Part 20 “We’re goin’ home,” Thad said with a sigh. He slid into a seat next to Alex, his orders in his hand. “Wesley and I, day after tomorrow. I guess Jeremy will go as soon as he can travel.” Alex watched Thad struggle and empathized. Going home without Max was a bitter pill to swallow, no matter...

Nichole, bless her, has come up with a great banner for FREEFALL! I was trying to post it with this chapter last night, but there were some technical problems that I hope are resolved now. She's done a great job, and I want to thank you publicly, so Thanks, Nicole! http://img.photobucket.com/albums...

Part 18 Jeremy’s hobbling may have lacked grace, but it didn’t lack speed. As Max gathered Rana’s limp body into his arms, Jeremy was already working his way toward Adnan’s tent, calling for help. The words were English, but the urgent tone was a universal language. Yavuz stepped out first, his thr...

Part 17 Since Liz seemed incapable of offering their guest a seat, Svea ushered Diane into the living room, where the television was already quiet and wary eyes jumped from Liz to Diane and back again. “I’m sorry to barge in. You’re obviously . . . entertaining. I, uh, wasn’t sure . . .”Diane’s fin...

Part 16 Whatever time it was, it was still dark, but sleep wouldn’t come. Jeremy dozed beside him, but even he had been restless, fighting in sleep what he could not fight awake. There had been Liz, thank God—the one thing that seemed real about any of this, but the one thing that, in a logical wor...

Part 15 Shivering kept him from sleeping, and lack of sleep made the worry he’d fought off for too many hours loom darkly in his mind. Jeremy hadn’t regained consciousness yet, but that didn’t keep him from shifting restlessly beneath the single thin blanket that had been carelessly tossed to them ...

Part 14 “Goddamn laughing birds.” Max swung his eyes from face to face, wondering if anyone else thought the Captain was losing it. The maintenance crew looked as dismayed as their Captain, but not the least confused. Max, however, had plenty of questions, starting with why he was standing in a mai...

Continued from last post ****** They clung to each other and willed the world away. There were no words. Not yet. There was only the solid reality of flesh and breath. And a fierce determination not to let go. Max breathed her in, more aware of her body wrapped around his than he had ever been, eve...

Part 13 It took 20 minutes for Thad and Max to finish discussing the orders. The two men, along with Lt. Ames and one other pilot from the school, were ordered to join the Nimitz, where flu was sweeping the crew, making it impossible to get their planes in the sky. The carrier was in a hot spot sit...

Part 12 The tantalizing aroma of coffee pried her eyes open, and she wondered if there was a more wonderful feeling in the world than waking to Max’s smiling face. Her own smile answered his, only growing wider when he began to nuzzle her neck. “It’s time to wake up,” he murmured, making her want t...
