Chapter 27

The tabloids had a field day over me be expelled for the rest of the school year. Good boy gone bad was the theme. Then some led with, “Bad boy lives up to expectations.”

My fan clubs sent letters by the ten of thousands. I didn’t even try to read them. A team at the office sampled them and found that I still had my base support.

A few even sent pictures where they had dyed their faces blue. I hope it was food coloring. I had been told the Chancellor wouldn’t be making any public appearances for over a month.

I felt a little bad about the whole deal. He didn’t deserve being dyed a bright blue. It would be okay if he was a fan of Everton F.C.

I felt even worse about not hitting the Cambridge Chancellor, now he deserved being dyed blue, he hadn’t reined in his pie-throwing thugs.

I had been told that I should show remorse for my actions. The only remorse I felt was in hitting the wrong guy.

I had an appointment at the aircraft leasing firm. They had my jet configured for my business trip. I needed to do a walkthrough and give an okay on the final design.

I checked in at their front desk. The receptionist gave a little squeak when I announced myself. This could have nothing to do with my picture on the front page of the tabloid she was reading.

At least the Managing Director didn’t have one in his office. I wouldn’t have made a bet on the contents of his private loo.

We walked out to the airfield to the plane while he extolled the virtues of what I was about to see.

The first thing that jumped out was the fact that my plane was painted in British Racing Green with black trim and my coat of arms on the tail above the tail number.

It looked sharp.

“I thought you were going to lease this out to other people when I’m not using it.”

“We figured it would take a while for this idea to catch on, and the paint job wasn’t that much in the whole scheme of things. Besides, we think you are going to love it so much that you will want it reserved for your exclusive use.”

“I would like to tour it by myself to form an opinión.”

“No problem, Sir Richard, let me know if you have any questions.”

At the top of the jet stairs, I looked into the first compartment. In the front of the cabin were two aisles across loos. They appeared to be larger than those found on normal commercial aircraft. I liked that as I had a hard time using those as to my size.

I took the opportunity to look at the flight deck. It was different from those I had seen previously. It was an extended versión with curtained bunk beds on one side and a crew lounge on the other.

I inquired as to why and was told on extended trips such as the Pacific there would be two flight crews in rotation.
