            Trevor was hauling along the highway four, blaring music as he did. David looked like he could barely stand it as he squirmed in his seat. The car was warm enough, but although he drove ten miles faster than the speed limit, it didn’t seem he could get there fast enough. He almost went into the other lane when he rounded a turn, but didn’t. He stopped close to where Blaine gave him the address and stepped out at the gas station to get gas. He rung up $10.38 and went to pump it. There he looked at the handles dazily and begun pumping gasoline into the car more quickly then he could count. Once he was finished, he ran to the driver’s seat and got to the stoplight in the center crossroad of two highways. He turned the wheels and went right going all the way to where he needed to be on the highway to get to Blaine’s. Alex followed.

            Then, he turned down a side road and then another until he’d reached the way he had to go to get to his house. That was when he saw the place. A grandeur-esque country home with all the land you could want. Trevor rolled in through the long winding driveway and came to a stop in front of a large house with a garage door and high porch with a fabulous looking entryway. He scooped up out of the car and stepped out after turning it off swiftly and seeing Alex follow up behind with his passengers. Trevor took this as his leave to go up to the door to get him. He pushed the doorbell hard and in one minute he got outside and walked down with him. He found him quite venerable and roped him in. He shook his hand and urged him to get in the car, but he refused and entered Alex’s car without a budge. Trevor was perturbed by this but ended up getting in his driver’s seat per usual with grace. Minutes passed and Trevor was ultimately stumped on how to back out. So he whipped around and got to the end facing forward and rolled on out of there with time to spare. He pattered on out of the swiveled end of the driveway and moved down the side-road, palping his attention of David who sat like a ghost in the side-seat and waited. It occurred to him that he didn’t need to have Blaine in the vehicle for the trip and settled into a stride across the highway, past the wooded before-stops with hundreds of miles of forest, and back through the station light. There was a beam of light corralling through the barred spaces of the car. There wasn’t much to do, so he grabbed a cigarette out of the sticky sides of the car’s pockets and pulled and set his smoke aflame. He crossed a bridge that sat high and relented a wide-view of a lake that looked epic underneath the March sky. He hung his head low to see under the glare that clasped his eyes to see far. Over the water there were ridges that cut in to the coast of the lake and even one in the center that stood out as an individual piece of land that hovelled like a rock. All of the water was clear as a summer’s day.

            Highway four wasn’t all that crowded, but there were some incursions and blockages that held for a nuisance and spotty traffic. Overall he had no stop-lights to worry about except the one that crossed a city boulevard and moved on through the outside of his own city. Scrolling past an apartment complex or five before hitting the light that led to his own major highway that ran all the way back to his own residence. He chose to gather them at his house; willingly of course. He dug in deep to get home as exponentially fast as possible. Seeding the light sources of the necklaces was first on the list of things to be done. It was too bad Simon wasn’t home. He would have had to have his necklace seeded within the time frame of them all being done. When he got home he strolled into the driveway; it was about seven p.m. and clouds rolled over the hills as evening set in. The order of business was to sick them all on the hooded figure. He’d left out going to get Simon or Jamie because if they were needed he would’ve turned to go get them. But, no. It was cold outside and starting to get late. If anything was to be done it would have to be finished in the following three to four hours.
