Fri, Aug 10; Dothan Regional Airport; 1:45 PM (Sat, Aug 11, 6:45 AM on Tracy Island)

Joseph and Brian Spencer had just arrived at the airport when they saw a commuter jet making its final approach.

"We'd better hurry, Joe! I don't want Callie to think we were late."

Getting a strong grip on Brian's shoulder, Joseph said, "Will you take it easy?"

"How can I?" Brian started surging ahead of him while saying, "Callie's coming home for the first time since she started working for Tracy Industries! Aren't you the least bit excited?"

"Yeah, but this is overdoing it. Calm down or I'll lose you."

Brian finally slowed down and said, "Sorry, bro. I can't help myself."

"You were always the most impatient out of the three of us."

As they entered the airport, Joseph looked at the flight arrival screen. "Yeah, her flight should be landing any minute now. Let's get to the lobby and wait for her. The airport's busier than usual today."

"That's unusual. I--wait a minute, I know what it is. A lot of people from the area are leaving for Canton, Ohio, for the Hall of Fame Game."

"I forgot that game was coming up next Saturday. Alabama's playing...Penn State, right?"

"Yeah. I'd give an arm and a leg to go to that game."

"Bro, we've already got tickets to the Alabama-Florida game for next month. Don't worry about it."

Meanwhile, Callie had walked through the boarding ramp from the plane and into the terminal. I hope I didn't get here too early, she thought. Knowing Joe, he'll probably burn rubber if he thinks they'll be even a minute late.

The two brothers waited in the lobby near the security checkpoint. "Well, here we are," said Brian. Seeing his sister, he yelled, "And there she is!"

Joseph could see her as well. "Callie! Callie!"

She walked into the lobby and saw them waving their arms wildly. As they ran toward her, she yelled, "Joe! Bri!" When all three met, she greeted them with a tight hug. "I'm glad to see you guys."

With a big smile, Brian said, "Me, too, Sis. It's great you could come home for your birthday."

"I know it. I can't wait to see Mom and Dad, but they're probably at work right now."

Joseph said, "Hey, it's okay, Sis. We've got the house and your room already set up for ya, so you can enjoy time at home through your birthday."

"I appreciate it, Joe. I really appreciate it." A lot more than you could possibly imagine.

After the brothers helped her get her luggage to the car, Joseph asked her to sit in the front passenger seat. Brian didn't mind being in the back.

On the drive back to their house in Opp, Brian asked a lot of questions about her job at Tracy Industries. "Relax," said Callie, "I'll tell you all about my job when we get home. Right now, I'm a little tired from jet lag." And a whole lot more. I needed to get away from my Hood-related nightmares. I don't want anyone to know I'm even on these meds Doc gave me. If they find out, I don't even want to think about what my folks would think of me then...
