A Series of Unfortunate Events Part: 49

[This is not good. He is in grave danger and is trapped in a drug cocktail induced prison.]

Jason figures the good thing is that with all his other senses out of the picture, he can concentrate on his thoughts with little distraction if he can just slow the rapid succession of things entering and exiting his head. The only sure thing is that he needs to be prepared for when someone makes a mistake and he can escape.

Sgt. Reaver’s eyes are rapidly racing back and forth in his head as the landscape below slowly passes. He is transfixed on finding Daniel’s remains.
“Sir… Sir… Sgt Reaver Sir!”
The pilot struggles to gain his attention over the noise of the engines and through Reaver’s steady concentration.
“Sir! We’re running low on fuel. We have to turn back!”
Reaver’s concentration breaks for a moment and he snaps to the pilot’s attention.
“What?”
“We’re running low on fuel sir.”
“Run us down to the reserves. We’re not that far out.”
“Sir, we’ve gone a long ways and we have wounded men on board that need attention.”
Reaver turns his attention back to the ground while gesturing with his hand in a circular motion, signaling the pilot to turn the chopper around and head back to base. The pilot radios to field operations on the ground.
“Foxtrot Alpha, this is Stealth Hawk X-ray-three-one. Advise ground crews of possible low fuel emergency landing. Stand by medical teams to receive wounded soldiers in transit.”
“Copy that X-ray-three-one. We’ll have ground teams ready and waiting.”
Sgt. Reaver turns his attention back to the pilot to belt more orders at him.
Get back on the horn and get a gunship ready for a search and rescue deployment.”
“Yes sir”
The pilot communicates Reaver’s order as he continues to stare bleakly at the passing landscape. He is thoroughly displeased with the potential loss of one of his best soldiers. He assures himself that Dr. Sharp will not go long without having to see the ramifications of his actions today. No civilian gets away with harming a good soldier and no living creature harms an Elite Guard and survives. Period.
