It was getting late. Neena hurried, throwing on a pair of jeans and looking frantically for clean t-shirt. The only one she could find belonged to Diego. It was black, a bit too big, and it had some sort of logo on it. It wasn’t advertising alcohol, though, and that was the most important factor. Neena put it on. She didn’t bother to put on any makeup, even though she was positive she looked as stressed as she felt. After she looked at herself in the mirror, she decided to put her hair up. “You’re a mess,” she told her reflection.
Neena tried to tidy up, picking up the used cigarettes and beer bottles that were evidence of the previous night's happenings. Diego wouldn't wake up, despite her pleads, and despite the day closing in on evening. At least she managed to chase the last stragglers of his friends out of the house. Small progress is better than no progress.
The clock on the wall struck four, causing Neena to swear. There was no doubt about it, she'd be late no matter how fast she drove. Grabbing her keys, she eyed her cigarettes, which were on the table next to her purse. With another swear, she left them there, taking her purse and running out the door. Diego's car was his pride and joy. Neena didn't want to know the details on how he managed to afford it, but it was pristine. He didn't allow smoking inside of it, which without a doubt indicated how much he loved the car. It smelled like leather. Neena hated it.
Once she made it to the airport, she parked and ran inside, keeping an eye on her watch. Lino would have been waiting for about fifteen minutes. She hoped he wasn't mad. She hoped he was excited to see her. And she hoped she was excited to see him. Scrutinizing every face, she began looking for the man she only knew by pictures - her brother.
