Zac shrugged a little, still bopping along to the music as he drove along the highway. "Not sure, maybe a day or two?" He answered Rowan's question, though slightly unsure. "Enough to get a good amount of stuff done I hope. I'm hoping to catch a gig while we're there. I went on Facebook earlier and there's a pretty good one on tomorrow night." 

After a while, his phone rings, and he picks it up rather quickly, holding it to his ear with his shoulder. "Hey Leo. Yeah, I have a friend with an apartment in Manhattan who is out of town for the weekend and he said we can use his place. I'll get Rowan to text you the address." After he hung up, he handed the phone over to Rowan. "The address is the latest note in there. But please, for your own sake, don't go through reading any others." He warned with an uneasy snicker.

As they continued to drive, something caught Zac's eye. Someone on the side of the road. A hitchhiker. At first, he didn't give it much thought, but as they got closer, he saw it was a girl who looked about their age. And she looked rather desperate too, flagging them down rather enthusiastically. Normally, Zac wasn't the kind of guy to pick up ransoms off the side of the street, but this trip was about trying new things. Taking risks. So that's what he did. "I'm gonna pick her up... Though Claire, she's getting in with you, so, uh... Watch our stuff and maybe keep something you could use as a weapon next to you..." He warned the other two, as he pulled over to the side of the road, next to the girl. "Hey, uh, need a ride?"
