>The rest of the trip was quiet, with the only sounds coming from the van's radio and the road.
>When they arrived, Nick asked Finnick if he wanted to join them.
>Finnick shook his head and said, "Nah, she's got a weird thing for me. The last time I went in there, I didn't stumble back out for a week."
>Nick hopped out of the van, and began walking up the crumbling concrete path, with Judy following close behind.
>She looked ahead at the hillside, which had a concrete wall jutting out of it, and a metal door at its center. "Your friend lives in an old military bunker?"
>Without looking back at her, Nick said replied quietly "Yeah, and she's a little paranoid, so be cool; you don't want to set her off, for both our sakes."
>The pair walked up the flight of rusty metal steps that led to the unmarked steel door, and stopped, with the fox in front of the rabbit.
>Nick looked up at the security camera above, and then pressed the small black button next to the door. "Hey Honey, it's Nick, can we talk?"

>After a few minutes of waiting, Judy said "I hear a microwave running, is she seriously making breakfast?"
>Nick chuckled "You've got good ears. Knowing her, she's probably warming up a mug of yesterday's coffee."
>That prompted a quiet "ugh" out of Judy, to which Nick replied, "Be nice, she's going to help."
>Finally, they heard a heavy deadbolt unlock, and a paw with giant claws pushed the bunker door open.
>From the near darkness, they saw the tired and slightly angry face of a honey badger emerge.
