Scene to read · Collaboration, Problem solving
The same black suitcase
You are a traveler waiting at an airport baggage carousel.
Chidi and Bradley, two passengers from your flight, each have a hand on the same unlabeled black suitcase. Its zippers are sealed with a plastic security tie that only the baggage desk can cut, and neither kept a claim stub. You were beside the belt and saw Chidi lift it off, but nothing you saw shows whose it is.
The scene
Chidi: It's mine. My connection boards in thirty minutes, I have to run.
Bradley: It's mine, same scuffed corner. The desk can cut the seal and settle it.
Chidi: That line's twenty minutes! Take my number. If I'm wrong, I'll ship it back.
Bradley: My laptop's in there. You were standing right here. What did you see?
