While the Skulk ceremony was taking place, Mark Wilson was just arriving at the town limits in an old VW bus. Keeping to the back roads like he planned took longer than anticipated and he was worried that he would not get to Moon Lake at the appointed time he promised Dieter. He takes his burner phone, camping equipment and weapons case out of the vehicle. Mark douses the vehicle in gasoline and sets it on fire just as he enters the forest surrounding the moon lake college campus while calmly thinking about the fortunate luck that came his way.
Just as Mark was crossing into Washington, he chanced upon a couple of college freshmen making their way to Moon Lake for the start of the fall semester. They were camping for the night as he stumbled upon them while looking for a quiet place to bed down as well. After an hour or so of pleasant conversation, they mentioned where they were heading. It was at that moment, Mark whips out the glock he had in a shoulder holster and puts 2 shots in the heads of both young adults. Taking his belongs to their van he smiles as he sees a map with Moon Lake’s location. Looking back at the two dead individuals he proceeds to dig a couple of shallow graves and dispose of all evidence of his and their existence at the camp site.
Mark was broken out of his trip down memory lane when his phone starts ringing. Noticing who it was he answers.
Dieter barks, “Status?”
“Just arrived in Moon Lake, boss. Keeping a low profile as instructed.” Responds, Mark. “Is there a change in plans?”
“No” says Dieter calmly. “We are on our way soon. If Jenny thinks we are going to show up a day or two before her ‘supposed wedding’ to this Harry Jenkins, she is in for a rude awakening. Just stick to your end. I will handle mine.”
The phone goes dead and Mark continues his trek in the woods. Looking at his watch he notes he has less then 72hours to find a place to make camp and establish eyes on Jenny before Dieter and company arrive in Seattle.

* End note: Apologies the author(s) of this story. I know the expected wedding that Harry and Jenny are having is on October 31. I'm assuming that all the preparations for the event and subsequent side stories are at least late early to mid September timeline wise.
