Between Goodbye and Rescue

When war reaches Irestan, the evacuation flight is ready to leave, but Everett Jones refuses to let it take off. He is waiting for his first love, Annie Scott, who is busy looting luxury cosmetics. As insurgent forces close in, the passengers beg Everett to see reason, and all eyes turn to Daniela Larson, the flight's captain and co-leader of the evacuation, to make the call. Among those at risk is Zayden Lynch, a celebrated doctor whose safety matters to countless patients back home.

Daniela, who remembers a past life in which Everett's obsession destroyed her, chooses differently this time. She backs Everett, letting him wait for Annie, even as the cabin erupts in fury and Everett seizes a hammer to silence the protests. Annie finally arrives, and the plane prepares to depart, but Daniela has noticed something wrong with the aircraft that no one else has.

With insurgents closing in and the passengers turning on one another, Daniela must decide how far she will go to settle a debt from a life only she remembers.
