Salem drove off towards Westleton Road to the west, High Street seemed familiar and Salem thinks he saw it in town.

Salem drove past a few buildings along short driveways at the edge of the woods. Before long, there was an intersection ahead, with another road heading off to the left while Westleton Road continued straight ahead. The forest continued on the right side of the current road, while on the left it was bordered by a hedge.

Salem continued down Westleton Road, bordering along with the forest on his right side.

The road continued for some distance with nothing branching off but minor dirt tracks, and soon the signs started calling it the Dunwich Road. Such roads were named for where they led based on which end they were farther from, so presumably this one would go to Westleton at some point. Eventually the forest petered out, and then there was another intersection ahead. The Dunwich Road continued straight on, and an unnamed road turned off to the left.

At the intersection, Salem still wasn't quite sure where he was at, and wasn't interested in going back to Dunwich. Salem went off on the unnamed road, hoping it'll take him away from that horrifying town.

OOC,It's called the Dunwich Road because it leads to Dunwich going back the way you came. It was called the Westleton Road further back because it leads to Westleton the way you were going. The name seems to be based on which end of it is farther away. That's what I was trying to convey above. Do you still want to turn off on the unnamed road, or would you rather keep going the way you were going?

OOC,Oh I thought I came across a T intersection, and can only go either the unknown road or back towards Dunwich. I'll actually continue down Westleton Road please.

The road continued past a large house on a short driveway, and soon it led into a village, presumably Westleton, where it intersected with another road. This new road went back and to the right away from the village, where it was called Blythburgh Road, and ahead and to the left, where it was called The Street. The current road curved around to the left beyond the intersection, where its name changed to The Hill. It ran almost parallel to The Street.
OOC,It was a T-intersection, but the road you're on went back to Dunwich and ahead to Westleton, and the intersecting road went off to the left. I'm sorry for the confusion. [b]Salem[/b], please roll Idea.

Salem continued down the road of Westleton which changed into The Hill, looking for any amenities that catches his eyes.

Before he progressed through the intersection, Salem recalled the name Blythburg. It had been one of the towns he had passed through on his way from Halesworth to Dunwich, and the Blythburg road had to lead to it. Of course, Halesworth was in the opposite direction from where he needed to go, which was back toward London, and there were no aircraft available at Halesworth.

In sudden recollection, Salem turned the vehicle down Blythburgh Road instead, the only thing running through his burned mind is his comfortable bed.

The road to Blythburgh, also called the B1125, was a long one, and its name changed to the Dunwich Road partway there. The surroundings started to look familiar. When Salem finally got to Blythburgh, he saw that it was very small, even smaller than Westleton and Dunwich were. However, it was situated at a major thoroughfare, as the A12 motorway passed through going from north to southwest. The A12 was also called the London Road, and taking it southwest would lead back to London eventually. There wasn't much in Blythburgh, mainly two inns: the White Hart Inn and the Blythburgh Holiday Cottage.

The countryside surely has lost it's holiday attraction and certainly had a change of heart in regards with working in the field. Salem looked to his watch, wondering if he should checkin with the inns and touch base with HQ.

"The A12 will take us back to London and UNIT HQ," said TInker. "We just need to get on it heading southwest and follow the signs."

"Alright," and so Salem speeds off on the A12 towards the London HQ, trying his best not to overexert the antique car.

It was a long drive back to UNIT HQ, during which darkness decscended. Salem pulled up at the gatehouse some time after 9:00 PM. A guard stepped out and approached the vehicle.

"Evening sir," Salem fishes around in his pockets and flashes his laminate, which to his surprise, has never eluded speeding tickets and impressed anyone. He rubs the sleep away from his eyes, as he awaits the guard.

The guard examined the UNIT identification card and nodded. "Welcome back, sir," he said, then looked at the woman next to him - and his jaw dropped. "Who's your passenger?"
