They walked through the concourse quickly and noticed the security gates ahead. The security check took over half and hour because of all the boxes Laura had. Once through the gates, the guards piled the boxes and luggage back on the cart and then Laura and Emma were on their way to check in.
They had plenty of time to check the luggage and get their tickets before their flight left so they decided to get a bite to eat when Laura announced as she rubbed her stomach, "I'm famished!" and then continued, "My stomach is growling so loud I'm afraid someone will hear me. Can we stop for a sandwich or something before we get on the plane?"
Emma nodded her head as she glanced over the airport directory. "There's a little place right around that next corner to the left," she said as they began to walk in the direction she pointed.
Laura walked right beside Emma as they neared the sandwich shop. Laura glanced over the menu and picked the turkey deli and a bag of chips. Emma ordered a ham on rye with fries. "You go get a table and I'll get our drinks." Emma said, as she handed Laura her purse over the rail.
They ate quickly and cleared their mess as they stood up to leave and then headed back to the boarding gate. The flight was called shortly after they returned; they both stood and walked toward the door to the tunnel that attached to the plane. Laura went first and found her seat, but she didn't want to sit by the window for some reason. She began to shake uncontrollably again, just like she did in the bathroom at Emma's house.
"Don't worry, I will sit there and you can have my seat," Emma told her as she scooted past Laura to sit by the window.
She handed Laura her purse to put in the overhead compartment when Laura was putting her own purse up there. "Just don't let me forget it!" she said jokingly as Laura took her seat and fumbled with the seatbelt.
The seats and windows vibrated slightly when the pilot started the engines of the plane. Laura grasped the armrests and closed her eyes tightly as the plane accelerated to top speed near the end of the runway. Laura gasped as the plane took off. Emma smiled slightly as she patted Laura's hand to comfort her.
"I think we should have driven the car." Laura exclaimed as a look of fear covered her face and she clenched her eyes tight for nearly the entire ride.

bumd11about 6 years agoI'm sorry, but after reading this chapter, I have to give up on this story, having become disgusted with it. Did everyone suddenly get infected with terminal stupidity? For example, Laura rushes to see her doctor after fainting at work. Does he think to tell her he has discovered who she is? And that her fiance is there in Florida looking for her? No, he instead sends her immediately back to Michigan (the very next day, no less) without a word of what he's found, thereby taking her away from Ben.
And Max. When he actually finds himself face-to-face with Laura, does he pull out his cell phone and call Ben, telling him he has found her and to come right over? No, he waits till that night when he sees Ben at the hotel to mention he has found Laura. By then, the opportunity to reconnect the lovers has been missed.
When the author relies on people doing impossibly stupid things to create plot twists, I have to throw up my hands in despair and surrender.
Anonymousabout 16 years agoI have been trying to like this story, but there are so many inconsistencies. The airplane crash - wouldn't it have been on the news? And there should have been a flight manifest to narrow down the identities of the bodies in the morgue. Then as other posters said, there is the issue of the timeline - you said that months passed while Laura was working in the bank in Florida, while it was just days after the crash that Ben started looking for her. And when she transferred to the bank in Michigan, why did the bank manager not know which branch she was transferred to, that's just weird for me. And the doctor recommending to transfer work to another state immediately, that's a bit inconvenient, right? Why not just recommend a weekend/ week visit to see if something jogs her memory? And why did Max (the PI) not say anything to her while they were at the bank? He could have introduced himself right there & then. It's not as if she was a fugitive who's hiding from the law.
Anonymousover 16 years agoto end your story faster, but, as articulate as you are in discribing mundane things, like a walk to the car, or checking in the hotel, etc. Why is it that you just don't have the Doc give Ben a call, after Laura's last visit, I don't by that thought that he just forgot? That's why I'm only giving you a 75 on your story, otherwise I'm enjoying this.
