Sage bent down to read the white, printed words on the sign but it had a thick layer of dirt on it. Reaching out, she rubbed away the dirt as quietly as she could but some of the grains of dirt scraped against the metal sign. Tensing, she paused her rubbing to listen and for a moment, she thought she heard the sound of bone cracking but it couldve been anything. Shrugging, she continued on until she could just make out the word.<span style="font-style: italic">Park Oak</span><br/><br/>A relieved sigh left her as she realized they were closer than she had originally thought. There should be an exit from the city that would lead them into a few miles of country land. A blue house would be on top of a hill halfway through, that would be their next safe house, and a factory not too much farther along. After the factory they should have a good several miles to the coast city. Opening her eyes as she remembered everything clear enough, she stood and looked behind her for Jackson, but he wasnt there.<br/><br/>Tensing, Sage quickly made her way back the way she had come. Only for Jackson to come barreling into her a moment later. Landing with a hard thud and the sound of bone snapping, she coughed a few times and groaned softly. "You have got to stop running into me this way.." she groaned quietly. Picking her head up off the cement, she looked up at Jackson and a small blush worked its way onto her cheeks as she realized just how close he was to her. Quickly pushing those thoughts out of her mind, she took in the look of nervousness in his eyes. "What did you do this time?" she asked quickly but quietly.
