I'm glad you liked that part. That was one of those vignettes that popped into my mind after I'd written the scene, but it was worth it go to back and redo it.

The airplane phone rang, even as I felt the plane begin its descent. “Mr. Schluter, Mr. Jorgens would like to speak with you when we land,” the copilot said after I answered it.

Buzz is dead. No need to keep you hanging on that one.
