A nondescript pickup pulls in front of what appears to be an abandoned building at the far corner of SeaTAC airport. A common looking man steps out, stands next to the truck and looks around. He is wearing an old beatup flannel shirt, fleece vest and an faded orange "Luckys Flying Service" hat. He pulls off his sunglass's and places them on the bill of his hat.

"Hmmm." he says to no one as he looks around.

He makes his way towards the building and notices how neglected this building really is. He grabs the door knob and gives it a twist.

"Locked."

In the background, a twin engine plane is just departing the runway. He looks towards the plane and watches it slowely lumber into the sky. He notices the markings on the tail.

"PacNW Flight Services" he says to himself. "Well, that's good, means there is still work here."
He stands in front of the building again as if in deep thought. A few minutes later, a quick smirk flashes across his face as he then turns around and reaches again towards the door. Placing his arm through a broken piece of glass, he reaches in and grabs the locked door from the inside and unlocks it. With some effort, he pushes the door open. As he steps inside he says "Lets see what we have to work with."

Looking around inside the building, he notices a rather dilapated map of the world on the wall. A large corner section has been ripped and is only being held on the wall by a couple of push pins. As he walks towards the map, he spots a spiral notebook on a worn table in the corner and diverts his direction towards the table. Picking up the notebook, he begins flipping though the pages. On the inside cover their are list of names followed by what looks like a crayon mark.

Cap'n Dave (blue crayon mark)
Lukecom (green crayon mark)
Geoff (red crayon mark)

.....and so on. Looking at the entire cover, about 15 total names with colors are listed. He glances back at the map on the wall and now notices that each pin on the map has a different color. Looking back at the notebook and continuing to flip though pages, it is clear that this book and the names and colors correspond with pins on the map. Several sections of the notebook are dedicated to specific names of pilots located on the inside cover and indicate last logged flights, earnings and miscellaneous notes of those pilots. Walking over to the map, it is becomes clear that the pins on the map indicate where several of the people in the notebook were last known to be.

"Hmmm," he once again says to no one.

Time passes as he studies the notebook and the wall map.

A cellphone rings. He pulls a late 90's era brick phone out of his back pocket and answers it.

"Hello?"

"This is he."

Uh huh. I'm in Seattle."

"Yup."

"Uhhhh...well, yeah, I suppose. Hang on, let me check."

He pulls out his wallet and flips though some bills.

"Yeah, I can probably do it. Give me a couple of days and I'll let you know when I'm there."

"Okay. Later."

Grabbing the notebook once again, he cross references a push pin that is located on the western most island of Hawaii. Ni'ihau.

"What the heck is out there?" he asks the room.

"Well, alright, guess that makes the decision for me."

He pulls his phone back out and dials a number.

"Simon. Yeah, it's me. Need a favor por favor."

"Hawaii. Yeah. Tomorrow?"

"Perfect. Yup, see ya then."

Grabbing the notebook, he looks around one more time and notices the dust and grime everywhere. Shaking his head and with a smile he makes his way back to his pickup.
