I don’t pull the bike to a careening halt this time. I don’t gun it to catch up. I don’t do anything, at first. I’m too stunned to take any immediate action.
This shouldn’t be happening. We beat it. I got it right, the last time. No innocents killed, the tide of the war turned for the better. I did it right, finally, stopped the plane and walked away with Bucky at my side. So what are we doing here? Why has the loop begun again? It doesn’t make any sense. It’s no longer following its own set of rules- whatever ‘it’ is. The island, I guess.
I let go of the throttle and the bike slows on its own. I put a foot out as an afterthought, stopping the bike at the edge of the runway, and stare at the plane as it flies.
What more can I do? What is there to do differently? What do I do?
I don’t know. God help me, I don’t know.
