Phones continued recording. The livestream count soared as thousands of viewers tuned in.
Marcus’s voice came again, firm but controlled. “I’ll review this personally. Right now, I want you both off this aircraft.”
The captain stammered. “Sir, we were following standard procedure—”
Marcus cut in gently but decisively. “There is no procedure that justifies disrespect.”
