Chapter 10

ZACH

God the kid is tough.

He didn't stop screaming things about food and possible ways of cooking his unborn sister.

"IF SHE WAS SO YUMMY AND DELICIOUS THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ME TASTE HER?! YOU KNOW I LOVE PORK!"

Pork?! Jeez.

The kid walked to Hannah and I and fell to his knees, as if begging.

"Mr. and Ms., please adopt me! I don't want to be eaten by her! SAVE ME!"The boy begged.

"I'm very sorry about my son. He's just too young to know all this stuff."The mother apologized. "No it's okay. At least we now know how hard raising a kid is."I said.

"You two don't have kids yet?"She asked. She let her son play around the lounge and scream at the same time.

"We're about to."Hannah answered. "Well in that case congratulations! Kids may look hard as hell but they really are so nice and adorable. They look stubborn but it just takes a few walks to ice cream stands to convince them."We laughed.

"Yeah. Ice cream sounds so good if I was a kid."Hannah said.

"Where are you heading anyway?"The mother asked. "We're travelling with my dad-in-law and my friend and his fianceé to Sydney. My aunt got in an accident there and...we're visiting her and we're gonna take her home."I answered.

The mother's eyes widened. "So you're the family of the one in the accident! Lorraine Cooper, isn't it?"

"Yup. That's her."Hannah said. "That's very unfortunate! Many people get into terrible accidents nowadays. I give you my prayers, anyway."She said.

"Thank you...it really means a lot to us."I smiled.

"Passengers for Flight 203 Sydney will start boarding in ten minutes. Again, passengers for Flight 203 Sydney will start boarding in ten minutes. Thank you."

"Well, we gotta go now. It was nice meeting you, miss."Hannah said. We stood up and walked to the boarding gate. I reached for my phone in my pocket and dialed Champ and Mr. Stine's cell.

Mr. Stine arrived right away and I redialed Champ's cell again.

"Hello?"He picked up.

"MOVE IT SLOWPOKE! WE'RE GONNA MISS THE PLANE!"
