"Thank you for flying Delta Airlines. Please have a pleasant stay in Dar es Salaam."
Duke listened as he waited for the row of people in front of him to get up and move towards to front of the plane. The flight attendant has a pleasant voice. She reminded him of a woman he once knew here in Tanzania. Gentle and warm. He made his way to the exit, where she stood smiling, and he smiled and nodded at her in turn. "Thank you." He said, with a cheesy grin. "Enjoy your stay!" She responded, happy to get noticed by him. Duke exited the plane and walked up the jetway to the gate. The airport was crowded, and there were security guards everywhere brandishing AK-47s. What's with the Kalashnikovs? I thought the Brits influenced the army in this country. He didn't think twice about it. He walked to the security checkpoint, duffel bag slung over his shoulder. As he walked through to the unsecure side, he saw his friends waiting for him. Recondo and Dusty stood there, both with their hands on their hips. They had on shorts and collared shirts, and looked like someone you'd find at a Club Med. Dusty stepped forward first with a wry grin. Dusty extended his hand, slightly sarcastically. "It's about time, Mr......." He didn't know what passport Duke used because of the last second orders. They were both already in Africa, and only took about 13 hours to get to Tanzania. Duke had to fly in commercially. "Mr. Clifton." Duke filled in the silent error, extending his hand to meet Dusty's. He was slightly irritated that Dusty would be so reckless at the airport, and it showed. Counter-espionage was rampant in Africa, specifically in Tanzania, and there was no need to attract attention by strange behavior. Dusty's smile eroded quickly. Recondo laughed and put his hand on Duke's shoulder. "Mr. Clifton, pleasure to see you. Don't mind my driver, he's new." Duke's frown quickly turned into an approving, amused smile. "Good to see you, too." Recondo turned and waved towards the airport exit. "Oh, Ronnie, please take Mr. Clifton's bags - he's been traveling forever." Dusty looked at Recondo, confused and surprised. You bastard. He said to himself, half smiling at Recondo, half insulted by him. Dusty grabbed the bag, with quiet reservation. Duke thanked him and began to walk with Recondo towards the doors. Dusty followed. "Let's get in the car, and we can start talking business." Recondo started, knowing Duke's penchant for preparation. Duke looked at his friend and simply said, "In a bit. First, I know a great place to get something to eat. Oh, Ronnie, where's the car?" He asked as he held one of the the doors for Dusty, while Recondo held the other. Dusty paced fairly quickly between them, duffel slung over his shoulder, his attention focused down at the ground as he passed. "I hate you guys." He said. They both laughed with him, and at him.
