‘Gold Scam ‘, had finished an hour ago. After the in-flight movie, Amy had curled sideways on the seat. A brother alongside was better than a stranger. She could spread out a bit. She flung her leg across Christopher’s arm. A little bump. The plane seemed to drop. She was almost asleep, when she slipped! Her seat belt wasn’t clipped, so Amy finished on the floor between the seats! That’s how she discovered the package. Her hand hit ‘something’ , jammed underneath her seat. A hard shape. Perhaps pushed through by the passenger in the seat behind? It felt like a clock radio or an I-audio. Amy’d seen them in the Duty Free. The latest sound toy. But this had thick tape around. Or so it felt. Too dark to see on the floor between seats. And there was a carpet bump in the gap beneath. The package was just too big to pull through from Amy’s side. Amy listened. A passenger snoring? Or was the parcel ticking?
