A quick glance onto the big electronic screen finds that there’s only one flight via Delta Airlines leaving for Australia in… 10 minutes Shit

Uncertainties and questions itch at the edge of my mind as I run towards the Delta desk I shove theh or any sort of logical consideration right now

Right now, I don’t knohy, I don’t kno, but I have to find Stevie

At the lineless grey desk of Delta Air Lines, the honey bun flight attendant is crisp and efficient with me

“I’er information”

I’ue when I catch a familiar face at another Delta desk ts over

“Harold,” I say, rushing over there, grinning wide

How fucking lucky am I? Harold,happily at the desk on United Airlines

“So, this is going to sound crazy,” I say He gives me a deadpan look

“Clayton,” he reminds me, “you are crazy”

I let ears

“So, there’s this girl And I’ht that she is no business leaving on I need to see her Just to say o No funny business”

A bit of a pause

“You realize, that this is the definition of funny business?” Harold co his back brows I press the flats of my palms onto the linoleum counter

“Okay Maybe it is All I know is that you have to let ht Please”

“I don’t have to,” Harold points out, leaning his hairy elbow on the desk and putting his head on his hand, “but when you snuck ative reinforcement were, it saved my ass I probably wouldn’t be in this job if it weren’t for you Hang on a sec”

Apass

“I’ll probably be suspended for this, but you can thank me later,” he says

I’ off when he calls after h, I’ll kill you”
