Jason voiced his confusion.

"No, but I heard that her uncle calls the shots around here, so we got in under his name" Vivian explained.

Comprehension dawned on Jason.He made no further comment, and the two continued to walk further into the woods.

After a kilometer or so, they found an obscure spot to hide.
