There’s No Place Like Nome! – Page 13

Returning to the house, they walked inside and found all of the girls in the living room. Each had a new dress, was made up, etc. Noah was beside himself, “Where did you guys– Excuse me– girls come from?” They giggled, and he took them to the docks for their flight back.

Right before leaving, Connie came over to Kirk. Her hair blowing from the wind of the propellers, she brushed it back. “Thanks for everything. I probably would have frozen to death if you hadn’t come to save me.”

“Not a problem.” Kirk responded, smiling. She reached over and kissed him on the cheek. Taking a handkerchief out of her pocketbook, she handed it to him.

“You’d better get that off.”

“Right. What would my wife think?!” Kirk replied. They both laughed. She got in the plane, and Noah came over.

“Kirk?”

“Yeah Noah?”

“Promise me that if she’s here you’ll get her back to me?”

“I promise.” They shook hands, then hugged each other. Noah let go of him and got inside the airplane. Everybody waved as the turbo-propeller airplane started to warm up and take off. An hour or so later they landed on the shore on the coastline of Oregon. Thanking the pilot, Noah waved as he left. They walked out on the sand, and onto the pavement. Noah flagged down a taxi, and not wishing to endanger the girls, took it by himself to a Auto-Rental place. The girls stayed in the building across the street.

Getting a car, they all piled inside of it, and Noah handed the map to Jocelyn. With her guiding Noah, they headed for Nanopolis.
