there were specific details, specific timings, and specific orders to follow. the planning, premeditation and the preparations were all in alignment with the stars. the confined small space, for which they sat, and behind the wheel for which she overlooked felt like a tiny calm before the storm. the silent stirrings within remained hidden as she wanted to save her energy for the fight to come. she stuck to the path––the off-road path, edging just a block away from the dock as slow tires and low headlights crept up on their destination. with a bit of caffeine fueling her adrenaline, she watched the boat in the far distance. and while she hadn't any real knowledge on how fast a boat could travel, it seemed as if they were good on time.
