The Mysterious Student from Abroad
Sean brought a hand up to his forehead with a self-depreciating groan. How could he forget such a detail. He'd been out of the service for too long.
He reached into his pocket and retrieved a cellphone. While he was getting up there in age, he could at least take pride that he wasn't a luddite as many in his age range had become.
"I'd properly forgotten. The boy sent a picture before he got on the jet," he explained as he started clicking through the phone messages. It took him longer than he would have preferred to click through to the pictures and forward it, but he did manage to do so.
All of the girls got a buzzing in their pocket on the identical phones Emma had given them. They were all savvy enough to know she really gave them the phones to track them. In fact, they found they couldn't turn the GPS option off. And who knew just how closely she monitored other activities they used it for. Of course, they each had their own solution to that issue-- from intentionally looking up and downloading stuff to really screw with her and get her to admit she is doing it if confronted about it to throwing caution to the wind to keeping a second phone for personal use.
The picture that arrived would probably be pretty disappointing to those who had taken too much stock in the rumor that this boy was super dreamy. In the picture he was dressed in all dark gray and black, had a coat that was probably long and everything from his nose down was completely covered with a mask covering his lower face and a turtleneck sweater under his coat. He has long medium length unkempt brown hair and brown eyes. It was also clear from the angle and lighting that he probably wasn't used to taking selfies.
"I figure the boy has got to come out those doors, sooner or later," Sean said while indicating the main doors for the terminal. "But if the lot of you go inside and search the lad out, we might find him faster."
And if the boy had a phone too, why couldn't they just send him a message? Because the boy was on a British phone service, of course-- he'd be getting a 'no service' signal unless he bought a connection to the airport wifi and he might not have a credit card to do that.
