Chapter 1: Introduction
The sweltering summer day stretched out like an endless hour of boredom as Sam's sleek sedan idled in the Heathrow airport parking lot. A cool breeze from the car's air conditioning hummed softly against their sweat-slicked brows while they waited for the object of their desires. Kyle was a fidgety, anxious ball of nerves anticipating the arrival of his girlfriend. Arms tightly folded, he leaned against the backseat, watching his best friend chomp on a stale bagel.
Sam turned to him, grinning mischievously. "Feeling a bit left out there, K-man?" His words were sarcastic, but his eyes glimmered with amusement. Nothing these two did could ever truly separate Kyle from the lurid fun they seemed to have.
Engrossed in mockingly discussing policy changes in Canada, Sam and Sofia hardly noticed the endless stream of passengers waltzing out from the arrivals terminal.
