Oh, you beautiful creature! It seems there may be more to you than aliens and stuff! And may I also say you just managed not to trick me. I almost went to the county administrative center where the clerk’s office is! After some of the past debacles, you’re not going to get me that easily…

Sure, I had only gotten a couple hours of sleep, but with the opportunity I had lucked into, I had to take full advantage of it. Besides, I’ll sleep when I’m dead! Or when I get to my hotel for the night, whichever would come first (spoiler: it would be the hotel). Either way, I would continue on a highway through mountains until I made it to…
