Snippet #2163904

A few minutes later Franklin and Abigail had boarded the DC-4, formerly a cargo transport during the war, now decommissioned and in use as a commercial flyer. There wasn't much luxury aboard the plane, but it suited their needs and possessed the necessities of successful flight and landing-Wings, wheels and the like.

The 2 hour 20 minutes of flight from Spain to Germany gave the unlikely couple ample time to discus their plan further. Upon first entering the plane Abigail waited for Franklin as he talked via the radio transceiver to his supposed colleague in Germany, this Klaus hoped would lend more credibility to his intricate scam.

Once in their seats Franklin related those details which Abigail was partially prevented from hearing, she had been standing outside the cockpit and in a particularly noisy part of the rattling airplane.

Franklin laid out the general plan.

"Well, everything is settled and waiting. My friend, who is head of security at Heidelberg Air Force Base has insured me that he will do everything he can to keep the plane on the runway for one hour. He will provide some type of distraction which should delay the flight long enough for us to do our part. Once we get there he will escort us to the runway, there we will secure a forklift and removed the prize."

Franklin looked around the aircraft before leaning closer to Abigail so that only she may hear the last bit of plan.

"We will simply wait in one of the hangers until night, then its simply a matter of reserving the next flight out. We will load the device into the plane and be off within minutes."

At that moment Walter couldn't make up his mind as to which was more exciting, the thought of adventuring for Dragon's teeth or the hand of a gorgeous dame resting on his upper thigh.

"Ive always wanted to visit Bulgaria." Walter said as he placed his hand over and upon hers.

Walter's enthusiasm did much to cover his true thoughts of concern and suspicion. He had suddenly remembered the few words Abigail said about an important letter that he was meant to receive.

Walter had added to this the troubled demeanor of Abigail's voice over the phone, both of the aspects were wearing heavily on his mind.
