After lunch, they continued on their journey.
Daisy Zane dozed off again after getting back into the car.
Firstly, she hadn't slept the previous night and was genuinely tired. Secondly, it was genuinely quite uneventful... seemingly calm and peaceful all the time.
But... since they were carrying the 'Thing', how could it remain calm and peaceful all the time.
It was 2:06 in the afternoon, local time.
Daisy Zane heard the gunfire and opened her eyes.
Simultaneously, voices came from the walkie-talkies inside the car.
In their car, other than the driver, there was only Michael Jackson in the copilot seat and Daisy Zane in the backseat.
A burst of static, then voices from the walkies talking about being ambushed by more than one group of people.
It could be some powers temporarily teaming up to intercept Dark Radiance's 'Thing', or it could simply be every faction trying to compete on their own.
