Jennifer giggled at Max as they drove, He was giving imitations of the various people at the compound. He kept up a patter of comments.<br/><br/>The trip was rather uneventful. The group stopped at a roadside vegetable stand and purchased some apples. They even stopped a couple of times to walk on the beach. The ocean was becoming a little greyer ever stop north as they went. Lighthouses punctuated the highway as the shorelines became rockier. Finally, when they had reached Florence, Oregon, Max spoke up.<br/><br/>"You guys have brought us a long way and at great risk to yourselves. We aren't too far from Seattle. Probably one more day's drive would put us there. I suggest you allow Jennifer and I to take a bus from here. If someone is following or has a description of your Jeep, it will put you in some danger but it might also create a diversion for Jennifer."<br/><br/>Jennifer opened her mouth to protest but Aiden was nodding in approval. She pressed a cellphone into Jenn's hand and told her that her own personal number was programmed in it. She and Gauis would stay in Oregon and for them to call her when they were settled in Seattle. Jennifer couldn't bellieve how much Aiden had done for them, for her and she almost cried.<br/><br/>Max punched her llightly in the shoulder,<br/>"Come on, Bro. Put up your hoodie and lets catch a bus for Seattle."<br/><br/>Jennifer looked at him in shock but did as he suggested. They said their goodbyes, accepted some cash from Gauis and headed into the bus station.
