"It hasn't changed at all," Penny looked at the buildings surrounding the airport. "It's exactly the same. After six years, you would have thought things would have gotten better."
Xander squinted his eyes. "It has changed, brother," He told Penny. A crowd of people walked down the street, holding blankets, clothes, and looked as if they hadn't showered in weeks. "It's just gotten worse, not better."
Penny eyed the streets. "We have to hurry and locate The Passengers. We don't have much time before we get caught."
I felt my body go numb.
The streets were almost empty, other than a few people walking along the sidewalks. The airport was nearly empty, besides the few people that decided to travel to Vienna. I thought it would have been lively, but instead, it turned out lifeless.
Looking down the road, I noticed a phone booth that stood right next to an empty parking lot. My heart began to thump heavily. I reached into the pockets of my suitcase and grabbed two quarters out of my wallet.
Penny and Xander looked at me questionably.
"Ariana, what are you doing?" Penny asked.
I walked across the vacant street and opened the phone booth. Closing the door behind me, I slipped a quarter into the slot and picked up the phone. I typed numbers into the machine and waited for someone to answer. My stomach did turns. I grabbed onto the bottom of my shirt and messed with it, hoping to calm myself down; I was anxious.
The line rang.
Then it rang some more.
And then someone picked up.
"Hello?"
My breath hitched in my throat. "Bill, it's Ariana."
"Ariana?" Bill said, his voice louder. "Where the h-hell have you been?"
"I can explain."
"Eddie and Stan told me they saw you getting into a c-car with two guys. Where are you? W-Why haven't you been showing up to school?"
"Bill, please let me explain—"
"And why haven't you been answering my c-calls? Why are you calling me on this number? I almost didn't p-pick up because I didn't know who was calling."
"Bill!" I shouted. He went silent on the other end. I sighed and put my hand against my forehead. "Please listen to me."
"I'm listening." He told me.
"I'm sorry for not answering your calls, and I'm sorry for not getting in touch with you. Things have been," I paused and closed my eyes. "hectic, lately."
"Where are you?"
I gulped. "I decided to live with my mom for a little while."
