THE PLANE LANDS IMPECCABLY. DANNY IS UP AND ANGLING FOR THE aisle before the captain’s announcement can tell him to keep his seat belt on. Elijah watches him with a certain degree of embarrassment. He can’t see what the rush is. It’s not like they can leave the plane any faster. All it means is they’ll have their bags in their laps for that much longer. Even the flight attendants are still strapped in; they can’t make Danny sit down. Along with the rest of the passengers, Elijah hopes a sudden stop will jolt Danny to the ground.

Elijah remains in his seat until the plane has come to a complete stop. Danny passes over their carry-ons. Penelope leans over and says she can’t believe she’s finally in Venice.

Elijah nods his head and looks out the window.

Venice.

But not really Venice. The airport.

It is raining outside.
