being away from them became unbearable since her destination was only an hour’s flight from home.
She checked herself and her bags in and proceeded to the boarding gate. When she boarded the plane, she was welcomed by a plum stewardess who directed her to her seat. She put her laptop with its laptop bag in the overhead compartment and took her window seat. She buckled up her seat belt and watched the in flight safety video as the plane begun to taxi on the run way. As the plane took off she looked out through the window and couldn’t help but wonder what the journey ahead had in store for her. Little did she know that her life was about to be turned completely upside down.
CHAPTER 2
The elderly man who had been mopping the floor at the airport terminal quickly dropped the mop as he saw the plane ascend in to the air. He swiftly walked over to the line of payphones situated opposite the coffee shop at the terminal. He took off his yellow rubber mopping gloves and pushed a few coins into the coin slot. He waited to hear the dial tone before he punched in the telephone number. It took a couple of seconds for the ringing tone to start. It rung twice before the masked voice at the end of the line said
“Hello”
“It’s me” the elderly man said.
“Did she get on the plane?” the other voice asked in a calm yet cold tone.
