“DO YOU THINK IT WOULD be safe for us to the fly the plane again? Given the fact that the aliens have to stay away from Logan?” Garrett said.

“I think at this point, nothing we do is going to be safe,” Hank said. “But Garrett might be right. If we travel on foot or by the roads, we are like sitting ducks. If we risk taking the plane, we will be traveling for a shorter amount of time.”

“Would we have enough fuel to make it to DC,” Logan said.

“No, we would have to go find some before we took off,” Hank said.

“We also have to make sure the aliens have left the racetrack before we go back to the plane,” Garrett said.

“What if we take the plane to the nearest small airport and then refuel there?” Logan said.

“That’s a better plan than finding fuel on foot,” Hank said. “Alright follow me.”

Off in the distance they could see the Rocky Mountains. Hank led them up a hill in that direction.

“Hank, I’m not here to hike,” Garrett said after it appeared that they would be climbing in elevation for a while longer.

“Just keep your mouth shut, and let that brain of yours do a little thinking,” Hank said.

“Woah calm down hoss,” Garrett said. This was the first time he had seen Hank get a bit angry.

They walked in silence for a minute or so before Hank stopped and turned around so he could see the town. Garrett realized how dumb he had sounded earlier; Hank wasn’t taking them on a hike, he was getting to high enough ground so that they had a view of the racetrack and would be able to tell from afar if the aliens were still there.

“Well, it looks like we’re gonna have to get that fuel on foot after all,” Logan said, after they all could clearly see that the alien craft was still parked in the middle of the racetrack.

“I don’t see any of the aliens, but if their craft is still here, they must be close by. And judging by how much distance they can cover with one step, I don’t want to take any risks trying to fetch the plane right now,” Hank said.

“If only we knew more about these things, maybe we could somehow disable their craft,” Logan said.

“You might be onto something Logan, keep thinking of ways that we can do that. It sure would be nice, if when we got the plane airborne again, we could disable the craft so that they couldn’t follow us,” Hank said.

“We should keep walking to higher ground, to see if we can spot an airport or somewhere that would have jet fuel,” Garrett said.

“I thought you didn’t wanna hike Garrett?” Hank said with a bit of sarcasm.

They hiked a few hundreds yards more before stopping to examine their surroundings.

“You guys see anything that resembles an airport?” Logan said.

“Negative,” Hank said.

The general consensus was that there were no airports close by because from where they were standing, they had a panoramic view a few miles in each direction.
