The next day, when the sky was still dark. Evan and Rose were getting ready to do some physical exercise. Usually, Rose would go to her grandfather's place to practice. Still, this morning, for the first time, Evan would accompany her to practice at Misty Mountain.
This Misty Mountain belongs to Collins and is closed to the public. There are trails to hike and car paths to reach the top of the mountain. The distance from their house to the mountain's top is about 3 miles. It can be reached in about an hour and a half on foot.
That morning Rose and Evan were on the hiking trail to the top. Rose would walk at the pace her grandfather had set her as part of a tailor-made sniper training program.
This was Rose's first time taking this route to the top. It was still too dark to see the path she was taking, but she could faintly see the way she was on was flanked by very shady trees.
