Miranda escorted Kelly to a modified black SUV sporting armored skirts and a spiked metal grill at the front. It was the first such vehicle Kelly had seen in Olympus.
Miranda noticed Kelly's doubtful gaze and quickly cleared her confusion. "It's an armored escort car, designed to protect the occupants from conventional firearms. Even its windows are completely bulletproof. You'll be safe inside this. I guarantee it."
"Why do I need this kind of car?" Kelly asked.
"It's for your safety, Ms. Jones. Nine Blades isn't some small-time street gang. They have deep pockets and a lot of dangerous connections. We just want to keep you protected."
It was clear from Miranda's reply that there was a high chance they'd run into the gang on their way to the newsroom.
R70 News had its main office in Zarkon. It was expected to be a fifteen-minute ride if all things went according to plan.
