Danger+Danger

"Air India Flight 3804 has arrived on Gate B12," came the announcement.

I made my way to the aeroplane. Happiness was filled in my heart because I was going to visit my parents after a long period of 5 years. I entered the cabin and took my seat close to the aisle. 

A few minutes later a tall man with elegant taste and a very muscular body came and sat beside me. He was wearing sunglasses and walked in a very unmannerly way. Although he seemed rich, he did not seem to have the basic manners and kept looking here and there as if he was abnormal. He bumped into a couple of seats before he arrived at his own seat.

"What a weird man! "I thought to myself.

The plane took off and soon we were cruising at about 28000 feet. The world below seemed so beautiful from the window! Below a thick layer of clouds lay the so beautiful land that God had made. My heart became full of joy and I peacefully dozed off to sleep. I was dreaming of a beautiful vacation by the sea when everything suddenly became dark-  

"Sit down there!"

I immediately woke up from my nap and saw the man who was sitting beside me, had taken his place near the door and was holding a pistol in his hand. The pistol was aimed at one of the passengers. Everybody seemed to be frightened as if they had seen a ghost. I immediately understood the situation.

"We are hijacked!" I whispered to myself.

The man went into the cockpit and I heard a shot. The captain of the plane was dead. The co-pilot seemed to be the only one in charge. The plane slowly started descending and soon landed at an airport the name of which I was unaware. 

I managed to hear what the man was making the pilot say-"I need the sum of 3 million or consider the 300 lives on board dead. One has already suffered his fate."

For the next few hours, nothing special happened. Occasionally, the door of the plane was opened and a victim was killed and thrown out of the aircraft. I seemed to be a bit behind in the list of casualties that would occur on the day and I thanked God for that.

When about three-five had passed, I saw a few people bringing a box into the cabin accompanied by a few officers. The man was closely watching their activity though his head was moving here and there. 

I guessed that the box had the money that the man desired. I hoped that we would be let off the plane after the transaction was done and became a bit relaxed.

Suddenly one of the officers pulled out his gun from his pocket and shot the man in the chest.

"Aaah!!"The man groaned in pain.

In less than a few minutes, the man lay dead on the ground.

"Are you all dumb??" shouted the police officer to all of us.

"Why? "I asked, taken aback.

"The lunatic was clearly colourblind. All that colourblind people see is light and darkness. You should have known it the moment you saw his glasses and his abnormal behaviour when he was walking. The glasses are worn by only those who have some problem with their eyesight." 

"Well, that took me by surprise!" I said still relieved that God had shown mercy to me and put me out of this terrible situation.

"Where are we now?" I stammered.

The officer smiled and said," You are in Afghanistan and we are Legion, the biggest terrorist organization in the whole country. Now you all will be imprisoned and as a penalty for setting you free, we will demand 300 billion from your country!"
