"Still can't believe you traded in the Porsche for a mini van." Gar sighed as he stared longingly and upsettingly into the car seat in front of him.

"At least we can all fit in." Dick justified as he peered into his left rear-view mirror.

"I like the van." Kory chimed in as she gazed around the car.

"I think it's nice, more spacious." Reagan agreed as she leaned her back up against the car door, facing both Gar, who was sitting in the middle, and Rachel, who was sitting on the opposite window seat.

"We're not actually staying here, are we?" Rachel spoke unconvincingly as she doubtfully looked outside the car window, gazing at the run down motel they were parked outside of.

"I don't think we get a say in the matter." Reagan jokingly murmured to Rachel as she turned around behind her to look at the motel.

"You know, there's probably a nicer place down the road." Kory attempted to persuade Dick, looking directly into Dicks eyes. Dick, looking back at her, abruptly answered, "We're being hunted by sociopaths. Nicer places draw attention."

"Yeah. Well, they also make it easier to sleep." Kory further explained as she continued to plead her case. As Kory and Dick continued to discus the groups sleeping situation, Rachel, Gar and Reagan all sat in silence, sacred to interfere and derail the situation.

"One road in and same road out. Only one point of access we have to watch." Dick explained as he pointed into the direction of where they were going to have to watch. "And also. It's quiet. If trouble comes our way, we should hear it first."

The group all reluctantly nodding their heads in unison, pretending to have any idea about what he was talking about. "And who said anything about sleeping?"

The group all let out an exasperated sigh as Rachel irritatingly flung open her side door. Gar, being the only one still with a smile on his face, silently cheered, "All nighter. Yes!"

-

The group all made their way into Dicks motel room as Reagan and Rachel both planted themselves onto the bed. Rachel say closest to the edge as Reagan snuggled up against the bed frame. Reagan jokingly laying her legs on Rachel as Rachel reluctantly picked them up and placed them on top of hers.

Gar hopped onto the single bed, placing himself next to Reagan as he got comfortable leaning against the bed frame with a pizza box in his hands. Reagan turning her head to face him as she stared at the boy with joyful confusion at how excited he was.

Still holding the pizza box checking It was still intact, Gar excitingly opened the box and grabbed one of the slices as he quickly bit into it. Noticing Reagan's starring, Gar embarrassingly responded, "Oh yeah so rude, do you want a slice?"

Reagans giggling as she answered, "Yeah, before you eat it all."

Gar huffing a small chuckle with his mouth was full of food.

Dick made his way into the room as he abruptly announced, "All right, guys. Listen up. I could only get 4 rooms according to the front desk, so 2 of you are going to have to share. I don't care who but you both get to decide."

The group awkwardly looking around at one another waiting for someone to offer.
Looking down at Reagan, Gar tilted his head in suggestion as he was indicating them two share. Siting on it for a second, Reagan nodded her head in agreement as Gar offered, "Me and Alex can share. We've known each other the longest so it's kinda less weird."
