She's My Sleeping Pill

Chapter 665: HIJACKED

It was really unexpected turn of events. Who would have thought that the plane they boarded will be hijacked? Cayenne was taking a video of herself and Stefan while cuddling sweetly when someone grabbed her phone and throw it on the floor. The man stomped on it again and again until it was unrecognizable. On his other hand, a gun was pointing towards Cayenne which stopped her from saying anything. Apparently, he saw that Cayenne caught a side profile of his face when she was taking a video. She didn’t even know what their intention was until she saw the gun he was holding.

“Give me your phone.” He demanded angrily while pointing the gun towards Stefan now. “It’s obvious that you are a couple. Who knows what you will do? She could have sent that video to you and I won’t be taking that risk.”

Stefan raised his eyebrow mockingly but gave his phone anyway. It was a better choice than to anger the man and risk his wife dying in his arms. “Here.”

The man turned around and asked everyone for their phone. He didn’t want to take chances of any passenger who might take videos of him and his accomplice.

They took their phone one after another and placed them inside the black bag that the other man carried. “Put your hands behind your head and face down on your seat. One wrong move and I will shoot you immediately.”

Some passengers were already crying, others were praying and some looked pale due to anxiety. This incident was really nerve-wracking especially that these people were just probably going home to see their loved ones or probably planning to have a new year vacation. At this point, it wasn’t even a guarantee if they could land safely.

“What shall we do now?” Cayenne whispered. Her voice was trembling from fear but she remained calm in front of him. She didn’t panic or show them that she was scared.

.....

“Let’s wait and see that they want. They could be doing this for monetary gain, personal grievances or maybe due to some political disputes.” Stefan retorted while keeping his eyes on her and staying vigilant of their surroundings. The man was walking down the aisle and stopped right beside Cayenne.

Her breathing stopped for a moment when she saw the gun from her peripheral vision. “Give me all your money.” The man stated and the woman behind Cayenne’s seat freaked out. Cayenne thought he was pointing the gun at her but she felt guilty and relieved when she realized he was asking the woman behind her.

The woman stood up and pulled out her bag to get her wallet. She took all of her cash and gave it to the man.

“Is this everything you have?”

“Y-yes. I don’t have any money left.” The woman responded as she tried to take a seat while clutching her bag. Seeing this subtle action, the man grabbed the bag and opened it himself. “Please, not that. It’s my birthday gift.”

“Well...” the man took all the money he found inside the bag and returned the bag to the young woman. “Goodbye birthday gift.” He calmly said and pulled the trigger of his gun.

“Ahhh!”

The woman was jerked back on her seat with her bag in hand. The man moved away like nothing happened and looked around the passengers. It was a sobbing mess inside the plane and even the stewardess could no longer keep their calm. Any moment, they could be the next victim.

“Let’s move on to you.” The man stated and walked to an elderly who looked rich.

It was at this point that Stefan regretted his decision so much. He booked first class seats for both of them but Cayenne insisted of traveling with common people instead of wasting money on an expensive seat that is just the same as normal seats for her. If he didn’t go along with her whims, this wouldn’t have happened to them. But he couldn’t blame Cayenne. His wife was never someone who likes to boast money and power. She likes to live normally and do things that common people do.

Stefan could only blame the criminals who were trying to hurt them.

Behind their seat, the woman groaned and slowly opened her eyes but the person next to her covered her mouth which stunned her and winced in pain.

“Don’t make any noise.” the other woman said in whisper while taking her hand. “Lucky, aren’t you?” she muttered while taking some clothes from the woman’s bag. “Don’t think too much about the money you lost. You can earn it again but you will never earn back your life if you lost it.”

Stefan noticed that the criminals were far from them so he took a peek at the people sitting behind them. When his eyes met with the other woman who was helping the first victim from losing so much blood, he felt familiarity in her eyes. He just didn’t know where he met her.

After administering first aid, the woman told the victim to sleep or at least pretend that she was unconscious. Once everything was set, she nodded her head towards Stefan to subtly acknowledge his presence.

Stefan didn’t say a word and pulled Cayenne closer to him. He had this feeling that everything will be fine when he saw the woman sitting behind them. There was this look in her eyes that tells him those criminals will die.

“Ayen, everything will be fine. We will get back home soon.” Stefan whispered and kissed the top of her head.

Not long after, the woman raised her hand while keeping her head down. One of the men walked towards her and pointed his gun on her head, she flinched in fear and trembled next to him.

“I ... go – ”

“What?!” The man pressed the nuzzle on her head which turned her pale.

She instantly shut her eyes in fear and opened her mouth once again. “I want to go to the CR.”

“Stand!” The man stated at the same time, he pulled her up with so much force. If she was a child with so small bones, he could have dislocated her bone.

She walked ahead of him quietly to the bathroom and when she was in between him and the other man, she counted her steps and moved slowly.

“Walk faster!” the man pushed her to move forward which was what she waited the most. She stumbled and landed in the arms of the other criminal and before he could throw curses in the air, his eyes went wide as he looked down on her smiling lips.

To the other man who was following her, it seems like the woman was flirting with his accomplice. Her elbow was jutting out which shows that her hand was on the man’s lower body. He thought she was touching some precious organ right in front of them.

“Hey! Stop flirti – ” The man cut off his statement when he noticed a small trail of blood on his amigo’s lips and it finally dawned on him that the woman wasn’t flirting. She was attacking his friend. “Don’t move!” He said as he pulled someone closest to him and hold him hostage. “Move and I’ll let you see an explosion of brain.”

“Please...help me...don’t let me die.” the man stated who seems to be of the same age as Luiz. “I still want to apologize to my parents. Please. I’m begging you.”

The woman stepped away from the man she just killed and raised her hands in the air.

“Where’s your gun?”

The woman tilted her head to the side as if confused with his question. “I don’t have a gun. I used the one he was holding to kill himself.”

“Liar! I saw you – ”

“Saw me what?” she questioned back with obvious mockery. “You saw me walk with nothing in my hand. It wasn’t my fault that I stumbled after you pushed me! I wouldn’t have fallen into that man who was ready to pull the trigger anytime.” She saw Stefan standing up from his seat and Cayenne was clutching tightly on his shirt to stop him. “It’s not my fault.” The woman continued to distract the man with their conversation.

“All of you ... “The man whirled around and Stefan sat back on his seat. “Take out all your money and pass them all to me or I will shoot this man and the windows! We can all die together!”

The passengers immediately stood up to get their things and hand him their money. They didn’t want to die like the first passenger who refused to give the money. Well, they thought that she died but she didn’t.

The man was becoming restless with so many people around. He kept moving around with his victim in his arms. His gun was pressed on the man’s head and one wrong step, he could blow his brain away.

He was wary of the woman who just killed the other criminal so he didn’t dare show his back on her. He had no idea that someone else was observing him.

As soon as the opportunity showed up, Stefan pounced on the man. He grabbed his hand away from the hostage and the hostage took this chance to bite the wrist of the criminal. Stefan tried his best to subdue the criminal and everyone ducked in fear of getting hit accidentally. Some were shouting in fear and others have fainted. Not long after, they heard a loud gunshot. Everyone looked towards Stefan who looked petrified and then they looked towards the criminal who was grinning from ear to ear.

“We’re going to crash!”
