Unexpected 9: Crime Set

Chapter 17: Street + airport = yikes!

"Ok, guys, listen up. We need to make some minor changes to the original plan..." Deacon said as the men gathered in the Security Control Main Room at LA International Airport.

With the information of a possible threat to the artists, the security group got together with the airport security supervisors and head manager to make sure every corner was secured. This morning Deacon received confirmation that the personal jets are arriving with a 25 minute gap, from two separate locations. Ed will be landing first, as his jet is coming from Melbourne, Australia. Billie's flight is scheduled to arrive 20 to 25 minutes later, from Thuringia, Germany.

"Everyone to their places. Street, you're up!" Deacon called over the talkie

Street was standing by the enclosed corridor meant to receive the artist and his crew as soon as they landed and exited the aircraft. Instead of exposing him, they have asked the airport and one of the airlines for permission to use one of the rolling enclosed walkways that are reserved mainly for larger cargo. The idea was that the attendant would open the door when the security personnel signals, connect the edges of the corridor and then he and his crew would guide the British man through it into a secured area. Then, they would go around the back of the concession stand, into a private parking area where they would load him and take him to the hotel. Street was in charge of the operative with two more men from Deacon's crew. If everything went according to plan, the same would be repeated with the female singer.

While all of this is going on, Deacon, Buck and the other members of the crew and airport security will be on guard for any suspicious movements. Their jobs was to spot anything and immediately remove the threat.

Deacon, Street and Buck will have direct connection with Airport Security Main Room and tower. So, if they see somebody from up above or down in the track, they will receive the warning directly. An earpiece was provided by the company and talkies were provided in the vehicles.

The jet made a smooth landing as it began to line up. Once Street heard the motor being turned off, the flight attendant immediately began working the door.

"Everyone to their places. Street, you're up!" Deacon called on the piece

"HOLD! HOLD IT!" one of the men from the track yelled.

"Hold your positions. Someone from the track spotted something." Street called, as he hunched over, weapon in hand

They waited in silence, breathing quietly, listening to their heartbeats.

"CLEAR!" the heard the voice again

"Ok, move!" he signaled. That same command was then relaid to the captain of the jet, who then told the assistant.

CLICK

The door of the craft made a sound, as the hinges and locks moved. The door swung up as a beautiful skinny lady in an uniform stuck her head out.

"Is it ok to disembark now?" she asked shyly

"Yeah" Street said placing his gun away.

The lady took a step outside, as the men helped her to lock the sides. Street approached the jet and took a peak inside. He noticed the singer was sitting in the back of the plane, head leaning back, mumbling something to himself as he stared at the ceiling.

"Sir? Are you alright?" Street called, looking around.

The blond man did not respond, as three other crew members and personnel gathered their carry on bags and belongings. Street presented himself and shook hands with them. Arthur, the man in the black suit was his manager, Jack with the red tie his promotion director and agent and Melvin was his personal bodyguard, a 6'8, 350 pounder.
