There was no questioning the fact that the plane had settled into the surface of the field. The plane was invisible below the tops of the landing wheels, as though the plane were sinking into invisibility, slowly dissolving from the bottom. "Understand?" Jeter's fingers almost shouted. "Understand why we felt the desire to keep moving?
"My husband brought me to Arkansas when I was 35 and I been workin' in the same family, Captain Jeter's family, ever since-forty odd years. "I always have worked hard. I've had the flu only reason I'm sittin' here now. If I had to sit and hold my hands very long, they'd have to take me to Little Rock. "I been married twice. My last husband was Sam Shaw.
Jeter's eyes began to blaze with excitement, as he spoke. "Now you can tell the world that the thing which causes the havoc Manhattan is experiencing is not supernatural. It is human and our people have no fear of human enemies." "But why was not the warship dropped somewhere, as the buildings have been?" asked Hadley.
But by each other every word was clearly heard. "That last outburst of Sitsumi's explains a lot of the reported activity in the Lake Baikal region, beyond the Gobi," swiftly dropped from Jeter's lips. "The materials which Sitsumi uses in the preparation of his light-ray-bending substance are found near there somehow.
Still, Jeter's mind went on, if that had happened they would now, in all likelihood, have been right among the enemy for gravity in that shaft would not have existed for them, either. But would they have been lowered back to safety as the Hueber and her crew had been?
"I think your master believes you talk too much, Naka," said Jeter, but Jeter's eyes were gleaming, too. As soon as Sitsumi had turned back to his station Jeter's lips began to move. "See?" he said. "It isn't their machine guns these people fear. It isn't their bombs it's their motors! I wonder why...."
Eyer talked on softly, unbothered by Jeter's silence, knowing that Jeter wouldn't hear a word, that his partner had drawn into himself and was even now, perhaps, visualizing what they might encounter in the stratosphere. Eyer talked to give shape to his own thoughts.
Jeter's spine tingled. He felt he guessed in advance what was to come. Hadley went on. The world seemed to spin dizzily as Jeter listened. Out of all the madness only one thing loomed which served for the moment to keep Jeter sane. That was the altimeter, which registered twenty-five thousand feet. "The battle-wagon the U.S.S. Hueber was yanked bodily out of the water.
Both men realized that the wheels had sunk from sight while they had been delayed coming through the succession of doors that the plane had sunk until the invisible surface gripped the floor of the fuselage. Perspiration beaded the faces of both men. Eyer managed a ghastly grin. Jeter's brow was furrowed with frantic thought as he tried to imagine a way out.
Eyer's nose was bleeding and one eye was closed when the reception committee finally came to close quarters, smothered them by sheer weight of numbers, and made them prisoners. Jeter's right wrist was manacled to Eyer's left with a pair of ordinary steel handcuffs. Their weapons were taken away from them now.
