"Hey, Horst!"
"Ryan! But you're human?"
"Guess it worked," said Vinnie rubbing his temples.
"Yeah, Alain's my main supporter right now, if you know what I mean. Anyway, his Platinum Card just bought you, Carter and Vinnie first class tickets on the next flight over to Paris. So hurry up, and get to the airport - after you stop by my house and pick up my passport. Stupid me, I forgot it when I got on the plane this morning."
Horst roared with laughter, "We're all going to Paris?"
"No, just Carter, you and Vinnie, and of course me and Alain. So don't tell Stacy - unless you want to give her your ticket."
"No way I'm giving Stacy my ticket," Horst answered, "Mum's the word. So when does the flight leave?"
"About 2 1/2 hours from now, so get going."
"Oh, man what should I pack?"
"Nothing. Alain's going to treat us all to a whole new wardrobe when you get here. But bring my passport."
