As soon as she arrived at the airport she got a shock when she checked the departures board.
The display said that her flight had been delayed by an hour; a whole hour! In an agitated state, she thought, how does a plane get delayed for an hour? Was it some technical issue that required some last minute maintenance? Did they have a problem with a passenger that held the thing up? She didn’t know. She only knew that it couldn’t have come at a worse time. She felt her whole body trembling as she went looking for a seat that had a direct view of a clock. She settled down and tried to calm herself by checking all of her travel documents again. It wasn’t working. Her hands were shaking and she felt a cold sweat on her neck and forehead. She attempted to dab herself with a tissue without drawing too much attention to herself.
She checked the time again and squeezed her eyes shut. She took a really deep, slow breath. She told herself… just get real!
It’ll be days before they discover his body…
