the first time since the met, she can see that he has his old, recognizable glint in

                   his eyes, that she knows all too well."
                     "Yeah, okay. Country house then… luxurious villa, something along those lines."

                   He interrupts her speech and adds:

                     "Country house of very large dimensions, let's call it a ranch for now. I can
                   probably explain it further back in the office. I will paint the picture as vivid and

                   picturesque as I can." He smiles complacent at his own explanation and the light

                   sarcasm that followed. He couldn't help but add a little humour, and he sees that
                   she’s smiling back at him.

                     "From all of the crew and the cabin, we wish to thank you for a pleasant journey
                   with Lufthansa - and we hope you will choose to fly with us again." The captain

                   proceeds to repeat the sentence in three different languages.

                     Olina and Tom are the first ones to get off the plane, and they silently enter
                   through the first departure hall. Then they proceed through the airport towards

                   the arrivals hall. Instead of going to the trunk, they walk to a door with the name

                   “Customs” on. Olina places her key-card on the scanner and they enter. As they
                   walk about 100 meters further down the hall, they enter another room. The

                   office is a small room, which consists of a desk and surveillance cameras, from
                   which it is practically possible to monitor the entire airport. They walk through

                   the office; Olina opens yet another door, and they exit on the south side of the

                   airport. There is a Volkswagen Passat with a valet ready, waiting for them.
                   It’s parked in a small private parking area in front of the office, and as they walk

                   outside, a civilian officer rises from out of the black vehicle to greet them. There’s

                   definitely a stark contrast between the Volkswagen Passat and Tom’s Audi R8,
                   which is parked right next to it.

                     "We got your car over here. Bjørn wants to get you up to speed."

                     "Thank you very much," says Tom, smiling at the officer. "I had just prepared
                   myself for a little brisk walk back to town."

                   The officer hands him the car keys. "Thank you for letting me drive it. What a

                   tremendous car."
                     "Yeah right? I'll give these to Bjørn. " He waves the set of extra keys the officer

                   just gave to him. The Audi gives a small beeping noise, signalling that it’s open.
                   He opens the door in the passenger seat, gives a sign to Olina to step in.
