The law firm made his airplane reservations and booked everything else, for which Cody was grateful. All he had to do was write down the booking confirmation number and his connections. At the airport, he fought the overwhelming urge to exchange the ticket for another flight. Any other flight. Tell nobody where he was going (who cared, anyway?
