12 ACCIDENT!?

Nathan Zachary Gaberson's POV: (Still Natalie's dad)

*FLASHBACK CONTINUATION*

"Yeah...I hope so too..." I said and heaved a sigh.

"*TING* For passengers of flight 5B442 please go to the boarding area. Thank you." I heard from the other line.

"Hon. I gotta go, I'll call you later okay?" She said.

"Okay. Be safe, take care. Don't come near any guys in there." I said with a tinge of jealousy in my voice. I heard her chuckle from the other line. Her laughter is music to my ears.

"Okay, okay. I won't, bye hon." She said.

"Bye hon. I love you." I said sweetly.

"I love you too." She said and hung up. After she hung up I resumed my work.

*ABOUT ONE AND A HALF HOURS LATER*

I'm still signing papers here in my office, and i haven't received a call from my wife yet, and it's making me worry. I mean like, New York isn't THAT far from the Main Building of GE here in Washington, it's only a one hour flight. And suddenly, I hear my phone buzz. It wasn't a call, it was just a notification. So either way I still checked it. And the title of the article that I got a notification from, almost made me want to die...

'A Plane From NYC Crashed While Landing On The Premises Of Washington D.C. All Passengers And Cabin Crew Of The Plane Are All Confirmed Dead.'

The title read. And my heart skipped a beat. I read more of the article just to confirm and I went to the names of the passengers in the plane that have died. When I saw one particular name, I felt like my whole world stopped and tears started to form in my eyes. It read:

'Roxane Zypher Gaberson'

No. NO! My wife can't be dead...I just talked to her a while ago. And now....and now, she's dead. I didn't even get to see her one last time.

I decided to call my soon-to-be-son-in-law, Jason.

In just a few rings, he answered the call...

"Hello Uncle?" He greeted from the other line.

"J-jason...c-can you c-come here i-in my office?" My voice cracked.

"Of course Uncle. What's the matter?" He asked.

"I'll tell you when you get here." I just said.

"Yes Uncle." He said before he hung up.

I pressed the intercom and said to my assistant:

"Tell my daughter to come to my office. It's an emergency."

"Yes President." I heard from the other side.

I'm sure Natalie will be here earlier since Jason is still at the RE (Reinist Entertainment) main building which is a ten minute drive from there to here.

For now let me call a friend to confirm it...

*FLASHBACK ENDS*

"Well...take a look at this first..." I said and handed Natalie my phone.

When she saw the title I saw her freeze, and when she started scrolling down, tears started forming in her eyes.

"I-is this r-real? I-is mom r-really d-dead?" Her voice cracked while asking asking me. I can't stand seeing her like this.

She's my daughter. And I can't even do anything to stop her crying. My tears are now falling as well.

I came to her and hugged her tight. Tryng to comfort her, even though I know that it won't work.

Then suddenly we heard a knock on the door. It must be Jason.

I quickly wiped my tears away and went to open the door.

I let him in, and when he saw Natalie crying he immediately went to her and hugged her tight.

The gesture made her cry more. Haahh...these two are really made for each other.

"Uncle. What happened? Why is she crying?" He asked, his eyes filled with worry. I just shook my head sadly and I saw Natalie give him my phone.

When he looked at it, he had the same reaction as Natalie, but he didin't cry.

He just hugged her tight while giving me back my phone and asked me:

"Uncle. Have you confirmed this?"

"Yes, I did. While I was waiting for the two of you, I called the owner of the airport from both New York to Washington. But the odd thing is, the staff from New York said that when they did a check-up on the plane before took off, everything was fine. But the police that investigated said that the reason for the crash was because of fuel shortage." I said while thinking about is carefully.

"T-this m-must be planned r-right?" She asked, her voice still carcking and tears are still continiously falling from her eyes.

I saw Jason carry her and lift her up from her chair and he sat on it and put her on his lap while facing him. He then hugged her tight and let her cry on his chest.

"Shhh...love. Just let it out. Just let it all out..." He kept on repeating those word until Natalie fell asleep in his arms from crying.

Then he said to me:

"'They've' started moving."

"I know son..."
