I don’t know   42  but I looked at her face and blurted out “Are you going on flight 567 to California?”
She responded “Yes.”
“So am I ” I responded．“Give me your bag. I’ll run   43  and tell them to wait for you.” I took her bag and started running again. I   44  onto the plane and told a flight attendant that one more passenger was behind me and to please   45  the plane for her. I   46  myself with her bag and a few moments later she arrived and was the last person on the plane   47  they closed the doors and   48  .
