"I was safe the entire time, wasn't I?" Katie slowly asks, "I'm not trying to be cocky or anything, I'm just asking."
Lane rolls his eyes as if it should already be obvious, looking back out onto the damp woods in annoyance. "What do you...

Crumbling of the brown bag filled with food echos in the black Cadillac. Katie licks her chops at the sight of the brown bag, smelling the greasy content aainside. The thought of eating excites the blonde. Katie greedily grabs for the bag as Axel swings the bag behind him, nearly hitting Lane in the face.
The crime lord's stomach growls at the up close smell of the fast food. He reaches down at his feet and takes out his uneaten burger that was wrapped up for him. When he unwraps his burger and takes a bite, he freezes. His face twist in disgust. The burger, cold from the long period of not being ate, contains ketchup and mustard on the single patty. He rolls his eyes and tries not to gag as he swallows the bite of burger.
"Disgusting..." He wrinkles his nose in disgust.
Katie quickly opens the bag and begins munching on the fries, the salty taste heavenly in her mouth. She had not realized how much she truly loved fries until that very moment. She continues to inhale the fries two to three at a time. She does not notice Lane's long stare on her as he watches her down her food effortlessly.
"Hungry?" The crime lord arches his brow, staring at her lips that have grease on them from the fries.
Katie nods her head, her mouth full. "Yes, I am!"
A few pieces of potato spray from her mouth as she talks. Lane's face twist with disgust, flickering the pieces off of his hand and coat.
"Don't talk with your mouth full." He heavily sighs, looking back at his burger in disgust. "Yuck."
Katie's holds out the bag for him, smiling happily. "Wanna share?"
Lane shakes his head at her, his spur expression softening at her gesture. "No, thank you sweetheart. You and the baby need to eat."
Katie remains silent for a while, slowly eating her food as she thinks of a way to talk about what's on her mind without angering Lane. The crime lord takes another bite of his cold burger, nearly gagging. He wraps it in the foiled paper and crumbles it up. Lane reaches down in the suitcase at his feet, takin out a stack of money. He takes out a twenty dollar bill and leans forward, handing the bill to Axel.
"Go in and get me something warm and greasy." Lane leans back in his seat, straightening himself up. "I'm starving."
Katie hesitates to speak as she hears the aggravation in her lover's voice. Lane looks over at her, seeing her sad expression. Axel quickly collects himself and climbs out of the vehicle. Max's snores from the front seat can be heard by the two lover's in the backseat.
"Is it not what you wanted?" Lane asks with concern.
"Yes..." she nods, taking another bite of her chicken nuggets.
