SIXTEEN

It was finally time to go, and Sam whistled to get the attention of everyone in the break room. “Okay, people,” he said, “it’s time to head for the airport. Roger has the bus out back, all ready to go. Grab your gear out of my office and let’s mount up.”

Everybody said goodbyes to those who were staying behind, then went to get their bags. Darcy walked along with Denny and even followed him to the bus, chatting with him for a final few moments.

“Well,” she said, “I hope I get to see you again sometime. Maybe, if you want, you could give me a call?”

Denny’s eyes lit up and he snatched out his phone. “I’d certainly like that, love,” he said, and then grinned as Darcy took his phone and put her number into his contact list.

“I know you probably don’t get to D.C. very often,” she said, “but call me anytime, whenever you can. At least give me a call when you get back, let me know you got home safely, okay?”

Still grinning, Denny promised that he would. Darcy handed his phone back and let her fingers linger on his for a moment before she turned and walked back inside.

Darren, of course, couldn’t let the opportunity to tease his friend go by. “Well, would you look at that?” he asked. “Did you see that, Sam? I think Denny might have actually met a girl he really likes.”

“You’ve got to be kidding,” Summer said. “Denny won’t ever settle down, that would be too much like growing up.”

“Yeah, really,” Jade said. “If Denny ever finds the right girl and gets married, I want to run a background check on her. You know, just to be sure she didn’t brainwash him or something. Denny’s the kind of guy who plans to play the field until he’s far too old to find his way to it.”

Sam didn’t say anything, but Indie noticed an amused expression on his face. She leaned close to him and whispered, “What?” Sam glanced at her but didn’t say anything. He let one eyelid droop in a wink, which she took to mean that he would tell her later.

The bus started moving and they were on the way to the airport. When they arrived, Roger drove right up to the charter flight gate so that their luggage could be loaded onto the plane, and a couple of luggage handlers hurried over to help. Five minutes later, they were all inside the big Gulfstream and getting comfortable as the pilot started up its engines.

Within another fifteen minutes, they were in the air and the big jet was banking toward the west. All twenty of them settled back in their seats and quite a few managed to drift to sleep. The flight would be short, taking only about an hour and a half, but Sam envied them the ability to shut themselves off so easily.

Because the flight was so short, the flight attendant barely had time to offer soft drinks. There was no meal served, but Indie did manage to talk her out of a bag of pretzels.
