12: Surprises

The Indianapolis Airport was a hell of a lot busier than I’d expected, though I guess that shouldn’t have been a surprise considering there was a major convention in town that was supposed to easily draw in a hundred thousand people if not more. There were a lot of Elassa fans throughout the country, all over the world, and they were all converging on this town in the middle of nowhere that happened to have a big convention center because of some sports game a few years back.

Though I guess it wasn’t entirely fair to call the place the middle of nowhere. The place was definitely a lot bigger than my hometown up in Wisconsin. It was even a hell of a lot bigger than the university town where I went to school. And from the looks of things at the airport pretty much everybody streaming through were people planning on going to the convention. There were a few people who were watching the people who were going to the convention with disbelief, but there weren’t many normals.

I was sure the TSA was having a field day with this particular crowd. Some people were walking around with obvious prosthetic elf ears on. Others had their convention badges out already even though we weren’t anywhere close to the convention center.

“Were not in Wisconsin anymore,” Samantha said.

I shrugged. “We’ve replaced one state covered in cornfields for another,” I said. “Not much difference as far as I’m concerned.”

Samantha smacked my shoulder. “Come on Jess? We’re two girls in the big city!”

“The big city?” I asked, looking around. Outside the windows there seemed to be a whole lot of nothing except for planes and runways. No tall buildings or anything in evidence.

“Well big enough,” Samantha said with a shrug. “Definitely bigger than anything we have in Wisconsin, that’s for sure!”

“I suppose you have a point there,” I said.

Samantha looked around. “So I know we’ve been busy trying to figure out how we’re going to get to the airport back home and everything, but it did you ever stop to think about how we were going to actually get to the hotel from the airport?”

I stopped and blinked. “No, actually I hadn’t thought about that at all.”

“So you mean I’m going to be getting a cab for us?” Samantha asked.

I turned and smiled. “I’d be ever so grateful if you did, because I definitely don’t have that kind of cash.”

Samantha rolled her eyes. “Well it’s not like I’m paying for it either if it’s my dad’s credit card. I don’t suppose he can be too mad anyways. His little girl being stranded at the airport sort of qualifies as an emergency, right?”

“Something like that,” I said.

We made our way out of the baggage claim and luckily nobody lost our bags on the flight down. That would have been a real pain in the ass, especially considering I’d stuffed my old con costume in there. Conlan and I were planning on going out in costume together and I don’t know what I would’ve done if they lost that bag.
