head back against the headrest and settled back to enjoy a much-needed nap. After what seemed like several hours, she was woke up by the Attendant.

"Miss, can I get you something to drink?" she enquired with her model smile.

"Yes. I could do with a cold drink. Thank you. Iced Tea with lemon, please," Nancy replied.

"How about a snack? Some fruit and cheese?"

"That sounds refreshing. I would love some," Nancy answered with a nod.

The Attendant nodded saying, "I will be right back with your order."

Several minutes later, Nancy was reaching for her Iced Tea from the Attendant when her cell phone rang.

It's probably just Jim. He can wait. I'm going to sit here and relax.

However, after persistent ringing and glances from her travelling companion beside her, Nancy heaved a sigh and reached for the annoying phone.

"Hello. Hello? I'm sorry, I can hardly hear you. Who is this?" Nancy asked with annoyance.

All she could hear, was alot of static and a woman's hysterical whispering.

Bewildered, Nancy snapped the phone shut and started to replace it in her pocket when the ringing
