Nikita Oh swore as she tried to dig her laptop out of her bag. Airline legroom just seemed to get smaller and smaller, especially in Economy class, and good luck getting anything better on a government budget. She hissed as she smacked herself in the shin pulling it out, awkwardly balancing it on her knees, trying to avoid the dirty looks of the passenger next to her as her elbow knocked into his, taking over the armrest. She hadn't expected a window seat, but upon arriving at the gate, she found her seat had been changed. She supposed these things just happened sometimes, and she didn't have the strength to argue, not at her age.
She brushed her hair, which was platinum blonde, not gray, thank you very much, and started hunting and pecking at the keyboard. She remembered when being on an airplane meant you weren't expected to work, but those days were decades past. Her eyes caught a blinking notification from her coworker, asking her if she had managed to finish that spreadsheet yet. She typed:
It was probably nothing...but she just couldn't let it go. The threads were there...all she needed to do was unravel them. Nurses would report getting a new job offer, then vanish off the face of the earth. Suppliers reported an increase in orders for medical supplies, but none of the existing hospitals had increased their demand. And there was a slight, but noticeable, increase in missing persons cases...
It was probably nothing. But Nikita couldn't let it go. She eyed her file on one Dr. Malphren. It would be crazy...but Dr. Malphren *had* been admitted to an insane asylum...
Second, she would never reach her destination.
"The 51-year old woman had apparently fallen asleep before suffering a stroke, and was found unresponsive in her seat by the flight crew upon departure. She was rushed to a nearby hospital, but was announced dead on arrival. Nikita Oh was a lifetime public servant, with a 33-year long career at the Federal Health Bureau. She will be remembered for a lifetime of hard work, starting as a secretary before steadily working her way up the ladder, eventually attaining the role of assistant regional manager. In other news..."
The screen filled with static, seemingly glitching out. As it started again, Nikita was able to properly focus on the broadcast, watching with mounting terror. The screen showed a newscaster, along with stock footage of an airport and a simple shoulders-up photograph, the you see on ID cards. Nikita's terror mounted as she realized the face was her own. The broadcast continued, relentless.
"Tragedy at the airport today, as a airline passenger was found to have died mid-flight. The 51-year old woman had apparently fallen asleep before suffering a stroke..."
"N-no..." Nikita whispered. She would have screamed if you had the strength, but it was all she could manage. "It can't be..."
The grinning Doctor leaned in closer, until her face was inches away from Nikita's terrified one.
"Shall we give you the tour?"
