Jane opened the trunk of the car with a proud smile.
"Oh no, no no no no no ...", Christi replied almost immediately, her face becoming white.
"What's your excuse?", Marcia asked, one eyebrow raised in a questioning look.
The trunk was filled with several types of weapons, from the good old handgun to a tarnished sword. There was even a crossbow, its arrows mixed up with the other items.
"I've found them in some of the storage units I've bought over the years. It didn't feel right to release the guns in the wild, and I've always wanted to learn how to swing a sword and use a crossbow, so I've kept them", Jane explained with a shrug, like having a trunk full of weapons was a common occurence. "I thought it could come in handy if we really are going monster hunting ..."
Marcia closed the lid of the trunk with a shake of the head. "They will only be useful if we know how to use them ... I've learned how to fire a gun, but that's pretty much it. It's gonna take time ... In the meanwhile, that puts the question back on the table : we need a HQ."
"I might have a solution", Christi said, still eyeing the trunk with wariness. "At least for now. My parents have a fishing cabin in the mountains, and they agreed to lend it to me for the moment."
Marcia nodded. "That's a good idea. It might even be isolated enough for us to practice a bit outside."
"Awesome!", Jane commented, excitation painted all over her face. From the three of them, she was the most excited about that "destiny" they had gained for themselves. She was also the one less aware of the dangers of said destiny.
"There aren't a lot of campers over there, but we'll still have to be careful. It's not deserted either", Christi warned them. We should try to restrict all borderline activities as much as possible."
She didn't even talk about outright illegal things they could be undertaking. She still hoped they wouldn't go that far, even if she was less and less confident about it. She was still thinking about walking away and leaving them at their crazy projects. She wasn't fit to operate outside of the frame she was used to, and that frame was firmly within the law.
"We'll manage", Marcia said, still practical and business-like. "Jane, you're gonna have to drive yur little arsenal over there, and we'll stock it for now. I'll teach you both how to use the guns, and we'll see about the rest later."
The other two nodded, noone questioning the natural lead of Marcia. She was the one with the most approching experience, after all. Christi gave them both the location of the cabin, even if she was pretty sure they would need her help to find it anyway, and the three of them went their own way, back to whatever normal life they were living. They would see each other at the cabin at the weekend, and figure out there what to do next.
