Taking Chance Page #3

Remove your jacket.

It needs to go through the machine.

I will not remove this jacket

and denigrate this uniform.

You have a lot of metal on your jacket.

It needs to go through the machine.

Take me to a private room

and wand me there.

Turn around, please.

- Excuse me, sir. Are you the escort?

- Yes.

- How you doing?

- All right.

- I need to get down

to the tarmac to watch loading.

- Sure.

- So where you from?

- Colorado originally.

It's a long time

since I've been there.

- You?

- All over.

My old man was career air force,

so we moved around a lot.

- How was that?

- It was all right.

I actually kind of miss it

now that I'm settled here.

We're gonna wait right here.

He's coming around.

Yeah, the moving around is kind of cool

when you're single, and then...

you get married, have kids,

it's a other deal.

You do this escort stuff, mostly?

Me? No, I...

I work in a cubicle.

- I volunteered for this one.

- It must be hard.

- I need to verify.

- Yeah, go ahead.

- You can stand right here if you want.

- Thanks.

- 2A?

- It's right down on your right, sir.

Excuse me. Thank you.

Can I get you something to drink?

Jack daniels rocks, please.

- And for you, sir?

- Water, thank you.

What's the matter?

You on duty or something?

Yes, I am.

Excuse me, sir?

I want you to have this.

It'll be a couple of minutes.

Sorry about the delay.

We're waiting on a conveyor.

But we're gonna get

all the luggage off first,

then we'll remove the remains.

I'd like to keep him separate

from the baggage, if that's possible.

That's the plan. We're not gonna

move him with the rest of the luggage.

All right.

Sounds good.

You know, there's another escort

here from dover.

- I've seen a lot of you guys lately.

- Excuse me.

Evening.

Evening, sir. I wasn't expecting

to see you here.

I got a connecting flight.

How's your trip going so far?

It's been fine.

It's weird though, sir.

They all know,

like, without me telling anyone.

Both at Philadelphia

and so far here in Minneapolis.

I guess they figured it out

by the uniforms.

Yeah, you know,

I've had the same thing,

which is...

okay, because I'm not

really interested in explaining it.

It looks like yours

is coming out now.

Present... Arms!

Order... Arms!

When you're ready, we'll go over to the

cargo warehouse and get everything set.

Yeah, okay. Just give me a minute.

I still need to verify.

So what's your

destination, sergeant?

I'm headed to rochester.

It's about 90 miles from here.

My family is meeting us there.

Are you related to

the deceased, son?

Yes, sir.

He's my brother.

Present... Arms!

Order... Arms!

Well, you... Take care of

yourself, son.
