Joe, now again taking point, starts to follow Marcus.

"I can understand why we helped him, but why are we following him!?", Haleigh asked bewildered.

It was a silly question, especially since she has known him for practically all of her life; Joe has always been illogical, even when times were more 'normal'. But to counteract this, he has always been kindhearted and helpful very deep down inside, even if he puts up a tough front. Also, having more mobile allies couldn't hurt, so there's that.

"He has a bike! That's all the reason [i]I'd[/i] need!", Joe reasoned. He flashed his lights at their new bike acquaintance and the two fell in just slightly behind Marcus, ever so slightly on the side of caution.
