Something fell off the shelf and broke inside of him.
Maybe it was his heart, he wasn’t sure if it was beating anymore.
He was still breathing though. Heavily. He felt suddenly panicked.
“How did this happen?” He demanded into the receiver as if he were the superior officer about to reprimand an incompetent underling. “He’s flown that route before and no such signal losses were reported so obviously the chopper has gone down.”
This wasn’t an unreasonable conclusion but there were a lot of reasons that communications could go down and man-down wasn’t necessarily the only explanation here. Owen balanced the receiver between his shoulder and chin and immediately began pulling all the information for Sanders’ last assignment. He also pulled active dispatch orders and spotted one he could get added to.
“If his chopper went down you know the insurgents shot it down or at least saw it so they are going to jam the black box signal. Search and rescue won’t be able to use traditional methods to locate him. They are completely unequipped for this. If I get my gear together I can be down in hangar five to catch the dispatch flight with search and rescue that’s going out at midnight tonight.” He suggested.
He was clicking rapidly through Sanders’ assignment dossier, “If I could get authorization now I can put a Special Recon team together and we could find him.”
Owen’s first reaction was to crush down the tide of pain that threatened to sweep him under and to spring into action. If he could do something, he didn’t have to feel what he was feeling.
