Stella sleepily stepped out of her car at the airport. "I'm glad I always carry my passport," she thought. As she grabbed her bags from the backseat she saw Clara. Clara looked tired as well, but they had arrived in time for the van shuttle over to the plane. The rest of the group was starting to load vans.
"I can't believe I'm going on this trip," Stella said.
"Yeah. Let's get in the front van. Nobody ever sits in the front van and then we can be alone, " Clara suggest.
So they walked to the large white Astro van that headed the caravan. They climbed in with all their things and settled into the middle seat. Diana Ross was sitting in the front seat of the van with the driver. Stella and Clara calmly greeted the star and thanked her for joining them on their trip.
As the van pulled up to the plane, Bruno was standing outside with his arms crossed.
"How dare you?!" he barked.
"What's the problem?" asked Clara.
"You two have the nerve to drive here together AND to ride in the van with Diana?"
"But we didn't come together. Both of our cars are in the parking garage. Go check if you don't believe us," Stella blurted "And we didn't know we were in the Diana van. Everybody else was already loading the other vans. We just picked that van because nobody was in it."
"Nobody in this group wanted you here in the first place and then you go a take away their chance to ride to the airplane with Diana Ross. You'll have to be punished, " Bruno told the girls.
He turned the group who was now seated in the glamorous dining hall that sat near the runway.
"These two drove to the airport together and they rode in the van with Diana Ross. If you wanted to ride in the van with Diana, please raise your hand."
All of the hands went up. Stella was getting nervous. This group was vicious and she didn't want to make them angry.
Bruno began again..."If you think these two should be punished for their actions against the group, please raise your hand."
All of the hands went up. Stella turned to Clara and whispered, " we have to do something. They'll tear us to shreds if we don't. They have to know the truth." Clara shook her head and muttered "it's too late for all of that."
It was then that Stella realized that Diana Ross would cause her death.
