With the team more or less decided on, there wasn't much else to do other than leave. A couple more Rainlords ended up joining from House Sebolt--as well with Matteo Delaguna, as always. Hector had been about to ask where that guy was when he suddenly appeared, clad all in black and ready to go.

They ascended the Entry Tower together and headed over to the halfway-constructed garage. When finished, it would be similar in size to the underground bunker that Hector and Colt had used when on the run from the law. This one connected to the Entry Tower just below the top level and already had enough space in it for a dozen or so large vehicles.

At the moment, there were only a few here, but the team didn't need more than one. They all piled into a black SUV, save Roman and Dimas. Matteo go behind the wheel, started the engine, and drove it up the ramp and out onto the freshly-paved surface.

Matteo just headed toward the gate, apparently thinking that they would be driving the whole way there.

Dimas Sebolt, however, had other plans.

The vehicle lifted off the ground, ignoring gravity and flying over to Dimas and Roman, who were already headed north.

Hector had the front passenger seat, and Matteo just gave him a flat look along with a few dull blinks. Then he turned the engine off again and sighed before leaning back in his seat.

Hector hadn't quite expected Dimas to just take the initiative like this, either, but it did seem pretty convenient. And from what Hector understood, after what had happened to his last two airplanes, Roman hadn't been eager to get his hands on a third one just yet, even as a rental.

It wasn't the most comfortable flight, of course. The car wasn't exactly aerodynamic, and it definitely wasn't pressurized properly; but that didn't bother the group of undead servants and incorporeal reapers very much.
