Stuart's on the Run!- Volume I

Chapter 3- Bomb!

Chapter 3

               I opened my eyes because of the pilot's voice “Ladies and gentlemen, we are arriving at the Agra airport so wear brace yourself. 

I almost forgot the fact that Dominion was flying with us too. I caught his eyes watching me this entire flight.  Does he think that I'm some kind of a terrorist or something?. The plane is now landing. Oh Stuart is up too. He woke up and asked “So, did you sleep well?” I said “Yeah, a lot of turbulence but I'm fine.

We still got a minute to land, The plane had reached the surface now It needs to stop. But Lan seemed in a rush. He climbed down from the first class and rushed across us.

“Wonder what that guy's problem is,” Stuart asked disgustfully. I asked him

“You don’t know who that is?”

“Dude I don’t even know Obama’s last name”

“None of us do, but this guy is not like Obama. But he is kinda big deal”
“Big like, he got a Big weiner?”

“No dude, He is a rich businessman”

“Oh, I see”

“And he forgot his luggage”

“What?”
                    Art seemed curious when I said about this luggage. Lan is talking with the flight attendant and people are getting up. 

“We should inform him about the luggage”
“Do we want this unwanted risk?”

“Risk? dude what are you talking about? come on”
        People got up from their seats and the plane got crowded. Art is going through the crowd, trying to reach Lan. But he exited the plane with the flight attendant. Art turned back to me and said

“Well he didn’t heard me, guess we need to take his bag too”

“Dude we don’t need to, he might come back later”
“No, trust me man. we will be rewarded. Now where is his luggage?”

                   I pointed to the place where he stored it. Art pushed through the crown and reached for his luggage. He took his and Lan’s. I took mine and waited for him at the door. But there is no place to stand here, people are just pushing and telling me to get out of the plane. Art screamed in a distance 

“You keep going, I will meet you down”

I did what he said. I got down and walked to the airport, I looked back and he was nowhere to be seen. I guess that’s it. I'm never seeing him again. A little chat with a guy on the plane. 

On my way, He suddenly jumpscared me from the back.

“Whoa, You are still here”

He holds Lan’s luggage

“I thought I told you not to bring his” I said

“I thought I told you to wait down the plane”

“I was going to, but then I thought you left.”
“I Am not like you Stu”
We both stayed silent for a minute. Then he asked suddenly

“Where are you headed anyway?” came from him.

“Why do you think people come to Agra? to visit the Taj Mahal duh”

“Well not me, I'm here to visit my friend Matt”
“Oh, carry on then”
“Yeah you too, Stu. Have a fun weekend”
“Thanks Art”
I said the name he asked me to. I think that made him happy. I left and he went the other way. I saw Doms ahead of me, I covered my face with my hood and went to my right. Then I saw Lan walking towards Doms and they both were talking. I need to inform Art now.

I went back and searched for Art, but he is nowhere to be seen. Then I caught him talking with the ‘May I help you’ counter. I dragged him by his arms and said

“I saw Lan”

“Thank god, I've been searching all over for him. Where is he now?”

“Follow me”
                                  I started walking back and he followed me. I saw Lan in the distance. We both started to move our legs a little. Then a weird noise came from him.

“Turn off your alarm dude, Its kinda annoying”
“Dude, that's not from me.”
“The hell are you talking about? Its coming from you, check your phone”

“Dude I'm serious, It's not mine”

Then we realize that it's coming from Lan’s luggage. And the sound is getting faster, a TICKING SOUND. We both stared at each other for five seconds and it did not feel awkward this time. This is serious

“You wanna check what's in there” He asked me.

Art put down the bag and we both kneeled down.

“Dude, the Luggage is in your hands. You should be the one doing it” I said.
“Right” he said.

People stopped walking and watched us and so did the securities

Art slowly opened the bag making the loud crispy sound of the zip. Two security guards took out their police sticks and walked towards us. Then Art pulled the zip to the end and opened the bag. Doms found us and so did Lan. I spoke up

“Mr Threshold, we found your luggage”. but no response from him, he just screamed

“No!”.

Then Art lifted the thing that made the ticking noise like a doctor lifting a baby from a childbirth. one guy from the crowd screamed
                                                              “BOMB!”
