"Sound convincing enough," Phoenix shrugged.

Ebony picked up the phone and dialed her mother's number. After a few rings, she heard the other end being picked up.
"Hello?"
"Mom, it's me Ebony," said the younger Viper, "I just want to tell you that Nix and I have just been called into jury duty and we have to leave immediately. Can you watch the twins for me, please?"
"Sure thing, Hon," Melody answered, "You two girls be careful now, you hear?"
"We will, Mom," assured Ebony, "Remember, Nix and I got each other's backs. We'll look out for each other. Don't worry. Tell the twins that I love them. We'll be back soon."
"Have a safe trip," said Melody and then there was the dial tone.
Ebony turned to Phoenix, "It's a done deal. Let's gather up the map and whatever else we need and get going."

"Great," Phoenix said. "Were probably going to need some currents maps as well."

"I have one," Ebony opened up her side compartments and rummaged around inside, finally pulling out the current Arizona-New Mexico map that she had picked up recently, "It was a good thing that Slate and I had to go down to Mexico with Zed's crew a month ago. But, I think that wherever the old map leads us, we should pick up some state maps from Visitors' Centers as well."

"Thats a good idea," Phoenix said. "Pick them up as we go. Where did the Semi said they came from."

"White Lake, Colorado," said Ebony, "I think we're going to have to follow the Arizona-New Mexico border up until we get to Colorado. That's where the Four Corners are. We can pick up a Colorado map at the Visitor Center there. I've got enough gas in my tank to last me that long. How about we get going?"

Phoenix nodded as she shifted into gear. "Alright, I'm ready as I'll ever be."

"Okay, but I'm the only one of the two of us that is still street-legal so you're going to have to stay close to me," said Ebony as she packed the road maps, as well as the treasure map and goblet, into her side compartments, turned and drove out of the office and out onto Main Street, heading east on Route 66.

Phoenix stayed close to Ebony as they drove along. "Wonder what we'll run into first," she said. "You know we always do."

"Given our record of mischief, pretty soon, I'd bet," replied Ebony, "Just hope that doesn't turn into being chased by cops. I've had enough of that."

"Yeah hate cops," Phoenix said. "I could see the headlines, 'Cup Racer busted on Highway,' they'd love that." She laughed.

"Not to mention what the street-racing world would think if they hear that the Black Viper returns by being caught by the cops," added Ebony, "That would really ruin my reputation and give me nothing but grief, as well as my family's."

"Yeah that would be a hoot," Phoenix said.

"Best to stay away from the Interstate for now to prevent that from happening," said Ebony, "The trip might take longer, but at least we'll mostly be out of danger for the most part."

"I don't mind," Phoenix said. "Was that Semi taking the trailers back to?"
