The man had the bladder of a pregnant woman.
“Let’s just skip those messages, and you can take me to my daughter.”
Tony stared at him.
“How did you get on this flight?” he asked. “How did I not see you?”
Charlie rolled his eyes.
“I don’t have tits, Anthony. You flirted with every woman on this flight.”
He grinned.
“I mean, yeah, because I’m in my prime. You look like shit by the way.”
He handed his phone back to him.
“I’m sure Sam has called and texted. If you turn your phone back off, you can pretend you didn’t see them. He’s going to kick both of our asses.”
Wait.
What?
How did he get pulled into this? He literally got the man a coffee, saw he was at testing, and then hopped a flight.
“Again, how did you get here?”
Charlie started walking with Tony.
“I stole your credit card, booked a flight, and here I am. I’ll pay you back. If I used my card, Sam would have called Elizabeth, and she would have had the FBI turn that flight around.”
Oh, shit.
Elizabeth.
Tony knew she was going to think he was an accomplice. That meant one thing.
He.
Was.
Dead.
“She’s going to think this was all me,” he said. “Elizabeth is going to think I sprung your ass and brought you here. I’m getting disowned! I’m getting murdered!” he said loudly.
Charlie shushed him when people were staring at them.
“SON! Talk a little louder. We want the whole place to know what our business is.”
Tony was not happy.
“You did me dirty. I’m the one she’s going to blame, and I didn’t have anything to do with this,” he said. “She’s never going to believe I’m innocent since I’m never innocent. Oh, God,I’m going to get my ass kicked by an angry sister from another mister.”
Charlie rolled his eyes.
“You’re fine. She’d have to figure out that I stole your credit card to buy a flight.”
Tony was sick.
