I know this chapter is short. The next one shouln't be as short.
Chapter 6 – The Plane
Finally getting through security, they made their way to the terminal. They arrived with five minutes to spare. At the gate, Grissom handed the flight attendant their boarding passes and they made their way down to the plane. "We just made it. Now that's what I call timing."
"So Gris, you didn't think we'd make it huh?"
"I did, but I thought we'd be here just a little bit earlier."
They boarded the plane with Sara in the lead. She stopped at a row which was completely empty, grateful that the flight might not be completely full. Having all three seats for the two of them might come in handy later on.
Seeing this was where Sara has chosen for them to sit, Grissom put his carry-on in the overhead compartment and grabbed Sara's to store next to his. "Lady's first," he said, pointing to the row of seats.
"You can have the window seat Grissom. I'll take the middle." She walked a few steps past the row so Grissom could get in.
"I thought you liked having the window seat?" he asked, as he scooted over to his seat. Noticing the plane didn't look full, he began to wonder why Sara was going to sit next to him in the middle seat when the aisle seat would more than likely be empty.
"I do like having the window seat. But this time I feel like having the middle seat. Plus, it will be easier for you to rest if you have the window seat. You can rest your head on the window." She smiled at Grissom.
"So, you don't plan on sleeping then huh?" he said as he located the seatbelt.
"I might, but I'm right in the middle of a great book. I may just read for most of the flight." After laying her wet jacket over the back of the empty seat next to her, she settled in next to Grissom. Feeling a slight breeze on her face, she reached up and closed both her vent and Grissom's. No need to have cold air blowing on them if they were soaking wet. She sat back down and buckled her seatbelt.
