How could this get even sicker? Oh, THAT's how.

John Mark Karr travels in elegant style on trip back from Thailand.

The 41-year-old teacher sat in a business-class window seat next to Mark Spray, an investigator with the Boulder County district attorney's office. A U.S. Embassy official and an agent with "Homeland Security" on his T-shirt were also part of the escort party.

Before takeoff, Karr took a glass of champagne from a flight attendant and clinked glasses with Spray, who sipped orange juice.

Dinner on board, served on a starched white tablecloth with silverware, was one many passengers would envy. Karr started with a pate, then had a green salad with walnut dressing. The main course was fried king prawn with steamed rice and broccoli, followed by a slice of Valrhona chocolate cake for dessert. Karr drank beer, crushing the can with his hands when it was empty, then moved on to a glass of French chardonnay with his main course.

KARR
Agent Spray? Did you feel something?

AGENT
Probably just turbulence, prisoner. Please. Enjoy your meal.

KARR
No, coming from under the seat. I thought I felt something brush against my ankle.

AGENT
Here, put this lei on. It might help you to relax.
