Shane’s private plane

I stayed the night at Shane’s after the robbery and all the crazy things that happened afterwards.  Shane decided to fly out to Scotland later tomorrow as going to a new place maybe good for me.  Maybe it will help me to take my mind off things…   My hands still shake when I think back what could have happened to either me or Shane.  We stopped by at my apartment to pick a few things up before heading to the airport.

Helena and Alice are meeting us there as Alice wants to visit her father and Helena is practically a family member.  

We were driven to a gated entrance and the car went straight into a hangar where a Boeing 747 was parked. 

A custom officer was waiting for us there to check our passports.  After that Shane took my hand and guided me up the stairways to the aircraft.

Now, we are standing at the front gate of her plane.

 “Welcome to my mobile home!”  She says as we step into something that resembles a living room.

“Gosh, this is yours?  I knew you must have a private jet but this is an Air-Force One!”

“Yeah, designed by me.  There is a living room, dining room, an office, meeting rooms and a few en-suite bedrooms.”  Shane shows me around the plane.  It is enormous.  I never knew that after you take out all those seats, you could have so much room.  We dump our bags in her room and find that Alice and Helena have arrived and are sipping their drinks at the bar area.

“Good that you two made it before us!  I will tell the pilot that we are ready to take off.”  Alice says warmly to Shane.  Well, her attitude towards me is better now since the event, maybe she is realizing Shane is treating me differently to the previous ones.  Or maybe she wants me to set her up with Dana… they were hitting off at the Charity Ball the other night and have seen each other a couple of times since then.  From what I have gathered, things are off to a very promising start for them.
