Early morning everyone went to the beach to begin. Lachlan will be in charge of flying them to Adelaide, Simon is also coming with him for protection and possibly transportation. A few will be with Georgia, they'll only go to get a better signal, so they can advise the others in any unforeseen incidents.
Summoning their beasts the girls hopped on and waved goodbye to everyone, the girls were going to ride the Griffin, it was the easiest to ride on. Lachlan hopped onto Calamity while Simon hopped onto Storm. Looking back they both raised their arms and waved goodbye.
Lachlan had a slightly difficult time leaving in the morning, Sarah was stuck to him like glue and didn't want him to leave her. Fortunately, he managed to convince her to let go and play with all her friends.
They then shot off into the air, slightly slower as not all the girls had the strength to handle the maximum speed, Lachlan didn't want anyone to fall off because of his own careless mistake. It was smooth sailing from there, flying across the land at a decent pace. It'll only take 3 – 4 hours, the girls would use this time to enjoy the sights and formulate their own plans.
During the flight the girls were looking at a map of Adelaide, choosing which spots they should go to, to get the best amount of information they needed a place that was bustling with people, but not military.
Although pubs would be great since the drunken slobs would say anything on their minds, those drunken slobs could also just as easily turn into a violent drunk. Cafés would be alright since it was secluded from the military people could talk freely, granted not loudly just in case. As for parks, if they chose the right place they might be able to get a few parents either hiding their children's features or a few mother's speaking aloud about their child to another.
They decided they would first start with a café then a park, the pub would be their last resort since they didn't want to get attacked. Especially by a drunk that would have no control over their actions.
Lachlan, on the other hand, was enjoying a conversation with his tamed beasts. Talking about the future and the past, even though they don't have any memories of the world before the evolution they've heard quite a bit about it from everyone else rambling about how good it was.
As for the future talk, Lachlan couldn't help but admire the amount of ambition all of his beasts had, although it might be something that's just instinct. They all had the desire to become the strongest beasts, Aaron was already in the lead with his big head start.
Once they finally reached their destination they slowly descended down. They chose to land on the road going from Birdwood to Adelaide, that way it'll be more believable. Lachlan and Simon looked around for any movement, noticing nothing they landed on the ground and the girls hopped off. After dropping them off Lachlan and Simon flew off, not far but far enough to not cause any issues.
The girls began their walk to Adelaide, it was a simple walk, nothing happened along the way. Although when they walked through the death zone they felt as though they were getting stared at, similar to the gaze of a stalker, something that sent a quick shiver down their spines.
At the gate to enter Adelaide they were inspected, the military made sure no beast is able to make it through, especially intelligent ones. They checked their identities, background and everything and found nothing wrong.
The girls began their walk to the first chosen destination, a café along the main street. It was an extremely popular café, one that gets a lot of customers.
After walking for a long time they finally reached it, the café was called Caffe Branch, it was one of the few places that weren't heavily affected by the evolution. The outside was rather simple, black wooden pillars and a brick wall, with a few tables outside.
Walking in, they immediately noticed the rather friendly and warm environment. The interior was redwood and black concrete that had writing in white chalk. They walked past that to get to the cashier, behind him was a large menu written in chalk.
Tamika ordered a large hot chocolate, Dakota got a Mocha and Maddie bought herself a small white. They also all got toasties, ham and cheese. They hadn't eaten breakfast yet.
After getting their drinks and breakfast they sat by the entrance of the place, where people constantly walk by or walk in. They heard a lot of information, most of which was completely useless to them.
They sat there for 2 hours and all they heard was information about people's lives before the evolution. They were bragging about how good their life was until it happened. Some people talked about their family or lovers being in the military.
In present times that was an amazing thing, as everyone would feel the need to be grateful to those soldiers. Of course, just like before the evolution, there will always be snakes that just seek the attention gained from it.
The girls had already finished everything a while ago, they just wanted to be certain they wouldn't miss anything. Now they were off to their next destination, a park. Along the way, they heard the same bits of information it was starting to annoy them. Do people have nothing better to talk about?
But they did find something useful. Along the way to the park they saw posters stuck on glass windows, the poster was on the inside of the building obviously. It was their main group's faces, faces of everyone pinned up. There was a picture of Lachlan, Chloe, Simon, Joe, Zoe, and Georgia all hung up with a warning sign.
The warning sign said that they are traitors of humanity and that everyone should report them the moment they notice them. It was obviously spread around by the Land Guardians. Tamika took out her phone and got a photo of it, she sent it to everyone.
Lachlan didn't have a phone, but Simon showed him the picture, he wasn't all that surprised. But what did leave him surprised was the small description underneath, there was only a description for him and it was, 'Extremely aggressive and strong' Although short Lachlan quite liked how they described him.
After walking for a few minutes they made it to the park, Hindmarsh Square/Mukata. It could barely be considered a park, but at least there were benches around the sit on. They would hopefully be able to hear people talking as they walk past, maybe even see something unusual in strollers.
The girls chose a bench and went over, sat down and began talking to themselves. Just about everything, what they should do when they get back. A new fact they learnt during that talk was that Tamika knew how the sow and was quite good as well. She apparently made all of Georgia's clothes when she was younger.
After waiting here for a bit they finally heard a bit of information that slipped out of someone's mouth. That person had long black hair, brown eyes and rather pale skin, she was roughly 5'5 and wore warm clothes that layered over her.
She said angrily to a friend walking next to her, "My sister in law's child is apparently one of those freaks, she should just get rid of it already."
Tamika was the first to react, "What did you just say?" She stood up and blocked their way when she asked the question. Dakota and Maddie followed and cut off their path of retreat.
"What, are you going to tell authorities that my sister is protecting a freak?" She said in an almost sarcastic voice, she wasn't afraid at all, it almost seemed as though she wanted them to do it.
"Then do it, she lives 61 Young St, Parkside suburb, it's south of here," The girl was definitely provoking them to do it, that much was obvious.
The girls got the information and let them through before walking towards the destination. Although they weren't completely sure, it seems that girl they were just talking to wanted them to call the authorities on her sister in law.
It either meant she was afraid to do it herself, as that would mean talking about her nephew or niece. The other was that she didn't want the blame to fall on herself, if she provoked someone else to do it then they would get all the hate.
It was a smart plan, unfortunately for her, they weren't going to call the authorities, but instead get the sister in law on their side.
Tamika picked up the phone and message Simon about what they found, he was ecstatic that they actually managed to get something. Simon then told Lachlan, Lachlan then decided it would be best to move closer to that area. They would still be outside the gate, but those few kilometres they would have travelled to get to them are no more.
Simon texted the girls their new location in advance. Although they were still fairly far from the city, they were much closer to the house the girls were going to. They just needed to go in a straight line and they should reach them quickly.
