The Truth - Life Lesson 1

I didn't even grab my stuff. I was that confident I could pull off this solo act to find my parents. I just took off, without warning or explanation. I remembered seeing the name of a town in Virginia amongst the Institute stuff. I thought it would lead me somewhere, or at least give me some clues. So, I decided to fly there.

By the time I got to the end of New Jersey, I was completely soaked. I had flown all night and into the morning in the rain.

First, it began to downpour, and then would fade to a drizzle and start back up again. It was almost like the rain was stalking me from state to state. Let me tell you, the huge gusts of wind weren't helping any, either. It took me hours longer than it should.
