The last eighty miles had gone better than the first five in the RV. The farther they had gotten away from the city, the fewer cars they had encountered on the road. It was somewhere around ninety miles from Lexington to where Jake remembered the University of Cincinnati to be. Their current stretch of road was very familiar. Before his parents died they used to take him and his brother Colt on this trip a couple times a month. Sometimes to visit family, sometimes to catch a Cincinnati Reds baseball game, or once in a while to go to the theme park. Either way, no map was needed. He had been to football games at the university on several occasions as well.

As they closed in on Cincinnati the traffic in the road began to swell. But it wasn’t impassable. That was fortunate, because Jake was growing more worried by the minute that they would get there and find the professor and the helicopter had already gone. It was going on one o’clock in the morning, but he felt like he had been up for days. A lot of life had been lived in the last twelve hours. Enough to prematurely age a man. His eyes had gotten heavy several times, but he and Tyler had been able to catch up, so that was good, and it kept him alert. His friend really had changed a lot since Jake went away.

They talked about the past few years and what each other had been through. Jake shared several stories where he and his men had gotten themselves into some tough situations and found a way out of them. In an effort to ease some worry, Jake promised Tyler that they would make it through this in much the same way. Somehow. Tyler explained to Jake how he was able to make a good living playing video games online. Which quite honestly blew Jake’s mind. And that wasn’t easy to do on a day filled with inhumans chasing after you for your blood. Apparently people all around the world would tune in to watch Tyler play a game. Tyler said it was more about his personality and commentary that kept the large audience engaged. Jake, of course, joked that that was impossible. Tyler finished the story by explaining that he even had endorsement contracts. A gamer, with endorsements. Companies were actually paying him to drink their drinks and wear their clothing while he played games. It was unreal he could make a living that way. Every teenager’s dream come true. It made Jake feel even more disconnected from society. Of course, none of that mattered now.

All the things that people put thousands of hours into in their lives over the span of decades, like family and career, all of a sudden meant nothing. Unless of course they were someone like Jake, who had put thousands of hours into learning how to outthink and outmaneuver the enemy. In the blink of an eye, those skills were more in demand than ever.
