Chapter Five

"Hey Lara, do you have gum somewhere?" asked Rikku, as she scrabbled in various complicated compartments.

"Yeah in the S.C" Lara replied. Rikku looked thoroughly befuddled as Yuna pushed a button under her seat and yet another compartment appeared in front of her.

"S.C?" remarked Rikku. Paine, who had snagged the passenger seat, turned around and looked incredulously at Rikku.

"It means secluded compartment, smart alec," she said turning around and facing the windshield.

"Lara what are we going to do now? I mean we haven't got one shred of evidence at the moment." Paine continued.

"Well, first we find a place to bunk and then we brainstorm. And I need to get a meal now or I'm going to drop."

Yuna quickly offered to drive, but it seemed there was no need after Paine spotted a motel.

"Hey guys!" she yelled, "I think we've found our stop!" The party looked hesitantly at the sign pegged up, NO RETURN, it stated.
