The key bounced off her chest and landed on the floor in front of her. Crystal stooped to pick it up, and as she put it in her pocket, he asked her if she knew how to fly a helicopter. She wanted to say no, but she was afraid that he would get angry, so she nodded and said that she did. Anyway - she thought - I had seen pilots on television. It looks easy enough. That being said, a licensed pilot seemed preferable to her, and she said so.
"Are you saying that you don't know how to fly a helicopter?" Nathan demanded angrily.
"I c-can…" Crystal replied. "But I'm not very skilled at it."
Nathan gave her a strange look, and then he laughed weirdly. It seemed that he knew that she could not fly a helicopter and that he was trying to embarrass her. "Aren't you afraid that you will crash?" he asked. He took a step forward, and when she took two steps away from him, he sneered. "Why are you afraid of me? Are you afraid that I won't let you go?"
