"Well, I for one, don't want to walk. I'll ride with Silence."

Secretly, Mikael had some questions for this "Silence" character. Specifically, he wanted to ask about the two women who were walking. Why would someone call an SUV unnatural? The only reason that came to Mikael's mind was werewolf. His thinking may have been clouded by fear or anger, although he could not tell you which, and it would have been very, very possible for it to be a mix of both. He knew one of the girls' names was Ruri, that the wolf was named Dranger, and that the other woman was odd, to say the least. 

The other man, David was his name, looked like someone Mikael could get along with. He looked like a man that gave in to his vices much too often and had a good time doing it. There was something about a man who could look his problems in the face and say, "So what" that Mikael could admire. While riding with him to the compound wouldn't have been terrible, it may have been awkward to fit two grown males on a bike, especially when an SUV was available. That, and Mikael really wanted to know if the two women were werewolves. He wasn't sure if he would make a plan to dispose of them, but he needed to know.

Mikael climbed into the passenger's side of the SUV, dumping his pack in the back seat. He looked at Silence, patiently waiting for the SUV to start before asking any questions.
