September 22, 4 PM; Christchurch Airport

Whew, thought Will, as he walked into the waiting area. I thought I'd never get through customs. I hope whoever is meeting me didn't get tired of waiting. He looked around as he walked, his carry on hanging from his shoulder. Soon he spotted a face he'd seen in a picture, and walked over to the man.

"John Tracy?"

"Yes. Are you Will Abbott?"

"That's right." Will held out his hand and John shook it. "I recognized you from one of your book covers; I have it at home. I like how you made the subject matter easier to understand, and interesting for the layman."

"Thank you; I appreciate your feedback," John replied. "Do you have anything to pick up at baggage claim?"

"Nope." Will indicated his shoulder bag. "This is all I brought."

"Then let's head for the jet. You'll meet three of the other people who are working for us." He led Will to a transport vehicle

"Jet? You don't live in Christchurch?"

"No," came the reply as the transport started moving. "We live on an island. Don't worry, it's a short flight, but you can only get there by boat or aircraft."

"I see. That's why there was no mention of autos in the ad."

"Right. We don't have any roads where we live. But there are other vehicles you might be interested in working on. We don't always get around on foot."

By this time, they had reached the terminal where the jet waited. They got off and walked out. Will saw another man and two women loading different packages aboard. John turned to him and said, "Would you mind lending a hand? We can get away sooner if you do."

"No problem." Will swung his bag off his shoulder and on to the tarmac, then grabbed one end of a large, long box, while John took the other. With their help, the jet was soon loaded, and Will picked up his bag again.

The cargo transport was moved off and they all boarded the jet, where John introduced Will to Elise, Nikki and Luke.

Will smiled and shook hands with each person then, still holding Luke's hand, looked at John, then back at the other man. Letting go, he smiled and said, "John and Luke, huh? If one of you tells me that Matthew and Mark are waitin' at our destination, I'm gonna get worried."

Amid the chuckles, Luke replied, "You don't have to worry on that score." He then added, with a wink and a grin, "But we'll have to work on that."

Elise and John went to the cockpit and the others took their seats and buckled in. A short time later, the Tracy jet took off and headed over the ocean toward the island.
