Let’s Make A Deal
Ivelise and Rico, in the meantime, had moved forward in the line. People were passing by the arguing man and the TSA agent to catch their flights. Ivelise and Rico, however, were paying attention to the man. The stone faced TSA agent told the man that he needed to throw away this particular package. He was arguing back that perhaps it did not have to be tossed into the trash, but could be kept at the airport’s lost and found.
No Can Do
The TSA agent eventually told the man that he would miss his flight if he did not just toss the package. The man took a moment, shutting his eyes, and feeling a lump develop in his throat. Inside, he knew what was going to have to happen next. He felt himself walking towards the trash can, and held the package, dangling it over the rest of the water bottles, candy wrappers, and other confiscated items. After a beat too long, he let the package fall into the bin.
