Chapter 108

As soon as the escalator stopped, Andy was moving again—Jesus, how big wasthis place?—but he finally pulled to a halt as the walkway opened up into a broad area full of baggage carousels. They hadn’t checked any bags, but Andy was studying the board anyway. Before Scooter could ask, he started moving again. They walked past three carousels…four…Scooter was pretty sure Norfolk didn’t even have a tenth the number.

Andy’s path suddenly curved away from the actual carousels and the clusters of tired people around them. After a moment, Scooter realized they were moving toward a stocky, balding man in a suit. He was standing near the wall, posture almost military-straight, though his hands were clasped in front of him.

“Kenny!” Andy said, and the stocky man turned toward them, and his patient, bored expression split into a wide grin.

“Mr. Howard!” he said, deftly taking Andy’s bag and slinging it over his own shoulder before greeting Andy with a one-armed hug.
