>>5359533The journey is a little longer with you tagging along, but you reach Little Pike in due time, the city itself situated on a lake. Little Pike had been one of the towns that had been right on the very edge of the particle accelerator's blast radius. To you, it looks like the sort of small town where everyone knows each other's names and faces-- the kind of place where nothing seems to happen.
For such a quaint, happy-looking town, you'd be surprised if there were even one mutant hiding among its denizens, and it's enough that you feel completely out-of-place, you and Bernard sticking out like sore thumbs around the otherwise-vacant roads.
The two of you keep to the safety of the treelines and bus-stops just for that very reason, as you'd rather not incite mass-panic on the off-chance that someone manages to spot you. A small blessing of Little Pike being such a small town is that the two of you come across Bard's Way with little trouble.
Bard's Way, especially, is the epitome of an idyllic, suburban neighborhood, white picket fences lining every house within your vicinity, and the house that Boleski directed you to looks no different than the others.
There's no lights on either, so you find yourself wondering if you're even at the right place, Bernard looking to you and back to the door of the house in question as he seems to have the same doubts as you.
Boleski, however, doesn't seem like the kind of person to make those kinds of mistakes.
