TAKEN

I thought this only happens in the movies..

I was in line at the Cairo International Airport arrival hall, waiting to pass their immigration when one tall Egyptian guy approached me and asked me about the name of my ship..

I answered.

He said, "Come follow me.."

So I did.

Then I saw another guy, he's short, a bit fat, gray hair and talking to someone on the phone.

I approached him because was holding a sign with my name on it. So I excitedly told him, "That's me! That's me!"

He said, "Give me your passport!" and off we went to a special line.

And then he give it to the officer and ordered me to stay put, wait for my passport and meet him outside.

So I did.

After I collected my luggage, he told me again, "Come!"

And I followed him outside. A black car parked in front of us, a dark-skinned twenty something egyptian guy, came out from the driver seat, grabbed my luggage, threw it in the trunk and ordered me to get in. I didn't move. He said, "Let's go!" I looked at the older guy puzzled. Unsure what's going on because I'm not suppose to leave the airport. I have one more flight to my ship! But the older guy opened the door for me, so I went in..

And this is what happened..

I'm still alive by the way.

It turned out I really have to take a car to take my next flight because it's on a different airport!

So I really would like to take my agents for acting so quick and doing their jobs very well. I jumped a lot of lines just to get ahead and check-in first.

They gave me a bit of a fright but I guess this is how the Egyptian Agents handle their most valued clients.

Just like in the movies!
