One of the things the other members of Lola's team managed to do—which also explained why they took so long—was securing a transport vehicle to take them elsewhere. Lola had requested this, even though they were already planning to use the underground routes.
Once they hitched a ride in a small truck filled with vegetables, Pika turned to Lola.
"Madam, I hate to interrupt, but shouldn't we use the…" He trailed off, leaning closer to whisper to her. "…the underground tunnels?"
The underground tunnels were the safest route, considering Lola and Haji already knew them well. They could easily avoid the traps hidden within. Nowhere during the planning stage had it been mentioned that they'd travel aboveground—except for the Bellemonte operatives.
"But taking the surface is the fastest," Lola explained. "The underground is the safest, but not the fastest."
