“After almost exactly three hours, we rolled into a small hole of a town that had one traffic light and a resturant simply marked DINER. There hadn't been any traffic on the road for over an hour, though, which was really the most important thing. We hadn't been followed.

“I have it on good authority there's going to be a new 'gate' opening up soon over on the south side of the wall."

Sonya nodded.
"And not to tell who they were?"
Sonya nodded again.
