It was at the crack of dawn that Sunny finally reached the abandoned church. The city was still enveloped in deep darkness, though, due to the heavy storm clouds obscuring the sky. The torrential rain continued to pour down. The flooding in various parts of the city was only growing worse — the roads were a mess, and the silence of the dying night was kept at bay by the blaring of the car horns.
Looking at the countless PTVs stuck in the slowly rising water, Sunny could not help but expect them to start blowing up in a devastating chain reaction.
However, none of them did. Despite the strange nature of their engines and fuel, the ancient vehicles were not at all as prone to exploding as he had expected.
Parking his newly acquired PTV in front of the church, Sunny climbed out and walked in. Effie arrived first, it seemed — both of them had long escaped the surveillance team sent to spy on them, but Sunny ran a few errands before returning to their temporary lair.
