"Flight 645 will be departing from gate A4." the lady at the gate said. "Departure will be in thirty minutes please have your tickets ready." She continued. Looking over at the desk she was joined by two other airport personnel and a security guard. Obviously there was some commotion going on with an elder man and what must be his wife. Shrugging I dove back into my tablet reading the schedule that was sent to me.
I looked out the window at the airplanes landing, or being pulled or pushed back and forth and thought back on the events of the past three year. I got thrown out of my house by my ex wife, she had found someone else and deemed it necessary to throw all of my belongings out of the apt we both rented. Since then life has gone downhill, lost my job, had a stint in jail after a misunderstanding with a bar owner. I shook my head at the memory of that night then pushed the memory to the back of my mind. When I came out after a few months, decided to take my life by the horns and take control. It paid off I found a place to live, a second hand computer and decided to write on some forums, first it was just life forums then I got asked to moderate a forum website and then more writing jobs came at first slow then fast till I had a full time job writing short stories for internet based comics. But one year ago things took a drastic change, a big name comic company decided to buy out a smaller internet comic and they decided to hire me full time, One of the projects they put me on was a fantasy based comic. I jumped at the chance now here I am a year later, with that project well on its way and a major hit in the public circuit. Now I am moving up in the company and heading to a comicon to meet the head of the next project if things go right I will be moving to Philly, and goodbye old life. That thought made me chuckle a little too loud after all that had been going on the thought of a new life just made me laugh. My phone began to ring looking down at it I shook my head.
"Yes Amanda?" I answered my ex with no interest, she only called me when she needed something. I still don't know what possessed me to give her my new number. There was silence and I knew she was crying. "What is it now?"
"He left me." she said I could tell she was crying. I took a deep sigh.
"What do you need?" I asked. Looking out to the tarmac. I wondered what I saw in her.
"A place to stay.... It will only be for a few days Tre, I promise." she said. I took another sigh then I remembered what I saw in her. Not only did she have a great voice but I could picture her blue eyes, and red hair and those 40DDD tits that I loved so much.
"Fine." I said. "Go to my place, I will call the leasing office and put one more month on the lease that will give you two months. But that's it Amanda after that you are on your own. Understand?" I said putting my foot down. This was the last time.
"What? You won't be there?" she asked.
"No I am leaving Texas today and I don't plan on returning." I said just saying it out loud made me feel better. There was silence, which I took for good news. "No more bailing you out, you left me remember?" I said.
"Yes" she answered.
"Goodbye Amanda." I said and hung up. I had said goodbye many times but I had always answered, had always been there for her, but this time I knew I wouldn't. I looked through the contacts and deleted her number and all her information. All of her pictures including those wonderful pictures of her boobs, which I had saved. I sat back and looked at the planes, leaving and taking off.
"Now boarding passengers for flight 645." the lady said so I stood up and headed for the terminal.
"Hi" I said to the cute flight attendant. She smiled back and took my papers.
"Ummm" she said with a ruffled look on her face. "your ticket has been upgraded to first class." she said looking at her assistant. The assistant nodded me over to the counter where I put my carry on down.
"Just need to verify a few things then you will be on your way" she said looking at me and my ID. I stood there looking at her. I knew I looked like my ID I had just taken the picture a few weeks ago. Tall black guy at 6'2, somewhat out of shape due to lack of motivation to go to the gym, but not overweight. Dark brown eyes and shaved head. "It seems your job upgraded your ticket." she said handing me back the ticket. "Your good to go." she said. As if on queue my new boss called.
"How do you like the upgrade?" he said.
"Thanks" I answered as I went down the terminal into the plane.
"I won't keep you but, When you land head to the rental car kiosk and give them your name. I had someone get your rental car ready, it has a gps just hit hotel and we will talk when you get there." He said.
"Ok will do." I answered.
"Great to have you aboard Tre." he said hanging up.
Things were finally looking up for me. I said to myself as I sat in my comfortable seat. The flight attendant came by and offered me a drink. I smiled and accepted.
"Thank you." I said to the man as he gave me the keycard to my hotel room. It was an extended stay hotel. So far I liked Philly it was colder but the streets were easy to navigate. I got into my room and called the bosses cell phone.
"I see you made it here. How do you like it so far?" Gary asked.
"I love it." I answered "But isn't this a bit much all I did was..." I began to say then I heard a laugh.
"Tre you have no idea what you have done, you're a writer and that goes with the territory. Turn on the television." Gary interrupted. I grabbed the remote and turned the television on. "Go to the business channel." He ordered. I could hear other people on the line.
"Do you have me on speaker?" I asked nervously.
"Told you he was smart." Gary said. "Yes we do, we are at a board meeting, I am the vice president of Operations and projects, I have the President and the vice C.E.O and the C.E.O here as well as many high powered members of the board here." he said.
"I feel light headed" I joked but only slightly, the nerves in my stomach where causing major problems I needed to sit down. "Ok business channel."
"We only dabbled in comics because of the large demand for them in the public eyes, say movies, books, toys and cartoon shows. We were so close to closing the project down till you came along we gave you the fantasy comic because it was a dead end project. But Tre... you brought it to life. Now not only is it a hit, we already have movie studios asking for the rights." He said. I didn't sit on the couch I fell. The room began to spin. "Tre? You still with us buddy?' he asked.
"Yes I think it's the jet lag." I said excusing my silence.
"We won't keep you, but we want to show you what you have done." He said. "You see the ticker tape at the bottom of the screen?" he asked.
"Yeah the stock exchange stuff." I said I never paid attention to this crap, who really did?
"Yeah that stuff" he laughed. "Well that stuff shows how a company is doing, small negative numbers in front of a name is a bad thing, two years ago we had small numbers with the negative sign by them. We were ready to close warehouses and other projects." He said. For the past few months we had positive numbers. You brought us back into the game." Then I saw it the company name which was on the receipt for the car, the name on the credit card I got sent flashed on the screen.
"That's Marvel and Dc and ... " my hand cupped my mouth.
"That's right Tre, they turned you down when you asked for a job and we didn't we gave you a chance and now look, with just one project you have made it, to the big leagues." He was smiling I could tell.
"The big leagues?" I said in disbelief.
"Well not the big big leagues but yeah, you're not playing in the minors anymore most definitely." Gary said. "Get some rest we will talk more tomorrow." he said. I nodded as if he could see me and hung up.
I opened my lap top and punched in the name of the company, I had done it only once or maybe twice before but not to do a complete search just for the website itself. But there it was in black and white, a company on the move, specializing in books for kids mostly, some novels but they were manly biographies. Then it showed the comic I had been working on. I slammed the lap top closed. They had put my work up there with the golden ages of comics, and other high profile comics. My head was spinning, I felt dizzy and giddy at the same time, like I wanted to pass out on the floor but also laugh till my stomach ripped open. "Lie down." I said to myself out loud. The room was quite large it had two parts. As soon as you came into the room there was a hallway which opened up to a living room area, that had a couch on the right, the screened patio that had a great view of the city, a desk with lights on it, on the left, followed by a large flat screen TV on the wall. Then the kitchen directly behind the hallway wall. The second part was by the couch, there was a door that led to the bedroom which had a large king size bed, large open windows which had a view of the busy intersection that the hotel was located on. And a full size bathroom. It was quite welcoming, and seeing how I was going to be here a while it was very good. I unpacked and laid down to bed.
The night passed quickly with no problems. After the usual morning routine, I headed downstairs to which the lady behind the counter pointed out they had the breakfast bar open. I took a peek in and decided against it. Stating I didn't really eat in the mornings. Getting into the car I noted that it was colder than I expected which was a good thing coming from the heat of Texas. I exited the parking lot and headed for the convention center that was plugged into my GPS. After searching forever I found a parking space. I forgot how fast these comic con's filled with people. Walking through the parking lot I smiled at the amount of kids and adults dressed up as their favorite characters from comics to anime to movies. I took my phone out and took a picture of a few of them. But I couldn't help to wonder would someone be wearing a costume of any of the characters I will make. As I got near the entrance I saw somebody holding up a board with my name on it.
"Hey that's me." I said to the guy.
"Hey Tre." the tall man said, I was tall at 6'2 but he was much taller. "The office did not give me your phone number and well they forgot to send you these in all the hub bub." he said smiling he was tall but very skinny and very much in need of decaf. He handed me a decal which had the name of our business and Staff written all over it. We walked through the doors passing everybody. "You're a bit late but that's ok. Sure your not used to this type of thing." The convention center was huge inside there was stalls everywhere, selling everything from toys that were old or very new, vintage and new comics.
"Never been to a comic con before?" the man said who was walking back to me.
