I hear a voice cut through the silence or in actuality cut the rumble of my twin engines and I listen to it as I follow the ravine I’m in. As I start to speed up I hear the klaxon that warns of a missile lock and know he has me. I consider his words and think that my only options are go vertical and on burner and try to out fox him or comply.<br/><br/>We are on a straight path as I think again about the fate that awaits me when they see my flight recorder at home as we near the turn I slow down and pull even with him matching his speed still ignoring the missile warning tone.<br/><br/>“Don’t shoot comrade” I say on the open frequency sealing my fate back home “I’ll comply”<br/><br/>I turn to look at his plane and see its one that I barely know about and smile ‘Maybe going with him is not all bad’ I think to myself
