Chapter 8 - Ghosts of the PastOver the next few weeks, news of the "Janitor Pilot" spread throughout the aviation community, but Marcus stayed focused on his new role. He restructured the entire safety protocol at Apex Global, ensuring no pilot was ever pushed beyond safe limits again.
One afternoon, Victoria visited the airfield with a surprise. Sitting in the rear seat of her car was a nine-year-old boy with dark wavy hair and curious eyes.
"Dad!" Ethan yelled, bouncing out of the car and running into Marcus's arms.
"Hey, buddy! What are you doing here?" Marcus laughed, swinging his son up in a hug.
"Ms. Victoria brought me!" Ethan said excitedly, pointing at the massive white Gulfstream behind them. "She said you're a real pilot! Is that true? Did you fly that big airplane?"

"Yeah, buddy," Marcus said softly, his chest swelling with pride. "Your dad used to be a pilot... and he's flying again."
