With Jack in the driver's seat, he waits patiently and sipping on his Monster as Ash curls up on a mattress in the back with a pistol in her bag and starts watching Futurama (one of the only DVDs in the truck) as she dozes off. Ardal grabs one of the Remingtons from the 'living room' and sits with it on his lap next to Jack in the truck, absentmindedly flicking his pocketknife open and closed. Brian sits on the small cushion below the firing hatch, his back against Jack's seat. Max sits in the back seat, with a pistol in the net of the seat in front of him. He clutches the handle on his door and the back of Ardal's seat tightly.
Jack reaches onto the mirror panel and hits the remote control then the door begins to roll up. Stepping on it, the truck plows out into the night, the floodlights cutting through the darkness like swords. Rolling down his window slightly, Ardal takes potshots at zombies in the distance while Brian opens the hatch, taking out the few zombies managing to get aboard the truck. Ash jolts up, aiming her pistol at the back window in the case that something manages to get in. Maxwell grips his pistol tightly, still holding onto Ardal's seat. They speed out into the night on the country road, leaving the gas station behind.
With their last stationary safe haven behind them, the group cracks a few beers and laughs along to stories told among the group. They continue to cut through the night, driving to god knows where, sharing old tales and jokes. During the three hours of driving, the group bonds together, learning new things about each other (albeit small things.) Jack pulls over and tells Brian to take over - he needs some sleep. They quickly switch seats in the darkness with Max searching around for those things in the dark, but none come. They get settled back in. Ash and Ardal take this time to trade seats. Ardal and Jack doze off in the back while Futurama continues to play, keeping everyone but Jack, Ardal and Max awake. Ash and Brian keep eachother company as the truck roars down the countryside.
