Location
Killington
Pine-choked trails and jagged peaks engulf Hoynes' three-day escape, tent stakes driven into frost-hardened Vermont earth as winds howl evasion through the canopy. Nashua's speech punctuates this wilderness feint, campfires spitting sparks into star-pricked darkness where political shadows lengthen unchecked. Isolation amplifies suspicion—Toby's accusations pierce Leo's office like axes into timber, raw terrain masking maneuvers that threaten Bartlet's orbit with veiled primary thunder.
