Chapter 12
“Gwen? What is going on? What do you mean you lost your
love? I thought you were over Ethan!” Sheridan said, reaching for the box of tissues.
“No, it’s not Ethan. Sheridan I have so much that I have
to tell you.”
Gwen told Sheridan everything from the sailing trip to
their incredible dinner to the events at her office.
“Gwen I had no idea!” Sheridan said.
“I did.” Luis chimed in as he walked in from the kitchen
wiping his hands on his jeans.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Sheridan said surprisingly.
“Hank told me in the strictest of confidence.”
“So that is what Hank was talking about when he said that
his decision to leave was made before his eyes.” Sheridan said.
“Leave?” Gwen said questioningly.
“Oh my God Gwen you don’t know?” Sheridan said. “Hank was
just left here about a few hours ago. He accepted an FBI case in Washington and he’s heading to the airport as
we speak.”
“He was really upset about something and he wanted to talk
to you and see you to decide whether he was going to leave or not.” Luis said sitting down next to Sheridan.
“No I had no idea!!!” Gwen said jumping up. “I have to
stop him!” She said heading out the door.
“Wait, Gwen you’re in NO condition to be driving! We can
get you there!” Sheridan said grabbing Luis’s hand as the three of them jumped in Luis’s police cruiser and took
off.
Hank sat in the waiting area of his flight gate watching
all of the happy people walking by or being reunited.
“I’ll never love again.” Hank thought to himself.
“Flight 632 Gate B9 to Washington will begin boarding now.”
boomed the voice over the loud speaker.
Hank jumped and checked his boarding pass and walked onto
the plain. He sat down in the his first class seat and stared out the window.
“Goodbye Harmony. Goodbye Beautiful.” Hank whispered pushing
back a threatening tear.
Gwen, Sheridan, and Luis rushed to Gate B9 to find that
is was already boarding.
They all split up and ran around the waiting area shouting
Hank’s name but they couldn’t find him.
“He must already be on the plane!” said Luis.
“I’ll take care of that.” said Sheridan as she walked over
to the employee behind the desk.
“Excuse me Ms.?” Sheridan said turning on the Crane way.
“My friend really needs to get to someone on this flight
could you let her on please?”
“I’m sorry but we can’t do that the plane is getting ready
to take off.” the lady said.
“Well, I’m afraid this is an emergency.” pushed Sheridan.
“Well I’m sorry but it’s impossible.” said the lady getting
very impatient.
Getting restless staring at the doors Gwen took action,
“You’re going to have to let me on this plane I’m afraid you have no choice.”
“Oh is that so?” said the lady preparing to spout some
rude comments.
“Yes, because you’re dealing with Gwendolyn Hotchkiss and
Sheridan Crane!” said Gwen grabbing Sheridan’s arm.
Completely shocked the lady just pointed at the door and
Gwen walked toward the plane not completely knowing what she was getting ready to do.
“That was good!” said Luis wrapping his arms around Sheridan
as they watched Gwen walk in the terminal.
“Thanks. I just hope this works out for the two of them!”
Sheridan said.
Kissing her on the cheek, “Yeah me too because he’s to
cocky to admit but he needs her.” Luis said.
“What is all that commotion?” Hank thought to himself as
he could here the pilot have a small argument with someone.
“Oh come on lets just get this flight out of here.” Hank
said aloud.
Their was a small chuckle from the seat next to him. An
elderly lady sat next to him, “Anxious to get out of Harmony?” she said.
“You don’t know the half of it!” Hank said.
Laughing again she said, “Looks like someone is trying
to get on this flight!” He looked and he couldn’t believe what standing in front of him.
“Hank you can’t leave me I won’t let you!”
