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

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,

"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.
