“Are you sure you don’t want to come with us, Mel?” Vic glanced at his wife. It would be comforting to have her there.
“I’m overseeing our other two guests.” Mel didn’t take her eyes off the trees, just enjoying the scenery. She did not get out of the lab as often as she would like to.
Vic drove on further into the woods, passing by several occupied camp sites and tables full of people enjoying a day in the forest. Vic finally found what he was looking for, a barricade noting this section of the park was closed for repairs. He moved the signs, had Mel drive through, then replaced them. A few more minutes down a narrow road, they pulled to a stop at a history marker.
The repairs appeared to have been completed, judging by how immaculate the site grounds were. There was freshly upturned dirt around two concrete slabs that appeared to have been recently poured, dried, then had new picnic tables set on them. Vic took a moment to send his location to the ‘office’, along with a request to not have the barricade removed until he gave the word. This would be a good place to return to.
“We’re here.” Vic unclipped his seat belt. “Let’s hope they’re watching or we’re going to have a long wait.” He opened the door, but Chill was out of the car before he got a foot onto the ground.

Oh boy! Time for the cloak and dagger fun!
