Ch. 62- We're Engaged! (Alice)

[Mierin]

Alice blinks, looking surprised as she walks toward the plane with Jason. Smirking, she elbows him gently and says, "Very cool!"

[dakota]

Secret Service members scrutinized their credentials, but eventually they were led onboard to sit in a small cabin near the cockpit. " Choose your seats, we'll be departing in ten minutes."

Jason let Alice choose, commenting," This is better than first class on any plane I've been on, and this is the help's seats."

[Mierin]

Alice picks seats in the middle of the plane and sits down. "yes, it is a nice plane." she agrees with Jason.

[dakota]

"Alice," Jason swallowed in suprise," We're bumming a ride home on Air Force One, and all you can say is it's a nice plane? Not only is Mac going to flip in disbeleif I had the marbles to ask, the others will never beleive us."

[Mierin]

Alice grins at Jason as she sits down and says, "It is very cool! I can hardly believe it myself!"

[dakota]

Suprisingly, no one else joined them in the small passenger area. A couple of the secret service passed through, bu they were otherwise left alone. Right on cue, they could feel the engines start and then the plane began to take off. They were soon airborne and the aide that had been in the compartment with them got up and left.

Jason smirked, "you know, we're all alone in here now." He leaned in for a kiss

[Mierin]

Alice returns the kiss but then leans back with a smirk. "We should be careful." she cautions. "We don't want to get into trouble."

[dakota]

" Aww, but I want to be bad and be punished." Jason grinned and leaned back in his seat. " Guess we should check in, and let them know we're on our way home, huh?"

[Mierin]

Alice laughs and hugs Jason and nods. "Yeah, that's a good idea." Presuming she can't use her cell phone on the plane, Alice looks for a phone she can use.

[dakota]

Further up the passenger cabin, Alice found a small booth not much larger than an airplane washroom, but inside instead she found a telephone on a small desk and a chair. Glancing at the padding on the wall, it was meant for private calls. Jason was still in his seat, slipping on his headphones when Alice looked back.

[Mierin]

Alice picks up the phone and calls the beach house. 'Hopefully things aren't total chaos there.' Alice thinks to herself as she waits for someone to pick up.

[dakota]

Beth answered on the second ring. Her tone was tentative," Hello, can I help you?"

[Mierin]

Alice says, "Hi Beth, it's Alice Weatherby calling. I just wanted to let everyone know that Jason and I are heading back early and to check in to see how things are."

[dakota]

" Oh, hi Alice." Beth relaxed, but Alice could here she was hammering at a keyboard. " Things are... busy. I'll let you talk to Janie."

Jane came on the phoneline after Alice heard Beth tell her who it was and that they were on the way home. " Hi. You sure you want to come back to this mess? December is gone, she flipped out and ran off. Isamu took the team to find Trevor and from there they are currently busting up some Brethren stronghold where they think Bittany's brother might be being held for trying to quit over his sister's death. And her other brother is helping them. Oh yeah, and it's full moon, so Ashley is flipped out again and locked in the basement. And I've got something we need to talk about when you get back. How'd you hop a plane so quick, anyways?"

[Mierin]

Alice sighs as she listens to Jane tell her what is going on. "Wow, things really are a mess." In regards to how they were getting home so quickly, Alice says, "It's a long story. I'll tell you when we get back."
