Mike had promised Thomas they'd do something together once the plane arrived on set. He didn't tell the boy that it had arrived only that they were all four going out to lunch. They all packed into Butterfly's car. He tried to convince her to drive but gave up once Thomas started getting antsy. They had a nice lunch at a small Mexican resturant that Butterfly really liked. It was relaxed despite Thomas asking questions about everything that was hanging on the wall. Mike used to get unnerved by it but then he realized something. Thomas was acting so much like Mike had to his own brother. That alone changed the perspective on everything. Mike slowly began settling in to being a mentor. He never really treated Thomas like his son though he called Mike dad and Mike referred to him as a son. The true meaning of those words Mike was not comfortable with. Instead he opted to treat him like a little brother.
After lunch they headed back but Mike took a detour out to the airfield where the stunt crew was setting up. Thomas was int he back talking to Dolores and didn't immediately notice where they were. Mike drove out toward his trailer and on the other side sat the little two seated prop plane. That was what he promised Thomas though it had arrived later than anticipated. He imagined by now Thomas thought they weren't going at all. Mike pulled up and turned off the car before turning back to the boy. Mike couldn't help but get excited to see when Thomas noticed. It was until right now that he understood why his brother Bob had tolerated him for so long. None of them had met Bob or his mother yet. Mike had it in his mind that maybe after this shoot they could all take a trip to New Mexico. He really missed his mom. All those thought though were washed away when Thomas finally saw the plane sitting in front of the car.
