Clive pulled up outside Xavier's house, noting with relief that there still seemed to be people there. He vaguely recognized the kid standing near the truck, at least. As he climbed out of the car, he waved. "Hey! Aren't you the guy from the last time we were all here?"
Emil looked to Xavier to decide where he should go. He felt comfortable with Chris, and fairly comfortable with Clive, so he didn't mind either way. "I'll go wherever there's room for me."
Xavier chuckled, and climbed into the front passenger seat of Clive's car. "A wise idea, I suppose. I'll show you where to go -- Chris, just follow us."
Gil settled more comfortably in the back as Clive started the car and accelerated away from the house. He leaned his head on Kayla's shoulder and watched the road speed by. Trying hard to contain his excitement, he said, "We're really going! How cool is that?"

He smiled to Emil as he got in. "Here we go..."
