“Alright then, gang! Where do we go? They never specified any directions!” Daepi yelled. She had to yell because the sound of the wind made it difficult to listen to nearby speech. The wind was a muffling distortion that took over the noise. Daepi’s yelling blocked it out.

“I don’t know, I’ll figure it out!” Shaggy responded loudly as he made a turn left.

“Why are you so sure? Let me take the wheel!” Nora shouted while trying to take the wheel from Shaggy.

“Shut up! I said, I don’t know!” Shaggy replied.

“Jesus Christ, you idiots. Just calm down.” 🅱 said in his loudest voice, which wasn’t that loud.

“What are you saying, U+1F171? Are you saying that Nora knows mo—”

The quadbike skidded on the road, made a sharp and loud SQUEEEEEEE, and then slid to the far left as if to make a U-turn, but it didn’t for the turn was too blunt. So blunt that…

It crashed.

“We’re screwed. We’re done for.” Shaggy remarked with great pessimism and frustration.

“How are we done for? You should expect those two guys to give us approximate directions or something…” Daepi replied, her hopes still high.

“Daepi is right. We should be patient and wait for directions.” 🅱 agreed.

“Yeah. Plus we could be going in the opposite direction!” Nora added.

Shaggy growled as if to turn into a monster. Ticking was felt in his veins. It was a disturbance.

“WHAT IF THEY DON’T GIVE DIRECTIONS? IT DOESN’T SEEM RIGHT TO ME! THEY’RE PROBABLY TRICKING US. PUTTING US INTO A TRAP!” Shaggy yelled. “Let’s go back home.” he said calmly, but anger was still in his voice.

Shaggy hit the gas on the quadbike and FLOOM!!!

A quiet voice murmured from 🅱’s pocket. “Hey.” was all it said.

“Hey! Did you hear that?” Daepi yelled.

“WHAT?” Shaggy shouted back.

“The device. It said ‘Hey’. I’m serious. It actually did. They’re talking to us!” Daepi replied.

🅱 got the device out of his pocket. It was still in good condition and it was most likely making the noise. Shaggy stopped the quadbike in order to listen more carefully to the whisper of a sound.

“Hey.” the voice whispered again.

“Yeah, we’re here. What’s up?” Daepi responded.

“We have coordinates. Their margin of error is approximately 0.05 degrees, but they’re still good. However, we do not know which weapon is in which coordinate.” it confirmed.

“Yeah, what are they?” she asked, while grabbing her minicomputer.

The voice responded with each of the coordinates clearly. Daepi took note of each, while the voice announced them, on her minicomputer, which was somewhat more advanced than everyone else’s. She also calculated which set is the closest and which one is the farthest.

“Alright. Second match is closest. GPS?” she concluded.

Everyone agreed to set the GPS’ destination to the closest location. Daepi gave her minicomputer to Shaggy and he lodged it onto the mount, located on top of the bike’s built-in computer.

After that, Shaggy turned the quadbike around smoothly. It left the road clean of marks. He headed north.

The journey has begun.
