Kindle Notes & Highlights
Makayla feels numb as she replaces the diaper bag on the seat next to her. Did the flight attendant really think she’d hidden her own child inside her bag?
Jesus lady do you want everything searched or not
Tina swivels in her chair at the older field agent’s question. By “the kid,” Agent Pratt must mean three-month-old Liam.
Duh?
Did she really think I was asking where the bathroom was when I asked her to watch Liam?
Oh my god girl WE GET IT YOU DONT LIKE HER
“She’s lost her baby,” Jemma says. “Can you just let her look inside the bag?
This is a little insane they are letting her be a tyrant but also it’s a little insane that no one seems to care lmao
This is a very unusual situa—” “Unusual? Like I lost my purse? Someone’s taken my son! It’s more than unusual—he’s been kidnapped.”
She’s really getting on my nervessss
“I’m afraid he can’t come back here. It’s a safety issue.” Makayla blinks back the tears that blur her vision. “I don’t care. My son is missing,
GIRL SOME PEOPLE HIJACK PLANES!!!
She brings a hand to her mouth. Aubrey was right. They’re over northern Manitoba.
why would aubrey lie about the location of the plane LMAO
The last few years as a single mom have made her understand why people work out at ridiculous hours. Otherwise, you would never get it done.
I hate moms who act like no one else lives a life but them
This is ridiculous. Liam’s life is in danger, and I’m being told to sit here and keep calm. She unbuckles herself, gets up,
Oh my GOD
I can’t risk the lives of everyone on board to divert.” What about Liam’s life?
GIRL IF THERE IS A TORNADO THAT KILLS EVERYONE THAT INCLUDES THE HIDDEN BABY!!!!!!!
No, you’re not, Makayla thinks as he retreats toward the rear of the plane. How could they be helping when they don’t even believe Liam was on board?
What do you think YOU can do that THEY have not done
Makayla hadn’t remembered giving her full name to Britt when she accused the girl of knowing it.
Me neither but that’s because this book isn’t very good
“So, they are considering that Liam has been kidnapped.” At least they’re taking his disappearance seriously.
Nobody WASNT taking it seriously oh my GOD
“Like what?” “We need to find Liam.” “I know. What do you have in common?” The air deflates from her chest. This is so stupid.
We need to find Liam but only using the avenues *I* think we should use. Exhaust every option except the ones I don’t like.
Makayla unlatches her seat belt and stands from her seat. She’s not going to sit here like nothing has happened when Liam could be stuffed inside someone’s suitcase, suffocating.
OH MY GOD GIRL ENOUGH
Did he think it more likely they were targeted by a friend from her Tribeca mother’s group than someone who wants the millions of dollars he has access to?
ARE YOU STUPID???? LITERALLY WHY NOT???????
He wonders what the FBI isn’t telling him. Why aren’t they tearing that plane apart?
PLANES ARE NOT THAT BIG. STOP SAYING THIS LIKE ITS A SMALL TOWN AND THEY LOOKED IN ONE BUILDING
She and Lionel must’ve known Jack would suspect them—at least after he discovered the fraud yesterday. So she came here to convince him otherwise. Preying on him when he’s at his weakest.
The way everyone talks makes them sound a little bit like they’re hallucinating at best or conspiracy theorists at worst
I wasn’t hurting anyone, Makayla thinks. At least, not on purpose. And what about my baby? Isn’t his safety important?
You broke someone’s nose
Can you just chill out a LITTLE
The large man tilts his ski-masked head to the side and cracks a sadistic smile.
Aren’t you unable to see a mouth in a ski mask
“This passenger paid cash for his ticket two months ago. There’s a woman seated next to him, Jemma Neilson.”
Oh god I hate that makayla was right
I can’t believe how they’re treating you after Liam was taken while you were in the bathroom.
What an odd way to text lmao
She doesn’t remember telling Cori she was in the bathroom when Liam went missing.
Lmao???? What a lazily written bit of telling
The masked intruder’s mouth lifts into a proud grin. “Easy. I got in through the back maintenance entrance by posing as a food delivery guy for the workers doing the repairs in the unit down the hall.”
Hey man! Thanks for just laying out your evil plans! I really appreciate it!!!!!
They can’t be that stupid to think the FBI is going to let all the passengers go with no questions asked. Jack turns to the masked man at his right. “You won’t get away with this. If Liam is still missing when that plane lands, the FBI isn’t going to let anyone go until they find him.”
1) very repetitive
2) WHY ARE YOU GIVING THEM THE HEADS UP
that sends a knife into her ears.
lmao?
When she reaches them, Derek releases Makayla’s arm and takes one of the tanks, pulling a mask identical to Britt’s over his face. Makayla shakes her head. “Not until I get Liam!”
OH MY GODDDD
“We found a saw blade in the lavatory attached to what was made to look like an electric shaver.
I feel like. This shouldn’t be possible. Like surely planes are not that thin.
So far, both she and her male counterpart have done an expert job of keeping their heads down and away from the camera.
“Nothing we can use for facial recognition anyway. Both passengers in row fifteen managed to keep their faces away from the camera.”
thinking about Makayla Rossi restrained on that flight—treated like a criminal—after her baby was taken.
SHE WAS BREAKING PEOPLE’S NOSES!!!!!! STOP ACTING LIKE IT WAS JUST FOR FUN!!!!!!!!!!
Bringing up Lydia Banks’s memory disorder just slowed them down, and a pulse of regret moves through her. Would they have found Liam sooner if she hadn’t suspected his mother?
Okay real talk as much as I don’t like makayla I feel like you should’ve taken the idea of him being on the plane more seriously because that was the more immediate concern. If he was on the ground, you have some extra time.
Tina gapes at him. “What? How did they get a power tool like that on board?”
Another excellent point
As she’s lifted off the seat, Makayla feels weightless. She flails her arms for something to grab on to before she’s slammed against the seat cushion.
PUT YOUR FREAKING SEAT BELT ON FOR ONCE IN THIS GODFORESAKEN BOOK
“You can check as soon as we land. Get in the brace position.”
Look I hate makayla too but at this point isn’t it really quick to just open and look? Also this baby sleeps real hard if he’s in there and alive
This will all get sorted out. Hadn’t Cori used that same phrase in one of her texts?
It’s the Evil Catch Phrase
Anna’s chest constricts as she thinks of Derek falling out of the side of the plane while trying to help the mother of the missing baby. She guesses Miguel is thinking of him too. Derek couldn’t have been more than thirty-five.
And Makayla could not care less lmao
At least Derek didn’t suffer, she thinks; he would’ve been killed instantly upon impact. Still, she shudders to imagine his free fall to the ground. It would’ve been terrifying.
I think the fall counts as suffering
In a few moments, we are going to have our ground crews come out and inspect the airplane.
Now. You know there’s a hole in the wall.
She points to the bag. “You leave this to us. This plane is a crime scene, and you’re tampering with what could be evidence.”
Lmao
The reality of Liam going out the side of the plane with his abductors nearly causes her knees to buckle.
You have had this same realization like 12 times lady oh my GOD
even though she knows in the pit of her stomach that Liam went out the sawed opening of the plane along with his abductors.
yes I knew that the first time you said it
There’s no way he could’ve slept through that.
No you don’t understand this is a magic baby who sleeps through everything
Jack can’t help pitying the man, despite everything he did. His only daughter is dead, his wife of over forty years has left him, and he’ll live out the rest of his days at a federal prison—alone and disgraced.
Well perhaps he shouldn’t steal from people???
It’s taken months of therapy for her to deal with the guilt she felt for Derek’s death—and Liam’s abduction. Part of her will always feel responsible for what happened to the flight attendant, but she’s come to accept his death as an accident.
I mean it was definitely a little bit on you
