Conclusion
Lacey and Koln get back into the truck. Lacey starts the truck and you take off down the mountain to the valley below. It is a great relief to not be flying down the road at top speed anymore while being pursued by crazy gun wielding vampires.
While driving Lacey says "The damage to my truck is nothing compared to the damage to my heart."
You drive on for what seems like a long time. You get to the town of Frisco which is near a huge lake in the heart of the Rockies and Lacey takes the exit. At the beginning there is civilization but soon you find yourselves on dirt roads going who knows where. You're on some road called Mosquito Pass and Lacey stops the truck in front of some abandoned looking gas station/car garage. In total the drive took about 2 and a half hours getting you there just in the nick of time! It's 4:30am by the time you get there and the sky is taking on a faint purple glow warning that sunrise is less than an hour away.
Lacey leads you both inside some kind of office building off to the side of the gas station. The only reassuring thing about the place is that there is a single light on inside that building, at least signifying that the place is not entirely abandoned. Aside from that through, the building is incredibly run down and the gas station doesn't look like it sees much use if it functions at all. The inside of the office is not too inviting either, molding ceiling tiles and pieces of the carpet missing to reveal concrete underneath are just a few of the commodities here. An old man sits behind a reception desk dressed in a security uniform. He sits with his legs up on the desk watching a small TV.
Without even looking up he says "No way any normal person would walk in here at this hour. You lost?" to which Lacey responds "Not all who wander are lost. You know why I'm here." The man looks up and gives Lacey an odd look. He looks over at Clover and Koln as well. "Not exactly what I was expecting, I take it your here to see the boss." He gets up and walks over to a door behind the desk unlocking it and grumbling to himself "Thought there was only going to be one....now three...*grumble*" He motions for you all to follow him and when you do you find yourselves walking down a flight of stairs and into a well lit tunnel. You stop at a room built into the tunnel itself and inside you find a rather ugly Nosferatu, his face twisted and malformed, his eyes small and beady. His only introduction to the group as a whole is "You sure cut it close getting here. I was about to close up shop so to speak." The rest of the conversation is between him and Lacey, they seem familiar with each other and when questioned about the presence of Clover and Koln Lacey explains to him that they have been sent on official business by Prince Edward along with her. He seems to accept the story and takes you all deeper into the tunnels where there lie a series of rooms. It's almost like a hotel built into an abandoned mine shaft, the tunnels look like they stretch on for miles. Inside the rooms are some basic beds and furniture, enough to spend a night or two if you don't care about being stuffed in a small room underground with a single light source and no windows.
Lacey says to the Nosferatu, "My truck has seen better days, is there a doctor in the house?" The Nosferatu nods and says "Yes, I suppose we can have Larry take a look at it for you during the day. It'll cost you though. Just because I'm rooming you here for free doesn't mean I have to fix your truck too! And don't try to sweet talk that horny old man into doing you any favors!" He sneers and excuses himself closing the door behind him.
Lacey turns to the group inside the small room and says "Well, we made it! Despite all the nasty obstacles. One more stop and then we reach my favorite city, Las Vegas! Of course, I've never actually been there in body but I'm sure my spirit has been there, or at least part of it has. But now we must rest and there is an important question we must answer. There is only one large bed and three of us, four if you count the rat and ten if you count Koln. So the question we must ask is, who wants to make a Clover sandwich!?"
OOC: Did Ruby have a bag or anything with her that she left behind in the truck?
