CHAPTER 10

  “Hurry up Lexi, we are going to be late.”

  “I can’t run faster than this,” she grumbled. “Besides, it's your fault we are going to be late.”

  "I told you not to fight with the security man, but you wouldn't listen."

  "He was being stupid, Lexi, and he was using his height and strength to his advantage."

  "That is exactly how he must act mom, how is he supposed to be a security man if he can't intimidate people," she hissed.

  "Oh! God, fine! Can we run faster now; I don't want Balthas to be worried."

  Lexi rolled her eyes; her mother won't stop talking about this Balthas all day long.

  "Final call for flight 201 to California boarding through the gate... Passengers, please make your way forward."

  The voice-over blasted the announcement, and Daphne heaved a sigh of relief.

  "I'm glad we could still make it," she smiled as she lined behind the last person on the roll, while Lexi stood behind her.

  They walked to their seat after checking up with the attendant.
