"Should we take a break for now? The engine's too hot," Kisha suggested, slowing the armored car and pulling it to the side of the road.
Duke nodded, adjusting himself in his seat as he took out the map once more. Handing it to Kisha, he glanced out the window.
The road was shrouded in darkness, the faint glow from the reddish moon offering barely enough light to make out the path ahead.
Kisha took the map from Duke, and they switched on the small overhead light. Together, they began tracing the map, trying to get their bearings. "I think we're here," Kisha said, pointing to a spot on the map.
Duke raised an eyebrow, his tone more curious than skeptical. "Can you tell for sure?" His question was understandable—out here, in the eerie darkness, the road ahead was completely invisible, and everything around them seemed to blend into the night.
It was nearly impossible to make out any landmarks.
