Peter chugged his way out of the parking lot. “Now she’s purring, she’ll be fine.” He patted the dash.
“I can see it will be hard for you to say goodbye when it’s time to leave.”
“A small price to pay for bringing Charlotte home.”
“You think we will?”
“Will, I know it’s hard when it’s personal, but there’s no point thinking any other way. We remain positive until we have reason to believe differently.”
“You’re right. I’m really glad you came.”

Their first stop was BPT Airlines. Antonio wouldn’t keep Charlotte there for long, but if she passed through, someone would have seen her.

“You’ve got ten minutes.”

She didn’t appear fazed by his abrupt departure, so he hurried into the nearest hanger in search of the most important-looking person he could find.
He spotted a man in a nice suit walking through the hanger with a clipboard.
“Excuse me, sir?” Will stopped him.
“Yes?”

“I do. You’re American?”
“Yeah. I’m a mechanic, and I’m supposed to be meeting a jet here to have a look over her, but I’m late.”
“And?”
