Sally packed a bag and walked to the train station. Caprice and Billy accompanied her to the station to see her off. Billy had offered to come and run security but Sally insisted she would be fine and a good girl. She gave Caprice a big hug and Billy a big hug.
Billy stood and watched the train until it left. Caprice watched him. He already missed her. Other then the time she had been with Caprice, Sally had never been away from Billy for more than a day. Caprice was still looking at Billy when he realized the train was gone and looked to remember who was standing beside him. He gave a hint of a smile and started walking.
"Billy."
"Present."
"That's good. Where are we going to go for two weeks."
"We what."
"You and me somewhere nice. I'll invite you."
"No. I mean yes. I would like that. But let me do the finances."
"Are you sure."
"I'm sure. Chose a place and we'll book it."
Caprice took his arm like Sally often did. Billy took out his smartdevice and waited for a destination.
"Any restrictions."
"Europe."
"Norway."
"Norway."
"Yes."
"Okay. What does one do in Norway."
"I have no idea."
"No matter. We go to Norway."
"First possible flight."
"That could be today."
"We should walk a little faster."
"Fuck that."
Billy was trying not to be sexually aroused with Caprice holding her body against him. He pinged his location and a ride request to one of his favourite transportation networks. Caprice watched him. When he looked up he nodded at an approaching car. Caprice turned around to see a car door open beside her. She was impressed but had no intention of letting Billy think so. She liked that he didn't notice how cool he was.
"Hallo, Klaus."
"Hallo Billy."
The driver started driving. Caprice didn't even bother to ask how he knew where to. It was a short drive but Billy had time to check flights.
"Next flight is in less than three hours."
"I need three minutes."
Billy was having fun. It was obvious to people who saw the car drive up to the apartment.
"Klaus."
"Yessir."
"Do you have time to take us to the airport."
"Yessir, I do. Not only the time but the desire."
Caprice laughed. Sally had told a few stories about how Billy was always talking to the people they met on the way. Like they were old friends. They went from hello to carrying on from the last time they went separate way. Sixty thousand years ago or so. So the story went.
"Caprice has a brilliant coffee machine. Would you join us for a coffee while we packed quickly."
"I'm having more fun watching you than I've had all week."
Caprice laughed again. Billy was right. It would have been a shame not to talk to Klaus.
"Do you want to come with us."
Klaus laughed.
