Sam and Stevie's captors ended up driving them quite a long distance from their camp, along roads Sam had never traveled before. They started out on mountainous backroads for hours, all the while their captors told them nothing about what was happening. Several times they stopped in out of the way places as if they were hiding. Several of the guards, as well as the woman leading them, made frantic-sounding phone calls just far enough away that they could not hear them clearly. Nevertheless, each time, they continued on as if nothing had went wrong. After a few hours on the interstate, they headed back onto the smaller roads and into the mountains. 

By this point, Sam had not the slightest idea where they were, only that it took quite a long time for them to get there, even without considering the stops. In fact, it was already dark by the time they arrived at their destination. It looked as if they were heading down an abandoned dirt road in the middle of the forest until they reached a robust looking gate in a tall, electrified fence, complete with barbed wire on the top. There were armed guards on the inside, but even so, the driver in front had to verify them with what looked like a thumbprint scanner before the gates would open and allow them inside. They drove inside, at which point the road became far more even and well-maintained. It was dark, but with their night vision, Sam and Stevie could see well. From what Sam could see as they drove past, the compound, as the woman had described it, looked more like a mountain village built on the edge of a lake. All of the buildings looked like modern-style log cabins, and from what Sam could see, there were at least one or two dozen of them.. No one was outside as they passed by, though it was rather late. Eventually, they stopped by one of the cabins, then the woman leading the group came to the back of the van along with two armed guards and opened it up.

"Come, follow me and I will take you to the place you will be staying for the foreseeable future. Since you have showed no signs of turning, I will have you unbound as well." She ordered.
