Meanwhile at Helsinki-Vantaa airport, Sugar is dragging a protesting Sys towards the American Airlines check-in desk.

"But Sugar, do you honestly think a handpuppet is going to fool them?"

"Oh yes", Sugar says sunnily and proceeds to drag Sys to the inevitable confrontation with airlines personnel.

Luckily for them, a mysterious hooded figure has been following their antics for a while, and now, taking pity on them, comes to their aid.

When Sugar and handpuppet-Brad wave hi to the check-in lady, the mysterious stranger brings mysterious jedi mind tricks to work!

"See, I told you it would work!" Sugar says to the stunned Sys when they are running to make it to the soon-departing plane.

"But how the hell..."

"I told you! Handpuppets! Gets them every time!" If Sugar's grin wasn't so frighteningly manic, Sys would object.

What they don't notice is the hooded and cloaked figure that slips into the plane unseen and, being unnoticeable, takes the liberty to stash away most of the alcoholic substances on the service trolley...

I like to pay attention to the men behind the curtain.
