As their vehicle drew closer and closer towards the city, Marcellus listened quietly. He started to frown as a certain thought bubbled up to the surface. It had been on his mind at the start of their journey, but he'd managed to forget it until now. Or maybe the bumpy ride between then and now had knocked it out. He decided to speak, raising his voice a little to counter the roar of the truck's engine.
"Hey, have we been cleared to enter the city?"

He was sure that Columbia would want to know if a heavily armed group was entering one of their cities, regardless of how small the group was. Considering the recent calamity that had struck this particular city, they would probably be more on edge. He was sure that Rhodes Island had informed them, but given the previous state of their communications with the branch office, he couldn't say for sure.
