5:24 PM

About 20 miles East from Portland…

Mia and Hunter drove over the paved road which is snaking through a dense forest. For this part of the trip, Mia is driving. It's for safety reasons.

"Here we go…" Mia said when they saw three men standing in the middle of the road.

"No sudden movements. These are new guys." Mia reminded Hunter while lowering the glass on her side of the car.

"What is your business here?" One man asked stiffly.

Mia showed him the black card and he pointed a gadget toward it. Purple light splashed on the black card, revealing a set of golden symbols.

The man's eyes widened in surprise and he took a step back.

"I apologize for blocking your way. You may proceed." He bowed slightly and gave a signal with his hand to the two men to move away.
