Salem International Airport-Salem, USA
"Thanks for the ride to the airport, Steve." Jack said as they stood at the terminal.
"My pleasure, Jack." Steve said. "Are you sure you don't want me to go with you? It's no problem and I know that Kayla would understand. I hate to see the two of you go through this alone."
Jack put his arm around Jennifer.
"Don't worry. Miss Horton and I can get through anything. Besides, you and Kayla will have your hands full taking care of Abigail."
Steve shook his head. "No way. My niece will have a ball staying with Stephanie. Kayla and I are happy to have Abby any time. You and Jennifer just go and take care of what needs to be taken care of."
"Flight 917 to Llanview now boarding at Gate 18"
Jack looked nervously at Jennifer. "Well, Miss Horton. That's us."
"All right." Steve said. "Well, keep us posted, okay? There are a lot of people in Salem who are praying for you, Jack."
Jack extended his hand. "Thank you, Steve."
"And don't worry. Everything will be fine." Steve said. "I'm sure this Dr. McBain will turn things around for you."
At Jennifer's concerned glance, Steve brushed a lock from her hair.
"What's that look for, huh?"
"What if it's not fine, Steve? I mean, what if..." Her voice broke and then trailed away.
"Come here." Steve said, hugging his sister-in-law. "Listen, Marcus wouldn't recommend someone that he didn't think was the best."
"Final boarding call for flight 917 to Llanview at Gate 18"
Steve let go of Jennifer. "You'd better go. You don't want to miss your flight."
"Thanks again, Steve." Jack said. "We'll call you when we find out something."
"I love you Jack." Steve said. He kissed Jennifer's cheek. "Don't worry. Everything will be just fine."
Jack smiled and took Jennifer's hand. "Okay, Miss Horton. Let's go to Llanview."
