Hialeah and Chloe were making their way through the woods, Hialeah in front she kept her eyes peeled for any threats that may try and pop out at them. "How far until we reach this 'town of yours Chlo?" She asked shooting a quick glance to her friend who was following close behind.
"It should be right in front of us, maybe through a few more tree's unless you got us turned around and lost." Chloe retorted with a jab at her friend, in reality she trusted in Hialeah enough to lead them through anything, she'd proven that early on in their days together, when they were leaving Kentucky.
Shooting a "fuck you" smile towards her friend Hialeah faced forward again, her compound bow at the ready as they moved through the next set of woods it didn't take long before the tree's began to fall away and in their stead was something, that managed to take the breath from even the likes of Hialeah. An island, with walls, and guards on the towers near a bridge. "Huh." Hialeah chuckled. "So the rumors were true." Looking at the place a bit longer Hialeah cracked a smile and shook her head. "Well, time to see if the rumors of a 'civilized town' hold true eh Chloe?" She asked shooting another glance to her friend, who was unsurprisingly sitting their with her mouth open in awe of the town in front of them.
shaking out of her trance Chloe looked Hialeah for a moment and shrugged. "so, what's the plan?"
"You stay here, I'll go in, if they're good I'll tell them where you are and bring you in, if they aren't and you don't hear anything within 6 hours, leave." Hialeah answered. Seeing Chloe open her mouth to answer she simply put a finger to her friends lips to silence her. "No questions, you know the drill"
Dropping the thought Chloe just nodded. Yea.. Okay."
And with that Hialeah swung her bow over her shoulder and pushed through the tree's, reaching the bridge she returned the glances of the watch towers as they came, coming to a checkpoint of sorts she couldn't help but feel like everyone was looking at her like they had just seen a ghost. One of the guards started to speak but his voice caught in his throat.
"Hey Boss? You there?" Another guard said through a radio, watching him in weary curiosity Hialeah placed a hand on the handle of her hatchet as a voice responded to the guard from the other side of the radio connection. "We got a new one here, Moving them to processing but... you might want to take a look at this one.. and you may want to bring Ziggy along if she's available." Watching the guard until he clipped the radio back on to his belt Hialeah kept a weary eye on him as he motioned for her to follow. Doing so she soon found herself in a small room with nothing but a table, and three chairs. 'A interrogation room? and the way they were looking at me... the hell they think I am? a crazy forest creature or something?' She thought.
Having been instructed to place her weapons and gear on the table in front of her by the guard Hialeah did as she was instructed, making sure to place her weapons within easy reach she sat, The guard then left the room with one last line "they'll be with you shortly."
Now alone Hialeah waited, going back to the radio convo the guard went through she had a pretty good idea who would walk through the door next, the question was though... who were they. this 'Boss and Zigs' her interest peaked Hialeah leaned back, crossed her arms, and closed her eyes. Waiting, and listening, for the sound of the door to open.
