plane and she smiled.  It was the first real rest he had gotten since their father’s death.  Alice returned with a clipboard and sat across from Elizabeth.
                  “Mr. Joe Hart said you or your brother would help us with the paperwork…  “
                  “Yes, Uncle Joe.  What do you need?”
                  “Once we arrive at O’Hare, what will be the rest of our itinerary and how much fuel should we cut an order for?”
                  Elizabeth hadn’t given either any thought or had any of idea.
                  “We won’t know until after our meeting in the terminal.  I would guess that we should take on as much fuel as possible.  Can I call you or something?”
                  “Well, the crew will probably leave the plane during refueling and at least get some coffee.  Sure, text me and I will tell the others.  I do need you to sign this authorization for the fuel order.”
                  Alice slid the clipboard and pen over to Elizabeth who signed the order.
                  “As soon as you know our next destination, text me and the captain will file the flight plan for the next leg of our trip.”
                  “Yes of course.  I am sorry that my brother and I have dragged you out in the middle of the night like this.”
                  “No problem. This is not the first time we have been made to scramble a flight in the early hours.”
                  “What time will we arrive in Chicago?”
                  “We should be on schedule the weather is good.  We are still planning to be at the gate about ten minutes to four.”
                  “Good.”
                  Alice took the clipboard back.  She looked at Elizabeth’s brother still passed out on the love seat.
                  “Would you like some coffee?”
                  “That would be nice.”
                  “I’ll be right back.”
                  Alice took the clipboard.
                  “Oh could I get on the Internet?”
                  “Yes, but use that CAT6 cable.  We would prefer you didn’t attempt to connect using wireless, you would probably encounter too many disruptions in service.”
                  “Yes, thank you.”
                  Elizabeth saw the cable connector in a cluster of cables  that came out an opening in the middle of the round table and seized one and connected it to her laptop.  Within minutes, she logged on and searched the Internet for information regarding the person they were about to meet.  The search provided several articles regarding Ms. Arachne Corrick, the psychic.  The articles she scanned as she drank her coffee were all very impressive and for the most part, favorable regarding her abilities.  There was no mention in the write-ups about werewolves, vampires or Big-foot creatures but rather in her ability to find missing people and items.  Elizabeth figured the woman to be in her forty’s and now had a mental picture of what she looked like.  She had written several books regarding the paranormal and seemed to be well known in those circles.  She shut down the laptop and looked out the cabin window at the dark night sky.  She did doze off for what appeared to be only a few minutes, but Alice did come and nudge her.  She had not realized that several hours had passed.  As she buckled her seat belt for the decent and landing, Alice gently woke her brother who sat up and took some coffee from the stewardess.  He rubbed his eyes.
                  “Did you get a good rest?”
                  “I blacked out didn’t I?  The last thing I remember is boarding this craft and lying down.”
                  “Yes.  That was four hours
