Close Calls

"Hello good sir." Trish pulls Kasper by his arm up into the check-in desk, "This is Kasper Knepflo (William Capsi) and I am his plus one, Tricia Brice (Sarah Yetts). Our names should be on the list so if you could get us signed up and registered we would appreciate it." the girl casts her pearly white smile at the random guy sitting behind the desk.

"Identification please..." the man replies in a monotone voice.

"You have our IDs, right babe?" Trish turns to Kasper as her hands rub up and down his arms, "I don't have my clutch purse darlin'."

"Y-Yeah, yeah I do." Kasper reaches his right hand around and into the middle of his suite jacket. His fingers work into the pocket right inside and shortly afterwards he pulls out a leather wallet and his hands start to open it up. He's shaking very nervously and he can barely open up the contents of the little black square.

"Darlin'" Trish grips Kasper's wrist and takes the wallet from his grasp, "I got it." she opens up the wallet without any hesitation before locating the two fake identication cards that were made effectively from none other than Kassandra. "Here you go, Hun." the raven haired bombshell replies with a smile as she holds out the two cards to the man behind the desk.

"Thank you ma'am." he takes both the cards, taking one at a time and inserting it into a slot on his Tablet, "It will only be half a minute or so." he replies as he stares on the screen waiting for a confirmation.

"Shit." a voice rings through the comm system, "Shit shit shit..." it whispers out again as Kassandra seems to be experiencing some difficulties, "No worries you two, just some added security to the check in, give me a bit..."

The Tablet continues to scan the first identification card as it's trying to process and confirm the fake card but it waits, waits, scans and scans. The man behind the counter turns his head to the side and begins to whisper words into a comm of his own.

"Something wrong?" Tricia continues with her friendly tone as she hugs Kasper in closer which only causes the man behind the desk to look at the screen once more before glancing up at the two of them. He stares at Tricia for about five seconds before turning his gaze to Kasper who seems like a complete mess. He's swallowing hard, his body is shaking slightly and he has a coating of perspiration covering his entire forehead.

"Okay and... now!" Kassandra says through the voice comm at the same time a ding courses out from the tablet. The look of shock from the man's face lights up as his eyes go wide. He shortly afterwards turns his head again and whispers into his comm before pulling out the ID card and inserting the next. The same thing happens only this time a lot quicker, the card gets inserted in, it scans for about five seconds before a ding happens.

"Here are your cards back." the man gives both the cards back to Trish, "And you two are good to go, straight through the door behind me. Take a look at the seating arrangements at the entrance to find out which table you will be seated at." the monotone man continues, "Dinner will be ready within thirty minutes."

"Thanks, love." Trish places the two fake ID cards back into Kasper's leather wallet before sliding it back into his suite jacket. "Deep breath, Kasper." she whispers out as her mouth once more gets so close to the boy's own face, "Stop worrying so much, just breath and pretend we are truly here for a conference."

"I-I know... I know Trish." Kasper forces a smile. "I'm trying here, I really am it's just..."

Trish brings her hand up and rubs the side of his cheek and grants him a peaceful glance, "I know." her lip curls up in a smile, "I know you are." the way she's being so affectionate to the boy causes him to gulp down and stand there speechless, "Well, come on, let's get to dinner." she bites her lower lip before she turns around and pulls the boy towards the doors behind the check in counter and towards the dining area.
