Many hours of flying, plus a terrible headache and a horrible airplane service were the perfect things to make Calvin Solano the angriest person at the whole airport. And not to mention that all his luggage hadn't arrived yet. Nobody would wish to be the stewardess, manager or any kind of worker in that place at that exact moment. The 25th of November was to be remembered as the worst day in history for Calvin Solano. They say karma is a bitch, right?

"SONYA, BRING ME A TOWEL!!"

"What's wrong Riley?"

"Lucy might have accidentally spilled a hot coffee in the head of a passenger."

"Oh shit."

"And some pastries with the coffee too."

"Double shit."

"I'm so sorry Sir."

"...Don't worry, but please don't try to kill me again."

"I come to get my luggage."

"Number of your ticket?"

"A1299M09"

"Let me check Sir."

"Do I look that old?"

"..."

"Eh, mister, there has been a problem with your luggage. The plane that came with them has been delayed for 8 hours."

"Eight hours?"

"Yes."

"Do you notice something strange in me?"

"Ehh, no mister."

"Have you noticed my wet hair and currently dark white shirt?"

"Yes sir."

"You know why it happened?"

"..."

"Because one of your bloody workers threw it on my head. I accepted it calmly, and I just wanted to change to some clean clothes. But now it seems that my bloody-"

"Sir, people are staring."

"Excellent, and before you cut me off I was saying that my bloody luggage it's still in Miami. So, could you give me a solution?"

"..."

"I'm waiting."

"You could wait."

"You haven't said that."

"..."

"Where's your manager office?"

"That way."

"Thanks."

"But Sir, the floor is...*thump*... wet."

"I just noticed."

"Young man, are you okay?"

"DO YOU THINK I'M OKAY?"

"..."

"THIS HAS BEEN THE SHITIEST AIRPLANE SERVICE IN THE FUCKING WORLD."

"He's the manager Sir."

"Just one thing, next time try to employ a worker that will have the dignity to give you a good service."

"I'll talk to him later."

"Thank you and fuck you."

"..."

"That dude needs to chill and smile."

"You won't save yourself, Charles."

"Fuck."

"And stop the cursing."

"You need to smile too."

"Go before I fire you."
