Your POV

I followed Mark's instructions exactly, the nearest bus stop, 500 km north of it. I took a cab and stopped them when the distance tracker on the phone reached the 500 km. There wasn't much there, well, there wasn't anything really there. It was only open land, a few trees scattered about and what looked like a forest a ways out.
I got out the car and looked around.
"You sure this is where you want to be, it could be dangerous out here ma'am" I looked down at the phone again. This is where he said. And he did say no matter what I find there.

"This is where I'm supposed to go" I said unmindfully.
"I can take you back or to the town up ahead. It's not safe out here alone, especially for a young girl" the driver said.
"There's no need for that, she'll be fine" I heard a familiar voice.
"Sèan" I exclaimed. I looked and saw him, he was in his usual clothes and wearing a cap, almost hiding his face.
"Hi lass" he said and hugged me.
"You don't have to worry. On your way now, and you never saw this girl nor me, got that" Sèan said sternly.

"What if she's reported missing, huh mister" the driver provoked.
"Sir, please. This is my friend. Sèan shouldn't we go?" I stepped in, seeing he was already starting to get pissed at the man.
"You're right, we need to get to Mark as soon as possible. They could be onto us, did he do anything to you? You're ok, right" he rattled out.
"I'm fine Sèan" I replied. The man looked at us weirdly and drove off.

"Follow me" he said and walked off to towards the trees.
"Sèan, wait. Where are we going?" I asked, following behind.
"Come on, keep up" he said. We walked into the small grope of trees. He took out a knife and started knocking the barks of the trees.

"Sèan, what're you doing?" I asked.

"Ha, got it" he exclaimed and grabbed my hand.
"If this nut job did what he said there should be a – there it is" he said and walked up to what looked like an old broken down car.
"Uh, Sèan?" I said, raising my eyebrow.

He grabbed an end of the 'car' and pulled it. It was a tarp. Under it was a new black Range Rover Jeep. He got in the driver's seat and motioned me to get in the passenger's side.
"Where the hell did you get this from? And why was it here?" I asked him, looking at him.
"Connections with an ally. When we get to the place Mark will explain everything once we got everything in place" he said, starting the jeep.

"Gimme that phone" he said, I handed him it and he tossed it out the window to the front of the jeep.
"Sèan, what the hell?"
"We can't have anyone tracking. That's a possible way" he said. He was right.

"Where are we going?" I asked again.
"Somewhere safe. But first we need to get to the airport" he said and drove out of the trees, driving over the phone crushing it. Then going on the road behind the grope rather than the road we came from.

When we got to the airport, he parked the jeep and we walked in. He stopped looking around for a few seconds. I was about to ask him if something was wrong when he took my hand and walked up to a security guard who was standing near a door labelled private.

"Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to go to the lines. If you need help with something, so to the desk there" the guard said. Sèan let go of my hand and reached into his pocket.
"I think not, we need to get throu8gh there" he said, gesturing to the door.
He handed him a piece of paper, the man looked at it, then to us.
"Right this way sir" he said, stepping out of the way and opening the door for us.
"Thank you Jimbo" Sèan said chipper as always. We went through to a private section, there was only one desk with three girls.

The guard came in as well and handed the paper to one of the girls. He told her something softly and she looked at us.
"Right this way" she said and smiled. Walking, leading us to where the plane were.
