The security guard had already been informed, so when they arrived, their car was allowed to drive straight in, heading for the parking lot.

Lewis and the others were already waiting for them by the lot.

Ryan Cobb and Ellie Cobb looked around, taking in the surroundings.

Gavin couldn't help but comment, "The greenery here is really well done. Looks like they've had professionals take care of it."
