Chapter three : Airport Drama
"Mary I am so swamped, can you please open another counter" pleaded Deirdre to her supervisor.
"Sorry can't spare the staff. You'll just have to manage." replied Mary.
"Ok" Deirdre sighed then turning back to the ever growing queue "Next"
"Welcome to Dulles International Airport. Do you have your ticket and your passport?" having the two in her hand she started to reel of the questions she has to ask, not waiting for the answers.
"Did you pack your own bags? Did you leave your bags anywhere unsupervised by yourself? Do you have any of the banned items as shown in the poster" and she gestured briefly to a poster and continued
"Have you been asked to carry anything on to the plane or in any of your luggage? Just the one bag for check in is it?" and she final looked up at the women at the front of the queue.
"Yes" and she started to put it on the moving conveyor belt when a man pushed his way through to the top of the queue creating upset to all the people waiting as he went. He then just brushed past the women and started to talk to Deirdre.
"Excuse me" started a very indignant women but the man paid her no attention and kept talking to the Deirdre.
"Sorry sir but you will have to join at the end of the queue like everyone else" and gestured to the women to step forward again.
"Ok that is you good to go. Your gate is on the ticket and your boarding time is 10.40. Also I would just like to apologise for the interruption. I hope you have a good flight."
"Oh it is ok; one man's rudeness is not your fault. Thank you" she said picking up her hand luggage she walked of making sure she bumped into the rude man. The man then quickly stepped up before the next person moved. The rightful next person started to protest but the once again the rude man paid no heed.
"Really sir you need to join the end of the queue. You can't just skip the queue." She gestured for the mother and her two kids to step forward. But the man was having none of it.
"Listen to me. I need to buy a ticket for the flight…"
"Sorry sir this is just for check-in. You need to go the counter over there and buy a ticket then join this queue to check in."
"No you don't understand I did that but they said it was fully booked. But I NEED to get on THIS flight."
"Sir if the flight is fully booked what do you expect me to do? I can't make seats appear out of no where."
"Come on I need to get on this plane! Not the next one and no I can not fly to New York first and then onto Montana. I need to make this plane. OK!!" he shouted at the Deirdre.
He looked around nervously. He knew he was making a scene and he did not need the security delaying him any further. It was of utmost importance he made this plane. The lady just needed to understand that.
He peered at her name tag and decided to use a different tack.
"Deirdre is it? Look I am sorry for yelling at you. I know you must have ignorant travellers demanding this and that of you all the time. But my daughter was in an accident and I need to get home to be with her. I can't get through the hospital and I have no idea what condition she is in." he made a face of weariness and he saw the women weaken. Inwardly he smiled. He had got her.
"Ok sir we do always keep three seats empty as a spare for emergency and for security. I can arrange for you to have one of them. But your insurance will have to cover it. Is that ok?"
"Yes, yes thank you thank you so much. That is fine. I can do that." He gave her his most charming smile and showed her his passport.
"Sir Do you have any luggage?"
"Em no, no I don't I kind of left in a hurry."
"Ok sir then you're all ready. Boarding is at 10.40 and your gate is through the doors there. I hope your daughter is ok."
"Daught? Oh yes I hope so to. Thank you so much for your help. You have no idea how much it means to me. Thank you."
She nodded, smiled and motioned for the mother and two children to move forward.
"Hello madam sorry for the interruption."
"Oh it is ok i overheard what he said" she put her hands on her kids and said "Couldn't imagine if my children got hurt and not to be able to be with them." she trailed off.
The man moved away and silently thanked God not that he actually believed in him and then he laughed quietly to himself. What a sucker. Sick daughter, it is such a stupid lie. Oh well at least it worked and now I am on my way Bakers, Montana. I'll see you soon Aaron Hotchner he thought with satisfaction.
