[IC] Sudden Payback (Session 1)

You leave Mildred in a parking lot for what looks like it used to be an ice cream stand, now boarded up. There's little traffic, so you take Sanilac Road to what seems to be the back entrance to the drive-in and start walking down the dirt path. The quiet is unsettling. Gnats and other country bugs flit about, seemingly aimed for your eyes. A copse of trees runs parallel to the road and blocks your view to the east, while another runs perpendicular to the road and blocks your view of what you assume to be the theater proper. As you walk south along the exit road, you start to catch a glimpse of what lies ahead...

You approach the bottleneck created by the trees, staying vigilant in case anyone tries to jump you, hurl beer bottles, or something worse. Hank scans the branches overhead for anyone hiding there: Nobody's there as far as he can tell, but by taking his eyes off the road, he stumbles into a pothole and has to focus on his feet to keep from falling.Marv, though hears the unmistakeable sound of tires on gravel and notices a beat-up car pulling off the road and driving, very slowly, along the tree line perpendicular to your own path. They don't look aggressive, but Marv suspects that they're planning to pull in behind you to prevent you from getting away the same way you came. That said, Marv does note that since you're on foot, you could always bolt through the trees to the east if the proverbial shit hits the fan.

You continue walking down the path as nonchalantly as you can muster. Sure enough, the car Marv noticed moves methodically to cross the path behind you, closing the gap between the two copses of trees. It stops there, but you hear the engine is still running.

Meanwhile, up ahead, you start to see the layout of the theater. It's mostly just an open field with white posts placed at regular intervals, indicating where cars are supposed to park to watch a film. There are a maybe a dozen beat-up cars on the premises, although only a handful of them are positioned facing the screen. The screen itself lies across the field in front of some woods. A building with peeling, white paint stands in the middle of the field, presumably where concessions would be sold and restrooms located if this were an operational theater.
