Corbyn stopped the trailer. "Hey guys?" He steps out and grabs the map.
They all sit in the booth, waiting for Corbyn's plan. "We should move routes." He starts.
"But route 66 gets us to Arizona. Then we just have to keep going to get to Cali." Daniel conter argues.
Corbyn nods. "And that's exactly why we must change our route. I mean, the fuegos will probably be after us for a while."
"What do you suggest then?" Jonah asks..
Corbtn opens the map on the table and points to it. "Colorado." His finger moves. "Utah, Nevada, Cali."
"But we'll miss the Grand Canyon." Zach pouts. "I've always wanted to go there."
"Actually." Daniel starts. "We have to go through the Grand Canyon. There's an Indian reservation here. "He points at the map. "I heard they've taken over a major part of that tri-state area."
"Do we even have enough fuel to get us that far?" Jonah asks.
"Can't we just skip Nevada?" Zach asks.
"But, Las Vegas!" Jack whines.
"What if we... don't stay in California? I mean, there's plenty of rivers we can use."
They all look at each other, waiting for someone to object to the idea.
"What if everything has been taken over by the natives?"
"Let's settle in Mexico, then." Jack proposes.
"We can't. There's rebels there."
"Salt Lake City, Utah." Corbyn offers.
"Rebels."
"How do you know where they are?" Zach finally asks.
Daniel looks away. "Oh, me?" He looks back, feigning innocence. "I might've been... a rebel." He chuckles nervously.
Zach takes out his trusty Swiss army knife. "One minute on the dot to explain."
Daniel gulps. "So I might've..." He cringes at his past. "I might've accidentally killed a guy, and they're after my head."
"How do you accidentally kill someone?"Jack furrows his eyebrows.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY'RE AFTER YOUR HEAD!?" Corbyn focuses on the most important part.
Daniel looks down. "We disagreed on some things and... well, things got heated." He looks at his friends. "He was an asshole, so it was kind of on him, ya know?" He tries to dissipate the tension. "They totally think I'm zombie food, though."
Zach shrugs. "I can see that." He tries to contain his laughter.
Daniel crosses his arms. "What's the supposed to mean!? I know how to handle weapons!"
Jack joins in. "I mean, that time you guys rescued me, Jonah did most of the work."
Daniel jaw's falls ajar, and they all start laughing. He pouts and crosses his arms. "I'm great at killing zombies!" He whines.
Corbyn nudges him. "Cmon, Mister Rebel, we still need to find a route, so draw where the rebels are hiding." He hands him a pen.
He quickly starts drawing across the map big groups across state lines. Daniel sets the pen down once he's done. "Two months ago, it looked like this."
The whole of the West Coast was taken over, as well as the South Coastline. There were some splotches of rebels in the Midwest and some by Texas.
Corbtn sighs."So, it's either the North and we'll freeze to death during the winter -"
