Once everyone else was in, he started the truck. A GPS started up wit a route already programmed, and he smiled in a pleased manner. He pulled out of the lot and drove down the road. He was glad to finally be alone, and he turned on the radio, but kept it down low.
Element sat with her knees to her chest, twiddling her thumbs.
Avery sighed and stared off into space. Thoughts and memories floated through her mind as they drove.
Avery walked down a hallway with five other girls. They opened a random door and walked into a room, wires were everywhere. The ground started to shake, and Avery mentioned it to the other girls. When they took no notice of it, she ignored it the next time it happened. It happened a third time, and she told them to get underneath the large, metal table that was in the center of the room. They did.
Then the room collapsed around them.
Vaughn drives until he fulled up to a gate, a watch tower hovering in the distance. He checked the key card for the guards name as he pulled up. He held out the card to the man at the gate before getting buzzed in. He drove the truck into the lot and parked it. He got out and went to the back of the truck, swinging open the back doors.
With a shake of her head, Avery cleared her thoughts. It won't help to think about that, now. Stay focused on the present.
A little voice piped up in the back of her mind, whispering, Like Dylan's sky-blue eyes?
Avery blinked, then quickly glanced over at him. He looked like he was sleeping; his eyes were closed and his chest was moving up and down rhythmically. She shook her head again. Why was she thinking about that at a time like this?
(What happened to @ShadowMisfit ?)
Lenny saw the doors open, and blinked rather fast due to the light that filled the dark space.
Vaughn’s gun was in his hand now as he stood there. “Out, now!” He demanded sharply, his expression cruel but his eyes are reassuring.
Lenny stood, and hopped out of the truck, eyes lowered.
Avery blinked at Vaughn's tone, but she was reassured by the look in his eyes. She climbed out after Lenny, keeping her head down.
Once they were all out, he nudged them foreword and walked behind them toward the entrance. He kept his gun trained on them, but he left the safety on.
A guard stopped them at the door. "State your business," he barked, looking the group over.
“Boss wanted me to take them in, not sure why though,” Vaughn said, shrugging his shoulders. “Some top secret buisness, as usual, y’know?” He chuckled and arched a brow.
The guard glared at him, seemingly not finding the situation funny. He grunted.
"A'right," he muttered, opening the doors warily.
(This is seeming way too easy for them…)
(Yeah, maybe someone inside would recognize that the last name on the card is not the same person as Vaughn (appearance wise))
Vaughn led them inside and glanced around. “The hell do we do now?” He muttered quietly to Avery.
"I didn't exactly get this far in my plan," she whispered back, her mouth barely moving enough to form the words. "I honestly didn't think you guys would agree with it, and then I didn't know if we'd get this far!"
“Great,” Vaughn muttered to himself. “What did we come here for in the first plan? Or was this just a field trip like situation?” He led them through the compound, scoping out the area.
"I don't know!" Avery quietly exclaimed. Turning to Dylan, she asked, "Why did we come here?"
(I wonder what happened to @ShadowMisfit ?)
(Not sure, probably just busy.)
(Probably.)
(Heya guys, sorry I've been so tied up. I'm caught up though. Just don't know exactly where to go from here.)
Dylan opened one eye and responded, "I have a hunch, and we need info to confirm it. If I'm right, then finding the Flame will be a heckuva lot easier. If not, then we might have to get our hands bloody. We'll see where it goes."
(No problem. It's fine; I'm just impatient…)
"So… Then where are we supposed to go now? 'Cause we can't just wander around here," Avery gestured to the hall they were currently standing in. "We're more likely to get caught if we just wander around."
Vaughn nodded in agreement. “The guard at the front seemed suspicious, so it’d be best to do what we have to do, then get out quick,” he commented.
"I'm looking for a commander. His name is Reiseil. Vaughn, you can take Element and ask around. I can vanish, and Avery can become inconspicuous. A mouse, perhaps?" He chuckled, giving Avery a smile, "Ignore me. The effect is the same, though. We spread out, find Reiseil, and leave."
