Eric had been hoping he could fly back with their private plane that afternoon, but the pilot had left for the neighboring town to visit his cousin since he had thought they were leaving the next day. That left Eric with no other choice than to go to the airport and follow a public plane.
As he stood on the queue waiting to be checked so he could get into the plane, he saw someone who looked very familiar standing ahead of him, and just then the person made eye contact with him.
"Eric?" Pete asked, sounding surprised to see Eric at the airport.
First thing Eric felt was a slight resentment towards Pete for being among those who had used Kimberly in the past, but he consciously shook off the thought from his head and flashed Pete a smile, "Hi!"
They both waited until they had been checked and were headed for the plane before engaging in a conversation, "What did you come to do in Abuja?" Eric asked first.
