Slater grunted as he sat up, scratching his head groggily.
"I fell asleep," he murmured, feeling his stomach grumble. Licking his lips, Slater dragged his feet and listened to his body for some light snacks. He hadn’t had enough food since the night before, so he knew he had to eat something before going back to sleep.
But alas...
Slater stopped in the next cabin and blinked. He rubbed his eyes, thinking he was still half-asleep. Perhaps he was still dreaming. But when he snapped his eyes ahead, deep lines formed between his brows.
"What in the..." he trailed off, his eyes on the unconscious cabin crew tied up just a few steps away from him. "... world happened here?"
A second later, he sobered up and rushed to the tied-up cabin crew. "Hey!" he called, shaking the person awake. When the person didn’t wake up, Slater perked up and looked around.
"Penny?!" he called, getting to his feet.
As far as he knew, his brothers and sister were supposed to be here. But there was no trace of them. Seeing the tied-up cabin crew, a part of him told him that there were intruders on the plane. The mere thought that his siblings might be in danger made Slater act fast.
He didn’t hesitate and rushed to the next cabin. No one was there, but Slater could already feel a gust of wind coming from ahead.
A gust of wind... in a plane.
That was not good.

"Second Brother," Zoren breathed out, heaving a sigh of relief. If Hugo hadn’t reached him in time, they would’ve been falling from the sky. However, his sigh of relief didn’t last long because the situation hadn’t changed.
If anything, Hugo was now carrying four people.
Could Hugo pull all of them up?
"I’m not losing all of you at once." A deep breath escaped Hugo, steadying himself and making sure the wind and weight wouldn’t pull him and everyone down with it.
Meanwhile, Penny slowly opened her eyes. A shallow breath of relief escaped her as she looked back to see what happened. But since half of her body was now outside the door, she had to straighten her back with great difficulty. With two grown men’s weight, she could barely take a peek at what had happened.
Fortunately, Hugo was standing awkwardly with his other hand and arm hooked around the seat, his foot stepping on the wedge underneath the seat, while his other hand was holding Zoren. His position granted her enough to put two and two together.
"Second Brother," she whispered before setting her eyes back on Atlas. "Second Brother is there."
Atlas nodded. "Hugo! Can you hear me?!"
Hugo didn’t answer, but he did hear him. He simply couldn’t respond as he was clenching his teeth, focusing every bit of his strength on holding the group together. freewёbnoνel.com
