Plane Ride Home

Georgie

Georgie’s car drove her to the airport and to a small terminal on the outskirts of the field, and once again, she recognized the private terminal that private planes departed from. A lot of people were there already, and Rae and Wulfram’s heads stuck out above the crowd.

Georgie scanned again. She didn’t see Lizzy, but finding Lizzy in crowds was a difficult task on the best days. She looked for the hole in the crowd like an empty parking spot in a crowded row, but no dice.

She trotted over to Rae and Wulfram and asked, “Where’s Lizzy?”

Rae hugged her around the neck, hard, and Georgie squeaked a little.

Rae said, “I so glad you’re okay!”

“Well, yeah. But where’s Lizzy?”

Wulfram, ever the calm eye in the storm, glanced over the crowd, verifying that Lizzy was missing. Must be nice to have that eagle’s eye view from up there. “I don’t see her. I’ll confirm her whereabouts.”

He walked away to talk into his phone.

“I’m sure she’s fine,” Rae said. “There are four more cars that are still on the freeways.” She looked up, her bright auburn hair gleaming in the sunlight slanting in the windows. “I think this is our plane.” She ducked her head, embarrassed.

“Wow,” Georgie said.

“That’s what I keep saying. I’m afraid that Wulf is getting tired of hearing me going, ‘Wow,’ ‘Wow,’ every time something completely normal for him happens.”

Georgie laughed at her. “You seem to have recovered well from being shot at.”

Rae shrugged. “Just a normal Sunday on the Border. They weren’t even good shots.”

“No one was hurt?”

“That’s the word so far.”

Wulf walked back, as composed as ever. He tucked his cell phone in his pocket.

Rae asked him, “What’s wrong?”

“Lizbeth and Theophile are unaccounted for,” he said. “We have assurances that they are checking the hotel and environs. We won’t leave without them.”

Rae hugged him, but Georgie, ever the New England old money stock, said, “Thank you for the update.”

“My pleasure, Georgiana.”

“Quick question,” she said. “Did you ever know my old, previous last name?”

He smiled a cold, still smile. “I was aware of your name and some of your family’s problems before I hired you. I was not aware that you were acquainted with my sister. I shall have a more detailed discussion about that with her.”

“I’m making reparations,” Georgie said.

Wulfram nodded. “I’m aware of that.”

“You are?” She almost let her mouth drop open.

“It’s why I hired you.”

“Oh.” Her heart beat against her chest walls, and her cheeks burned hot.

“I’ll let you know when we have word of Lizbeth.”

“Thanks.” Georgie walked away on trembling legs to go sit down.

As she walked away, she heard Rae ask, “What was all that about?”

“A private matter,” Wulfram said, his deep voice even.

“Oh, then it’s in the vault. I’ll just have to ask her.”

Georgie heard that bizarre chuckle again that sounded almost like how The Dom would laugh, if The Dom ever laughed.

Georgie curled up with her arms around her knees in a chair and waited to board the plane. Her
