"Here you go Ms. Carter, welcome back", Michonne takes her passport back from the Immigration agent and places it back in her knapsack; grabs a pair of sunglasses and begins to walk through the airport with her suitcase toward the ticket window for Greyhound.
As she walks through Atlanta International she inconspicuously looks for the various cameras set about the airport casually trying to avoid its view. The corridor leading to the bus terminal seems dim and extremely long; the coldness of the light gray cement wall adds to the eeriness of her journey now that she's back. About half way through the corridor; she notices two people walking, one directly behind the other. Both are about to walk past her.
The first person, an older woman dragging behind her a royal blue outdated square suitcase. Then next person is a middle aged man dressed in a dark gray suit carrying a small black briefcase.
Michonne glances over her shoulder once the two strangers walk past her; she was already nervous about being back in the U.S. but, the look of the middle aged man in the suit only increased her sense insecurity.
Almost to the end of the corridor she sees another sign for the bus terminal; unfortunately she notices the video camera adjacent to the overhead sign too late. Video camera just captured a full on view of her.
She quickly makes a beeline to the ladies room to change clothes. Once in the stall she quickly begin to change in a jeans, a tan short sleeve shirt that has "Il est trop tard", written across the front and back, sneakers and a Yankees baseball cap that Adesanya's maid packed for her. She rummages through the rest of the suitcase and grabs her Samsung tablet and a track phone and places it in her knapsack.
Just as she's about to zip up the suitcase she remembers that her most valuable possession was still inside. So she begins to frantically search for it; the one item that she'd rather have more then anything else in the world. The more she looks the more panicked she becomes until she hers the clatter of wooden toy keys hit the floor.
She grabs the toy keys with great care and holds them to her quivering lips; as though the keys were kissing her back; but she's forced to snap out of the daze when she hers someone entering the rest room.
Michonne stuffs everything back in the suitcase then stands to look at the suitcases contents realizing there's nothing else in the suitcase that she wants anymore. The only things in it were some clothes that that woman packed; and the memory of her time in Togo. She leaves opens the stall and with her knapsack and leaving behind the suitcase and the memories.
Before she leaves the restroom she stops in front of the full length bathroom mirror to look herself over one last time. She removes the baseball cap in order to use one of her locs to wrap the rest in a ponytail. She puts the cap and her sunglasses back on and leaves bathroom for the bus terminal.
Once she finds the bus displaying her destination she waits in line with other people to board. Finally able to board the bus she does a quick survey of who's sitting where and also to see if anyone is watching her or not. She walks towards the back and sits down in the last corner sit by the window.
The bus driver turns the 32 inch flat panel TV on that's displayed behind him for the passengers to enjoy. What appears on the screen is the Aljazeer channel. The ticker rolling across the bottom of the screen says, "India, China, Nigeria, Bangladesh and the Democratic Republic of Congo." A female reporter states that the President and Congress have agreed to place an indefinite holds on all in coming international flights until the outbreak has been contained.
Michonne pulls her sunglasses down some to see the screen clearly; her jaw nearly drops to her lap as she watches the chaos on screen. People are running away from the sick in Bagladesh. Then the channel shows a city in DaLiang Shan area of Si Chuan province in China; soldiers are gunning down the sick and healthy alike as they urgently try to leave the area.
She places her sunglasses back on her face and turns her head to look out of the window as the bus begins to pull away. As she watches the various people standing and sitting on the benches at the bus depot; the last person she sees on the bus platform is the man in the same man in the dark gray suit with the small black briefcase; he scouts the passengers in the window seats of Michonne's bus.
In an effort to avoid being noticed by the man she pulls her baseball cap down a little more to cover her face however, she forgets that bus has tinted windows making is impossible for the man to see inside anyway.
Michonne's paranoid and with good reason, she knows and also has the evidence to prove that the sudden outbreak of the dead in West Africa eighteen months ago (and soon the rest of the world); was due to a mandatory inoculation by one the largest pharmaceuticals organization on the planet. They were giving these immunizations to the masses in the poorest areas in the world. Telling people that its' an "all-in-one" cure for five deadliest illnesses within each area. In addition, the W.H.O and the W.T.O. had given these corporations complete access to areas in world with the greatest natural resources but, the people in these areas were also the most impoverished; Togo was one of first of those locations.
It's taken Michonne 18 months to get back to states. During her time away she's had to bare witness to man kinds need for power, expansion and destruction that will soon engulf the entire planet; placing the world and its inhabitants on the path of PNR, (point of no return).
