Chapter 36

“I can take myself out of here.” Mason slurred his words.

“I’m sure you can, but you don’t have to. I’m here to help.” Noah didn’t release his hold on Mason. He could tell the man was upset. “Do you have any bags here we need to pick up?” Noah glanced around at the surrounding tables, but didn’t see anything.

“Why would I have a bag?” Mason growled.

“Any luggage?”

“For what?” Mason frowned.

“For your trip. You’re at the airport. Are you heading on or off a plane?” Noah hoped the answer was off, because in Mason’s condition, any airline would be hesitant in allowing him to board a plane.

“What?”

The ticks of the clock moved faster. “You’re at the airport. Do you have any luggage we need to worry about?” Noah spoke slowly, hoping it would help Mason understand what he said.
