Brief stop, and departure [1]

Ever since leaving my parents, two days have passed.

Late into the night, with a full moon hanging in the sky, I pressed onto the gas pedal of a large black eight-passenger SUV.

Having made all the necessary preparations, and pretty much spending every single penny I had, it was now time for me to leave. 

Slowly the car sped into the night. 

As I was driving, turning my head, and looking at Ryan whose eyes were glued onto his tablet, I asked. 

"Ryan, is there a signal coming from my chip?" 

"No, nothing yet." 

Ryan replied.

His eyes never left the tablet in his hands. 

"Alright." 

Turning my attention back towards the road, I sighed in relief. 

I still had time. This was good.

Good because I still had one thing to do before leaving the human domain, and that was recruit one last guy.

Hein Kraaijenschot. 

My meat shield.
