Chapter Two: Travel
Whitney grabbed his bag from his room, went up to the surface, and signed out. He walked about a mile and caught a cab to the airport. Fordman entered the airport, and waited in line to purchase a ticket.
"Excuse me, Mam, do you have flights going to any city, in Kansas, today," Whitney asked.
"Yes, sir, we have a direct flight to, Witchatall Falls, Kansas," the woman behind the counter told him.
"Ok I will take it, ticket for one, in coach," Whitney said.
"Yes, sir," the lady said. He handed over the credit card, and his Military ID.
"You're a Marine?" The woman asked.
"Yes, Mam," Whitney said. She handed him his ID, card, and a ticket.
Whitney noted, the plane left at 1400 hours. It is now 1200 hours. The next two hours he went through the necessary steps to get to his gate. Without any delay they were headed down the runway. After arriving in Wichita Falls he caught a bus to Smallville. Whitney asked his mom to pick him up from the bus stop.
"Whitney honey! I have missed you so much," Mrs. Fordman said as she squeezed him.
"Hay, Ma I missed you too," Whitney said returning the hug.
When they got to the Fordman house. Whitney ran inside, dropped his stuff at the foot of the stairs, grabbed his keys, thanked his mother for picking him, and ran out again.
