452: Clark Airport

The driver pulled up, right on time, in front of Caleb's massive gate. Caleb, or Adam as he was known in this world, threw his bag into the backseat and hopped in, waving a casual goodbye to the mansion that had been his world.

As the car rolled away, the guards clustered around, their curiosity getting the better of their usual stoic demeanor. "So, what's the deal with Manila Clark Airport?" one of them called out, leaning closer.

Caleb leaned out the window, "Oh, you know, it's less crowded than Ninoy Aquino, faster check-ins, and way smoother for private flights. Perfect for a quick, unnoticed take-off," he explained, with a wink.

The guards nodded, impressed with the details. "And the Earth team, you meeting them there?" another guard shouted, trying to keep the conversation going as the car picked up speed.
