Chapter Six
Plain plane in the plains
(part 4)


    Damian hurried his way through the terminals then glanced back to see his younger counterpart struggling to keep up with her less maneuverable luggage. “Hey, you got it.”
She nodded and responded between short breaths. “Oh yea….we’re almost there right?”
He nodded, “Yep, we can sit here while we wait for our bus. Where did your bro go?”
She glanced around before shrugging and falling into the hard plastic chair. “I dunno, something about bag tags. I’m surprised he left work to come on this crazy trip.”
Damian glanced at the roof, “Yeah I’m really not….”
She frowned and crossed her arms. “I can take care of myself!”
Damian snorted, “You’re fourteen, Penny. There’s no way on this earth that your older brother is going to let you gallivant around the world with a total stranger. And he's right.”
She pouted a little and muttered, _{“I could do it…”}
Finally Rhett joined them with his duffel bag and plopped down next to his sister before eyeing Damian’s single backpack. “Light packer?”
Damian smiled calmly, “Got all I need to make it for a loooong time.”
Rhett jerked his chin up in acknowledgement and Natalie decided to work on her computer and ignore the very cool atmosphere going around the group. After over an hour their bus was finally called and they all trooped onto the bus for their twelve hour drive.
Destination: a farm in Cloverton Midwest.
