Mary looked around the vast airport, not quite knowing what to do, as she had never been in an airport (much less flown in an airplane) before.
She spotted a desk at the back of the building, facing the door. Thinking maybe it would be where they sold the tickets, Mary grabbed her suitcase and ran towards it.
There was a long queue separated by barrier posts, but Mary knew she didn't have time for that. She ran to the woman behind the desk, pushing the client in front of the queue to the back.
—"Oi!" Shouted the fat man behind her.
—"Ma'am, you have to take the queue" Said the lady behind the desk in a monotone voice. Her eyelids heavy with boredom.
—"No, you don't understand, I NEED to get on a plane to Minas Gerais Brazil RIGHT NOW." Said Mary, realising she might have sounded a bit rude, and adding "Please."
The desk lady turned her head to her computer and started tapping her long plastic nails on her keyboard.
Mary looked to the angry mob behind her.
—"GET OUT"
—"Take the queue"
—"Look, if you think you are better than us young lady, you are quite wrong!"
—" Just because your rich daddy might have bought you private tickets does NOT give you the right!"
—"F*** off!"
Mary started to get a bit scared, so she turned to the desk.
—"Next ticket to Brazil is next week on Friday." Said the desk lady, supporting her head with her hand.
—"No. No, no, there must be something."
—"Yeah, no Ma'am, last plane to Brazil embarked five minutes ago. Zone C Gate 23B."
Hi, thank you so much for reading if you are. I really enjoy writing this anyway, but it's still nice to know someone is reading it. Also thanks mum for telling me how the gate/zone thing works in an airport (I had never paid attention on it before) 😂.
