CHAPTER FOUR: AN EMBARRASSING MOMENT
When the plane landed, Eve was one of the last few people to leave the plane. Consequently, she was up close and personal when two
luggage handlers ran screaming from the cargo hold. Realizing what this probably meant, a blush rose on Eve's face. What a thing to be
happening now, with these people around who barely knew her.
"What do you suppose that's all about?" Undertaker asked Kane. Kane merely shrugged his shoulders in response. These two had arrived
before Eve and had no idea they'd been flying with a snake on board.
Eve's face grew hotter at the question, hotter still when Edge and Christian began to chuckle as she made a bee-ligne for the cargo hold's
access port. They'd asked her about her snake on the way over and had guessed he'd just escaped again.
Others wondered why Eve was headed to the cargo hold and most began to follow at a slower pace.
Eve reached the ramp and let out a sharp, piercing whistle as she walked up the ramp. "Yo, Houdini, let's get this show on the road!"
Houdini slithered from between two secured suitcases several feet from his cage, making his way over to her. With a sigh that was part
frustration, part annoyance, and part I-love-you-anyway, Eve reached down to pick him up and drape him about her shoulders. She'd just
bring him straight out without trying to get his cage - the sooner she got out, then the sooner the bag boys could get back to finishing their
task of unloading the bags.
When Eve walked out of the plane, she got more reactions over the colour of her snake than the fact that she had one. Several actually got into a discussion on the shade, the two most popular choices being blueberry cheesecake and slightly-darker-than blueberry yoghurt. Eve was still embarrassed over the whole deal, but not as much.
