An Irregular Ferry Flight. Unlike
Queenie,
Maddie didn’t have to prepare or wait—she just got her assignment and knew she’d be ferrying Queenie around. It was just an ordinary day for her.
Jamie and
Michael were supposed to fly out that night (their code names all came from
Peter Pan; Jamie went by John). The narrator thinks that telling this story feels like the end of
Romeo and Juliet; she just wants to tell Romeo to put the poison down, but he never does.
