Jose opened the trunk and took out the three brown suitcases. He struggled to take out the large blue suitcase. Alvin put the suitcases on a large wheeled cart. He noticed that the blue suitcase was a lot heavier than the other three.
" Thank you Jose". He paid the cab driver. He walked the cart inside the airport entrance. He walked up to the roped off check in area.
" We'll take those" exclaimed a luggage searcher.
" Thank you". He walked up to the front counter. He gave his itinerary to the young counter clerk.
He looked up at Alvin. " Flying straight through to Bay River Florida".
" Yes".
The suitcases were put on the conveyor belt.
After a while, he was handed his itinerary back. " Your all set". He smiled. " Gate A5".
After Alvin boarded the plane, he sat down.
As he waited for the plane to take off, he was still pondering where that blue suitcase came from.
