"She is staying with all of us. So her contact with Jeanette and Chihiro will not be diminished. That is not the problem. Tonight, when she sleeps, the question is where?" Fernando lets his thought known, "We need to take this one step at a time. Step 1: We meet Elsa. Step 2: We lay down the basic rules. Step 3: We leave for this Doc What-ever and get you girls some needed things. Step 4: We continue. But first."
 
He gets up into the Camper and goes through his radio equipment, pulling out 3 of the 4 tiny Yeasu VX-2 handheld radios turns them on to a matching frequencies before handing one to Jeanette and the other to Hikaru.
(The Yeasu VX-2 is a palm sized multi-band digital radio, usually with an antenna as long as it is tall: http://www.oldtuberadio.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Yaesu-VX-2.jpg )
 
Fernando continues, "The only things you should be aware is the orange button on the side turns it on and off and the top button above it is to transmit. The large knob on the top selects various functions like frequency and volume. To set the volume - press the 'VOL' button and then twist the knob. Just be careful not to change the frequency. We will discuss other options later, but right now they are set to go."
 
He presses the transmit button, saying "Radio Check" into his radio and his voice comes out the other two. He then looks at Jeanette and Hikaru and turns his radio off, "You can turn them off for now by pressing and holding down the orange button, but when we are separated, we will have these radios."
 
(Note: had to add 2 more small radio to Fernando's inventory. They are small enough to do it.)

Hikaru turns off the radio Fernando gave her. "Has anyone checked the glove box of each Camper? If the Spirits covered everything, the paperwork for each Camper and an itemized list of certain 'cargo' should be included. Jeanette showed me her purse yesterday. The fact her identification says Duncanville, Texas instead of Charlton, Texas is not a problem. A guard will not know the name of every town in Texas. If a guard has heard of Duncanville, he may think Jeanette is an Immortal. Chihiro, Danielle, did you bring identification with you? Fernando, did you bring identification?"

Jeanette turns off the radio. "I haven't checked the glove boxes."
 
"I have my Renmei notebook with me." Chihiro answers.
 
"I brought my notebook." Danielle answers.

"Good." Hikaru gives a brief explanation of what a Renmei notebook is to two who don't know. "It's called a 'notebook' but it's a checkbook issued by the Renmei Bank."

"All of my identification is from New York State. Not that it matters, New York City might be gone but not New York State. But I'll deal with it." He tells her.

"So, no one has checked for the paper work? Please excuse me." Hikaru gets up and opens the glove box. "Here it is. Volkswagen Type 2, the drivers listed are Fernando G, Jeanette Miller and Hikaru Pointer." Hikaru skips down. "Cargo owner: Jeanette Miller. Contents include three medical kits, one individual first aid kit, oxygen tank, pulse oximeter, MAGLITE 3-Cell D LED Flashlight, Zippo Classic, Pocket Survival Pak, metal Spark-Lite, Tinder-Tin, UCO Match Case, UCO Original Candle Lantern, Optimus Hiker+ stove, fire extinguisher, Katadyn Pocket water filter, Campsuds Nalgene bottle and Fisher AG7 pen." Hikaru holds up the paper work. "Jeanette, after breakfast, do you want go over your inventory to make sure everything is correct?"

"Hikaru." Jeanette exclaims. "I have absolutely no clue as to what the customs agents in this world would be looking for. Put the paper work away, sit down and finish your breakfast."

"Why would there be any customs agents in the first place? This is, no matter how fractured, still the United States of America. Is it not? Any and all paper work across state lines should still be functional and acceptable." Fernando begins, "And, most of these city states should not care about paperwork in most cases except for truck shipments that goes through or to them. That is, depending on what is left of the federal government which I am still a part of. In this world as stated, paperwork counts for little, and between a fist full of coins and a firearm, one will get more from the handgun than from the fist full of coins or any paperwork one might have."

"Settlements are small, independent nations and they tax imported goods. It's like declaring items at customs during the old days. That's the simple explanation." Hikaru explains.
