Chapter Five

Mr. and Mrs. Jansen put down the suitcases they were carrying. Mrs. Jansen looked at her watch and began tapping her fingers on her handbag again. Aunt Molly took some more popcorn from the bag.

“You’re hungry, right?” Eric asked Aunt Molly.

“Yes, I never get enough to eat on an airplane.”

“Well, if you’re hungry, Simone must be hungry, too. She’s probably in one of the restaurants eating.”

Cam, Eric, and Aunt Molly rushed over to the Greens. “We know where to find Simone,” Eric told them.

“Aunt Molly just got off the same flight and she’s real hungry,” Cam said.

“And I even brought along something to eat on the airplane. I had a buttered roll in my handbag,” Aunt Molly said.

“We think Simone must be hungry, too. We’ll probably find her in one of the restaurants.”

Charles Green said, “You may be right. Let’s go and look.”

“No, we have to stay right here,” Ida Green said. “I’ve asked them to repeat the announcement, this time in French. I hope Simone hears it. And if she does, I want to be here to meet her.”

“We have to go home now,” Mrs. Jansen told Cam, Eric, and Aunt Molly. Then she said to the Greens, “I’m sure you’ll find Simone.”

“We can’t leave now,” Cam told her mother.

Mrs. Jansen whispered, “But I have to get home. You know that. And you know why.”

“What’s that? Why do you have to get home?” Aunt Molly asked.

“Oh, I have some things to do,” Mrs. Jansen said.

“We don’t live far from the airport. I’ll take you home now,” Mr. Jansen told his wife. “Then I’ll come back and pick up Molly, Cam, and Eric.”

“And while you’re gone, we’ll find Simone,” Eric said.

Mr. Jansen looked at his watch. “I’ll be back at 3:00. I’ll be at the main entrance.”

Mr. and Mrs. Jansen walked toward the exit. Mr. Green showed the photograph of Simone to Cam and Eric. Cam looked at it, blinked her eyes and said, “Click.”

Eric explained to Mr. Green, “That click helps Cam to remember the picture.”
