The next morning I found myself in a room with fifteen people: Alex, Ethan, Matt, Luke, Ty, Laura, Will, Leo, Holly, Victoria, Rick, Tommy, Sofia, Lucas, and lastly Noah.
Noah sat at the head of the conference table, his trusty map spread out and a stack of photocopies of the map beside it.
"From here our next destination is Tulelake wildlife reserve, on a regular day last year the drive would take us nine hours, however, the route we're taking passes by multiple towns and there are rumours of wildlife acting strange, so I won't force any of you to continue with me, General Blackwood is happy to keep any of you here so it's not too late to back out."
Nobody so much as stirred, happy with our silence he continued explaining the route to each of us, his face devoid of all emotion, completely in work mode.
