</div></div><br/><span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'">Luca hadn't been behind the wheel of a vehicle for quite some time, but in a way it was refreshing. Everything came back to him instantly as he drove down the street and headed out of the city. The drive itself was without incident, something that Luca enjoyed. It was calmer too. Hitching a ride with strangers -though normally never went bad- did tend to leave Luca rather tense. At the moment, with some of the hunter's association not on good terms with them; having the ride was an even bigger plus. <br/>
<br/>
It meant avoiding the hunters entirely. Right now, Luca was all for that. As he drove, he listened to Seth and Aries converse with one another, occasionally answering them as they asked questions or just talking in general about all kinds of things. Luca kept an eye on the gas gauge as they cruised down the empty highway that went to the next city. He estimated that they would have plenty to get where they were going. On the return, though, they would likely have to stop. <br/>
<br/>
Several hours later, the road started to deteriorate. Out this far, the older cities were not as maintained as the new ones. But, fewer travelers also meant that keeping a good looking road wasn't the first priority. Luca slowed the vehicle to avoid the worst of the potholes and jarring motions of broken tarmac. He reached up and adjusted the rearview mirror too, angling it down so that the sinking orange rays of sunlight weren't blinding him. With night approaching, Luca felt the familiar anxiety pulling at his chest. <br/>
<br/>
The old city ahead of them had very little light and likely even less people. As they passed the worn sign welcoming them, he pulled off to the side of the road. Putting the vehicle in park, he let it idle as he eyed the city buildings they were about to enter into. "It's been a long time since I've been here. There's got to be answers here though. There has to be." He took a deep breath as he looked into the mirror and watched the sun fully sink below the horizon. His heart clenched as darkness fell. Gripping the steering wheel tightly, he looked out into the headlights of the vehicle. <br/>
<br/>
"We'll drive and see if we can find a place. If not, we'll stay in the car. Sound good?" Luca asked and waited for everyone's answer before he put the car in drive.</span>
