THE MISSION

I watch Derick as he goes through all the writing on the piece of paper again. He then directs his focus on Brent.

"You must not let her out of your sight. It is not safe for her there." Derick tells Brent.

Brent nods as Derick and then turns his gaze on Jake. Jake looks worried but he is still looking at Derick.

"Can we send a team?" Jake asks Derick.

"It will not work. These towns are small and very far apart. The community is close knit and they will all recognize one new face and see it as a threat. It is best if they show up as a couple and then leave as a couple." Derick looks back to Brent.

"From what I can gather from the notes, the townsfolk do not know the importance of the piece. They have not come across a portal yet. The piece is in possession of the Sheriff of the town."
