Chapter 73

Avi decided that there, A. Wasn't a car big enough for all 8 of them. And B. That his pack simply wasn't in the physical condition to sit in a car for several hours. So, he asked The Counsel to graciously pay for a plane flight instead. Which, they did. First class, even. Mitch's least favorite part was being pat down when they had to go through security. But he made it through, nonetheless, and was now happily seated beside Scott, who was in the middle of Mitch and Alex. Across the aisle, were the two Betas who sat with Travis. Finally, Avi and Kirstie sat behind Scott. When the plane first took off, Alex and Mitch nearly squeezed Scott's hands off out of fear. When they finally released him, Scott shook his hands out to regain feeling in them. "Lord, you two. Never been on a plane before?" Mitch shook his head, Alex doing the same. "No, Sir." Travis reached across the aisle to grab Alex's hand momentarily. "How you holding up?" Alex smiled at him. "I'm good. Thank you!"
