The Grandfather of the Reunion

Prologue 3-3

Ol' reliable

Starting major memory playback with: memory of certain day

[Back to the people going back to the cabin, Hosea stops at literally nothing, not even animals fleeing from the danger that is the erupting coil. He actually shoots them instead, using his Glock 19 taken from the Guard Station. Because he is driving in a speedy motion, he has to shoot them twice or thrice to put them down, or just enough to make them run away.]

[Mephisto, from the back of the gun truck, really wanted to use the machine gun turret, to help Hosea out, and to let out some stressful steam, but Faust clings onto him tightly when he tries. The front armoured bumper attached to the car helped at turning those pesky fleeing animals into roadkill. That bumper is gonna stink and rust without proper maintenance.]

[They eventually made it to the clearing where Hosea and Talulah stopped at, and knowing that the path is wide enough for a bike, let alone a pickup truck with a gun, Hosea drives through, honking his horn on the while to lure in AJ.]

[AJ tunes into Hosea's radio, which is attached to one of the carabiners in his bag. The loud roar of Hosea's engine made it hard for him to hear, and since the coil is melting down, perhaps the transmitter became a radio jammer, as all Hosea could hear was static, but AJ continued to follow.]

Mephisto: "I admit! I didn't expected to be chosen! But I'm glad I am!"

Faust: "Eno, you should know, we're potentially risking our lives here. Sure, two days is a lot in living standards, but we gotta act fast, okay?"

Mephisto: "Not sure how many stuff we have to carry though!"

Faust: "Not sure if Hosea can even carry something heavy as much as you could. I mean, he did made you his carrier pigeon."

AJ: "Wait what?"

Mephisto: "He had a good reason to! Besides, I'm...used to carry heavy things before I met you, maybe in elementary school. 'I was carrying my own house!' They said!"

Faust: "How...can you even lift?"

Mephisto: "Easy! With my arms and legs!"

Faust: "I... You're technically right."

[The shortcuts Hosea and Talulah marked on the way back, as well as the landmarks he put out, made the trip more easier and sooner than the one they faced before. If only Talulah was present, it would've made it more quicker than what has been expected, nevertheless, they made it into familiar ground.]

[From Gordon's father's grave, to the river leading downstream, to a small cave made into a temporary camp, they finally made it to the massive and spacious clearing.]

[Hosea parked his motorcycle near the cabin, and so did AJ. Faust and Mephisto was at awe at the sight of nature. With big trees acting as natural barriers for the cabin. The small hill housing the cabin that gives a vantage point. The fresh water river with cattails slowly dying for some reason. The fertile grass, with animals not present due to...well, forced migration. Mephisto can't stop looking at the sky, the bright red and misty sky, it has been a while since he's noticed nature in full beauty though.]

[Hosea disembarked his motorcycle, and quickly removes his bag from the rear baggage railing. While the rest were slowly admiring the view, Hosea then orders them, gently, and calmly, although, there is a certain panic rush in his step.]

Hosea: *He yanks the key out from the ignition, and pockets it.* "Alright, people! Let's go inside the cabin, and search for this hatch."

Mephisto: "Where'd this cabin come from?"
