Strolling past with a new sense of confidence, the boys gave Max a knowing smile which he returned along with a nod, "Take good care of her, boys." Max quipped, his tone serious.

"Always." David replied, answering not only for himself, but for his brothers too.

With that being said, they all sauntered off, sly smiles etched onto each of their faces as they stared after her in pure trepidation for what was to come - their first interaction.

The cool night air swirled madly around Hanna as she followed a mysterious backroad towards where the map showed the police station, her white dress caressed her creamy thighs as she walked and her chocolate curls bounced and swayed with each step she took on the uneven road.

It had been no less than thirty minutes since she left the busy boardwalk, yet the further she travelled, not once did she see a single sign or car pass her by on her trek. How could the road of such an important destination lack the busyness it usually harbours? Better yet, how could such an important place lack a single sign?

For the past fifteen minutes or so she had been walking up the road in pure confusion, her phone illuminating the map in her hand with its pale, yet blinding, light. She had studied the map at least several times since she left the video store, yet the line Max had drawn for her seemed to lead her into the middle of nowhere.

Every turn she took lead her further and further away from the boardwalk. Away from the crowds, away from the light, away from safety.

Feeling unsure about the directions she was taking, Hanna stopped moving and decided it would probably be best to head back and start from the beginning. Perhaps Max accidentally drew the wrong direction? It was plausible. He did seem in a rush to guide her out of the store; maybe he wasn't paying attention to where he was drawing and instead circled a random route knowing she wouldn't know any better.

This idea made her release an irritated huff.

"If he really did do that just to get me out of his shop - I'm gonna be pissed!" She exclaimed angrily, her voice drifting through the desolate area and causing an abundance of noise to erupt from the high branches of the nearby trees as the sleeping birds fluttered around in alarm at her loud voice penetrating the otherwise quiet night.

Shaking the uneasiness and frustrations from her head, she turned sharply on her heel, the flashlight on her phone beaming through the darkness at her surroundings.
