for a flight with no layovers—thank you James Edelson.
    He and Robin were allowed to be the first to disembark and Mr. Edelson said that there would be a car waiting for them. Jason had earned a jab to the arm when he advised Mr. Edelson to make sure the car was big enough to accommodate Robin’s entire luggage. Robin was just happy that she had packed as much as she had. She had looked at the prices in Tokyo and she would not be going on any shopping sprees.
    As the two made their way to the terminal Robin saw a sign that said simply WOS, being held over the head of a young Asian man that looked like a teenager.
    “Is that us?” she asked as she began to walk in that direction.
    Jason caught her hand. “No. Mr. Edelson is over here.”
    Robin turned and saw that indeed, the neatly dressed white haired man was waiting for them with a broad smile. Robin then noticed that there were other people holding signs over their heads. Some said Top, some said Wheels of Steel and a few signs read Soul Horizon , which was the name of the first collaboration album between Wheels of Steel and Akita Tom.
    Robin stared with her mouth agape until Jason tugged her arm and urgently whisked her in the direction of Mr. Edelson who quickly boarded them into a mobile luggage cart. A driver in uniform was already behind the wheel.
    A moment later a girl screamed. “TOP! It’s Top!”
    By then they were already driving away. Jason and Robin craned their necks at the twenty or so teens that were trying to catch sight of them. Uniformed security kept the fans from chasing the cart.
    Robin looked at Jason who was equally as surprised.
    “Jeez,” she said, “Did you know you had groupies?”
    Jason’s mouth was still open as he shook his head. “J just said that there would be a luggage cart waiting so that I wouldn’t have to try to navigate through the crowd …”
    Mr. Edelson placed a hand on Jason’s shoulder. “We have no idea how they figured out which flight you were arriving on. We got Belinda and Peter through easily with only a few fans waiting in the terminal.” Mr. Edelson didn’t seem surprised that there were fans waiting for Jason as he gave a quick glance at the disappearing throng of yelling people.
    Jason looked at Mr. Edelson. “J, maybe we should go back so that I can sign some autographs.”
    Mr. Edelson smiled. “No, that’s not a good idea. You can sign autographs at the events—that way we’ll have the adequate security available.”
    Security? Robin thought, still in a state of disbelief. Jason wasn’t a shooting star. He was already a star.
     

     
    They were driven straight to a waiting limousine.
    “Wait, what about our luggage?” Robin stated before she would climb into the large vehicle.
    “No worries.” Mr. Edelson stated. “Your luggage will be waiting for you at the house.”
    Jason was just getting ready to step into the limo when he stopped. “Akita’s house?”
    “Yes, is that alright?” Mr. Edelson asked.
    Jason gave Robin a pensive look. “Robin … uh, that’s where Y and Amberly are living …”
    Robin’s face fell, but she quickly caught herself. This wasn’t about her this was about Jason.
    She gave him a quick smile. “It’s fine, Jason.”
    Mr. Edelson looked over his shoulder where several young fans had evidently recognized Jason—or perhaps they recognized his red hair because they were yelling in excitement and coming towards them at a rapid rate.
    “I suggest we continue this conversation inside the limo.”
    Robin quickly climbed in, followed by Jason and then Mr. Edelson who had to block the door with his body to prevent three girls waving papers to be autographed to bowl them over.
    “J, roll down the window and let me sign a few.” Jason said.
    The older man didn’t seem to think it was a very good idea but the smile on Jason’s face as he spent the next five minutes signing autographs and thanking the fans was enough to put an end to the protests.
    “Now
