Kevin gave the signal for the pilot to start the engine and taking his cue, he started doing his job. The side crew door closed slowly and when it was shut tight, Kevin sat and buckled himself to the seat. The propellers started rotating and the side wheels retracted. The helicopter rose up slowly and in an instant, it leaned towards the front taking everyone's breath away in fear. But the next moment, the helicopter stabilized itself and it started flying beautifully.
Everybody sighed a breath of relief, but they sat stiffly in their seats not daring to move even an inch. Kevin chuckled seeing them and he tried to ease their nerves. This was the first time they were riding in a military helicopter and they were bound to get nervous. "Don't worry folks. Our pilot here values his life as well as others'. No harm will come to you, I promise."
