The long-awaited day arrived. Because the charter plane they ordered couldn't fly due to the sandstorm, Nicolae and Terry were forced to drive to the nearest airport yet still missed their flight to Italy.
"Are there no empty planes that we can book to go to Rome?" Terry asked the check-in clerk who refused to let them board the plane that had just departed earlier.
"You mean an empty seat?" the officer asked, confirming Terry's words. "Uhmm ... the next flight to Rome leaves tomorrow afternoon."
Terry shook his head impatiently. "An empty plane, I want to order one to take us to Rome."
Nicolae just laughed at the clerk's confused look. The girl must have thought the young man in front of her was crazy because he wanted to book an empty plane.
