Earlier on the plane
"I just want my nuts" Lucy whined to Mary as the flight attendant walked past her again for the third time completely ignoring her.
"Oh just forget about your nuts we are almost in Buffalo. Why aren't you more excited?"
"Don't get me wrong or anything I'm happy to be spending the weekend with you and I'm grateful that you sprung for my ticket and everything but I just don't feel like getting excited" Lucy replied leaning back in her seat.
"Why not?"
Lucy laughed "I know this is going to sound really stupid but for some odd reason I feel like I'm being set up here"
Mary laughed right along with her "Luce... I swear I'm not setting you up! You told me this trip has to be completely Kevin free and I'm bound and determined to make sure it is" she replied nervously looking out the airplane window.
"You promise?"
"Cross my heart"
A few minutes of silence went between the sisters before Lucy decided to ask a question.
"Umm...Mary I know this is going to sound dumb but what airport are we flying into?"
"Buffalo—"Mary started to say before the Captain interrupted and spoke over the speakerphone to let the passengers know that they would be arriving in Buffalo in less than 15 minutes and that he was turning the seatbelt sign back on.
"What airport?" Lucy tried asking again.
"Buffalo International Airport"
"Are you kidding me?"
Mary looked curiously at Lucy "What does it matter? As long as we land that's all I care about"
Lucy glared at Mary and crossed her arms "I'm not happy about this you know"
Mary looked confused "happy about what?"
"Us landing at BIA"
"Why not?"
Lucy gave her a long, cold hard stare "I'll tell you why not! Kevin Kinkirk works at BIA" she replied letting her voice get a little louder.
"He does?" Mary questioned.
"Yes, he does and if I see him while we are at that airport I'm never talking to you again Mary Camden" Lucy replied angrily.
Mary's eyes widened a little bit larger than she wanted them to. She turned looking out the window only praying to God that somehow Kevin wasn't at the airport and that Lucy wouldn't find out about the set up.
---------------------------------------
Fifteen minutes later
Watching the one piece of red luggage go around and around the empty luggage carousel was something Mary was not enjoying.
"How many times are you going to watch that bag go around?" Mary asked cautiously towards Lucy.
"As many times as I have to until it turns into my bag, the bag that they lost" Lucy replied angrily, glaring at Mary as she spoke.
"You know what? I don't really like this airline" Mary replied.
"So why did you fly them then?"
"Because they had a 2 for 1 deal" Mary replied matter of factly.
"So my ticket didn't cost you anything?" Lucy exclaimed looking twice as upset.
"Right"
"So then why have I been thanking you the entire trip?"
Mary shrugged her shoulders "because you're nice?" she suggested.
Lucy's mouth dropped opened for a second before she set her jaw in an angry position "Watch my bag while I go to the lost luggage counter and beg for my suitcase back" she replied walking away.
"Okay"
Mary stood next to her suitcase and Lucy's black bag when she started to riffle through her own purse looking for her cell phone.
That's when she caught sight of what time it was on her watch. They had spent 15 minutes too long at the baggage claim area and were supposed to meet Ben behind the security checkpoint in less than 5 minutes.
Grabbing her own suitcase and carryon bag she walked forgetting about Lucy's black bag that was next to her because she was to busy thinking that she had to call Ben and tell him they were running late.
---------------------------------------
Walking up to the lost luggage counter was no treat for Lucy...especially since she found out that her sister didn't even pay for her ticket.
"Excuse me miss? The airline lost my lug—"Lucy started to say before the women behind the desk practically threw a pad of paper and a pen at her.
"Fill the top, middle and sign at the bottom, then on the next page put your initials at the top, bottom and the middle and then sign at the bottom again." the women told her in a mono-tone voice.
"Whatever" Lucy mumbled under her breath as she started to fill out the paperwork.
It took her not even 5 minutes to complete the paperwork when she handed it to the women behind the window and was given a ticket with a number on it.
"What's this for?" Lucy asked holding the ticket in her hand looking confused.
"This is your claim ticket number. When we find luggage and it matches the description you have given us we will ticket it with this number and will call you to let you know when we find your luggage"
"Fine" Lucy replied shortly walking away from the counter and towards Mary who was looking at her self in a compact mirror.
"Are you ready to go yet Luce?" she asked snapping the mirror shut and stuffing it back into her purse.
"I've been ready to leave" Lucy replied bending down to pick up her black bag that was suppose to be next to Mary but couldn't find it.
"Where's my bag?"
"Lost...remember?"
"No, not that bag...the bag that I asked you to watch"
"What bag?" Mary replied looking confused.
"My black bag that I asked you to watch while I went to beg for the luggage that they lost" Lucy replied through clenched teeth.
"Oh"
"Is that all you have to say is oh?" Lucy asked putting her hands on her hips.
"Well not really...I'm sorry Luce I had to go and make a call...I wasn't gone for more than a minute"
Lucy looked pissed and was about to say something to Mary when she spotted a Airport Security guard to her right and changed her direction, walking over to him.
"Excuse me" she said sweetly "have you seen a small black bag?"
"The police took it" he replied.
"You're not the police?"
"No I'm airport security; any bag that is left unattended is confiscated and destroyed by the matter of national security"
Sucking her cheeks in from anger, she gently blew them out before she glared at the security guard "I highly doubt makeup is a matter of national security...so can I please have my bag back?"
"No"
She started to get annoyed "Yes"
"No"
"Give me my bag back" she yelled stepping closer to him.
"Miss please step back"
"No...not unless you give me my bag back" she replied crossing her arms and looking at him smugly.
"I told you before miss the police took it and they destroyed it now please step back" he replied.
"You're not going to give me my bag back are you?"
"No I'm not" he replied.
Lucy turned around and stomped back over to Mary and started complain loudly "doomed, doomed, doomed, this entire trip is doomed! This airport is doomed, the airline is doomed- - -"and stopped when Mary's hand clamped over her mouth.
"Shut up Lucy!" she hissed looking around to see if anyone had heard her.
The security guards head had quickly snapped up and looked over towards the two girls and grabbed his radio and pressed a button.
Within a matter of seconds three security guards were running down towards the baggage area and surrounded the two girls.
"Excuse me miss? Please come with us" one of the several security officers spoke to Lucy.
"Excuse me?" she replied glaring at him "what for?"
"It's a matter of National Security miss...you threatened this airport and your flight"
Lucy turned to Mary and gave her a long, cold stare "Look what you did now Mary...good god can't anything go right? If I wasn't in an airport I'd kill you right now"
A security guard stepped up and grabbed Lucy's arm "Miss if I were you I'd stop talking now" he replied.
Lucy snapped her arm away from the security guard "don't touch me" she replied at the security guard.
"Miss I'm going to have to ask you to come with me"
"What for?"
"Matter of national security miss...you threatened your plane, this airline and even your trip miss and we take these kinds of threats seriously"
"I'm not a damn terrorist if that is what you are getting at!" Lucy yelled at him.
Mary took a step closer to Lucy and grabbed her arm "Lucy...just shut up"
Lucy shook her head "No I'm not going to shut up! They are implying that I'm a terrorist...Me Lucy Camden whose father is a minister is part of the Al Qaeda chapter of Glenoak".
The security guard looked bewildered for a moment before he reached behind his back and grabbed a pair of handcuffs.
Lucy's eyes widen and she looked back at Mary who could do nothing but shrug her shoulders.
"Miss I'm going to have to escort you to our security office so our police officer can question you some more" he told her walking behind her.
"Your...not going to put those things on me...are you?" Lucy questioned eyeing the handcuffs.
"By all means...I should have done it a few minutes ago but I gave you the benefit of the doubt, but if you utter one more word miss I'm afraid I'll have to place you under arrest"
"Undermmmffff" Lucy started to say before Mary clamped a hand over her mouth "I said shut up Lucy".
And with that the security officers picked up Mary's bag and their purses and lead them towards the security office where the police officer would be waiting for them.
---------------------------------------
Ben was still pacing back and forth since Mary called him almost 25 minutes ago. She had called to tell them that they had arrived and was waiting for Lucy's nonexistent luggage to arrive.
He looked at his watch and saw that it was now just under 30 minutes when he went up to a security guard that was watching passengers walk through the metal detectors.
"Excuse me"
The security guard looked up at him "Sir do you have your ticket?"
"Ticket?" Ben repeated looking confused
"Yes, your ticket the one that you need to get on the plane" he told Ben sarcastically.
"No, I don't have a ticket I'm waiting for someone"
"Oh, well sir you are going to have to step back and go behind that red line over there" The security guard replied pointing out the line for Ben to see.
"I already know where the red line is I wanted to know if you could help me with something" Ben snapped back.
Getting a little frustrated the security guard summand another officer to come to where he was standing at.
"What do you need Joe?" the other security guard who's name bag said Rick on there asked.
"You think you could help this gentleman with a problem...BEHIND the red line?" Joe said loudly hoping he was getting the idea through Ben's thick head.
Rick gave Joe a quick smirk "Sure" he replied grabbing Ben's arm and shoving him back across the red line.
A little startled from what just happened Ben scratched his head "Hey! Wait I'm trying to find my brother...he's an officer here"
Rick looked and Ben and started to laugh "An officer? What kind of an idiot do you think I am sir? Like my partner said before STAND behind the red line and no one will get into trouble"
Ben felt ready to pull his hair out of his head, all he wanted to do was get Mary and Lucy and get the hell out of this airport before his brother caught onto what he was doing and kill him for it.
Since he was defeated he sat down at one of the empty benches and leaned against the wall and prayed that nothing else would go wrong.
---------------------------------------
Lucy felt humiliated walking down the hallway with a bunch of security officers walking behind her and Mary who was towing all of her luggage with them.
Following the security guard in front of her he walked into a small square room with no windows and just a table and three chairs.
"You" he pointed to Lucy "Sit here and you" he turned towards Mary "can either sit in here or you can wait outside on the bench by the entrance"
"I'll stay here" Mary replied setting her bag down next to the chair she was about to sit in.
"I'll be back and no funny stuff either" the guy replied as he closed the door behind him.
"Great, thanks a lot Luce are you trying to get us into extreme trouble?" Mary lashed out as soon as the security guard closed the door.
"How did I know I was making a threat?" Lucy shot back as she crossed her arms and glared at Mary.
"It's a known fact that when you threaten a flight, an airport even your own trip they take it seriously" Mary replied.
"When did you become suddenly interested in all this airport security stuff?"
Mary shrugged her shoulders "I'm not...I just know a lot about this kind of stuff from reading those magazines on the planes" she replied blushing ash she turned her head to avoid Lucy's face.
"Whatever" Lucy replied pounding her head on the table. "Is this stupid security guard going to come back with my purse?"
"I wanna know how this airport managed to hire some bonehead who thinks my makeup is a national threat" Lucy said suddenly.
Mary gave a short laugh. "I'm sure the guy they hired isn't a bonehead Lucy...he's just doing his job like they told him to"
Lucy bit her lip "Yeah, but think about it. Why would some old guy take a black purse that has makeup packed to the bottom think that it's a threat to national security?"
Mary rolled her eyes "I don't know Luce but I'm going to find a phone and call mom and dad to see if they can get us out of here" she said standing up.
Lucy sat straight up in her chair "Your going to call mom and dad? What are you nuts? If they find out that we are in trouble they will never let me leave the house again!"
"Oh...such a tragedy" Mary replied sarcastically as she opened the door and walked out and turned towards the guard that was sitting on a chair next to their room.
"Excuse me sir?
"Yeah?"
"I need to use the phone to tell our ride who was suppose to pick us up almost 30 minutes ago that we have been detained for a while"
"You can use that phone over there" the security guard pointed to a phone on an empty desk.
"Thank you" Mary replied sweetly as she walked away and sat down with her back towards the room that Lucy was in.
She picked up the phone and started to dial Ben's number when she heard the door to Lucy's room open and looked over her shoulder just in time.
"OH MY GOD!" she heard Lucy yell "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
