Chapter 15 - Amber's Trip, Paris, and Back Home Mike's phone buzzed as he sat at his desk. It had a simple text message, "Download file from ur cloud mailbox. XOXOX Amber".

Chapter 2 -- First Time "Yeah, uh, whoa! There's another" I said, as the jet dropped a hundred feet in seconds, hitting another wind shear.
