Before starting to hike the mountain, Jackson reminded them several times about precautions and emergency procedure. He talked for almost half an hour and if Hillary didn't kick her brother to stop, he'd probably take his time until the sun sets and they won't have any source of light to help them find the way. In truth, it wasn't really that late. It was just 2 o'clock in the afternoon.
Hillary introduced the five other people who came with them and to Serina's surprise, one of them was even the youngest son of the city mayor. Although he's the youngest, he was three years older than her. His name was Timothy. The other guy was Hillary's classmate named, Jonathan. As for the three girls, they were Hillary and Brigette's new found friends in senior high. When told about their ages, Serina realized that she was the only minor among the group. Although she was once classmates with Hillary and Brigette, these two people were actually one year older than her.
