THE car ride was mainly silent Stan being the only one to talk- he was explaining to them how they were all going to get on the plane, talk to no one, get to Istanbul and then go from there- Josi had climbed into the seat beside Margo so she wouldn't feel so awkward sitting next to either Mitch or Josh.
Silently, Eric passed out their individual plane tickets as Stan drove and waited to see if any of them had questions.
Margo already knew what was expected of them and instead of listening propped open her book and began to read, they drove for about forty minutes before they pulled into a parking spot and turned the car off. "Grab you're stuff and let's head out" Stan stated. Along with Eric, he was the first one out of the car the others climbing out of the backseats.
"We need to lay low, you understand me?" he asked, multiple yes sirs were heard right before Stan continued, "we're going to go into this airport and we're going to act as if we don't know each other, do whatever you need to do to make yourselves look believable" he ordered, closing the doors behind them they grabbed their bags and waited for Stan wondering if he had anything else he wanted to tell them. He nodded his head as confirmation to begin before they all tightened their grips on their bags and they made their way towards the entrance of the airport.
They dispersed into smaller groups as instructed to appear less suspicious and entered through one of the many entrances the obnoxious noise of multiple conversations throughout the airport flooding their ears as they did so, almost as if on cue, Mitch grabbed Margo's hand in his and led her through the airport his demeanor probably being mistaken by many due to his resting face. As they approached the security check he gently led Margo ahead of him so she could go first.
He watched as she walked through the metal detector and answered a few questions one of the staff members at the checkpoint asked, handing her back the ring that Mitch had earlier placed on her finger the staff member smiled and gestured to Mitch, "are you two married?" she smiled, "engaged, but close enough" he interjected setting his own things onto the conveyor belt, she glanced from Mitch and back to Margo still smiling as she did so, "congratulations" she spoke making Margo smile in return, "thank you" she chimed trying her best to sound sincere while she waited for Mitch to be cleared.
The woman handed him his things and waved them on to go get their papers checked before they headed for the gate, they waited in line for a good thirty minutes before it was their turn, and once again Mitch allowed Margo to go ahead of him- he knew well enough that allowing her to go first seemed like a good way to try and show they were "together"- she handed the man at the desk her passport and watched as he looked through it, typed a few things into the computer and then stamped her small booklet before handing it back with a smile, "enjoy your trip" he spoke watching as she stepped off to the side and Mitch took her place setting his passport down in front of the man.
