Now that the convoy was being rerouted to Gladstone Bridge, Vert felt a little suspicious.

''Something's not right. Since we're taking a different route entirely, I bet that we're heading into some sort of ambush. In fact, maybe it's part of the Crimson Devil's plan: divert us into a trap. I hope that the bridge doesn't blow up in front of us, let alone become unusable as well. The worst case scenario will be when we're sitting ducks.''

Of course, he realized that virtually everyone was in the same truck together, instead of sitting in some of the separate trucks. There was a tradeoff for this decision: there was a greater chance of taking down the Crimson Devil, but that was assuming their foe targeted their truck. They had lost the chance of protecting the other trucks, since their seating plan were focused on one vehicle alone.

He decided to focus on something else entirely, lest it gave him a panic. Concentration, he argued, was key to a decisive victory over the Crimson Devil. He instead turned to the other members of the group currently in the truck.

Tana was cheerily minding her own business atop Lady Lavender's lap, while Vale put the book away and inspected the cargo instead. Marie was busy chatting it up about what their game plan was and how important it was to enforce justice.

Truth be told, the girl did have something in common; that they both shared the ideals of enforcing order and catching criminals for justice. But the difference was that they didn't have a game plan other than staying the course and that Marie was going to have problems with her pacifistic outlook.

''You should really save yourself some of the heartbreak, Marie and be prepared to kill. Nothing good ever came from the hands of these criminal scum.''

Suddenly, something caught his eye. As the lid of the genuine cargo was opened, fingers portruded from the crate.

"What the fuck-!?" Shit, was it the Crimson Devil?

He instinctively reached for his pistol Order and steadied his aim.

"Do not move a muscle, or I swear, I will shoot- oh. It's just you, Earl Grey."

He was relieved as he verified the identity of the intruder, though it was jarring to see bits of flesh and bone form together in midair.

''So that's her Semblance. Good to know. For a moment, I thought it was him trying a new way to get in the truck. ''

Now that Earl Grey was in their presence, she opened up the possibility of asking her questions.

Well, now that it's too late to ask about the plan, maybe I can ask about our little unusual little friend.

"So, Earl Grey, it looks like you're coming with us. I want to know a few things. First off, why sign up for this mission? And what exactly are the drawbacks of that ... Semblance, over there, in case we get into combat?" --- Music:
