[b]DeSean and Others - The Road[/b]

The first vehicle had stopped and the others did too. DeSean was leading at this point and could see a figure in the distance, standing there, looking at them. He couldn't make anything out of whoever it was, male or female, alone or not. There was a widespread of forest like landscaping that could be used to keep any other people hidden from sight. There was also a vehicle next to the figure on the rode, a vehicle capable of providing transportation for more than one person. 

DeSean turned to his right towards his wife. There was two options before the group. One was to contact the being on the rode, the other was to turn left and head down the other rode. Jennifer just looked at him as though to tell him that whatever decision he made was the right one. She didn't want to argue anymore, it tore her apart. So DeSean took the walkie-talkie and spoke to the others. "There's someone up ahead. I can't tell if he's armed or not, but he has a vehicle. He's also near the trees, so I'm not sure if there's others. I say we head left here, take a different route. We can't risk it right now" he stated, then letting the speaker button go. 

Everyone in the other vehicles heard the talkies. Hank had one and so did Aiden. Hank turned towards Floyd. "What do you think?" he asked the man. "We don't know what he's capable of" was all Floyd said with his low tone. So with that, and one peak at Heather in the back seat, Hank picked up the talkie and agreed to turn left rather than head down the road. 

The three vehicles one by one started to turn left, evading the interaction with the unknown soldier. It seemed that slowly and slowly they were becoming somewhat of a group again. This one 'group decision' would hopefully break that separation between everyone. It had been Heather's event that made everyone go uneasy, though it wasn't her fault it happened and nobody blamed her - though it seemed she felt differently. The reason everyone was [i]broken[/i] was because they had lost their main leader - Hank. He had become distant and wasn't really interacting much with the others. Instead, he was in his own world - still. 

So now the group would go around to the next road and take a right up there to head to the outskirts of Baton Rogue. From there they will have to return back to the main road to hit the highway which would lead them north. 

"Do you think they'll be alright? I mean, alright as they were?" Jennifer asked DeSean as they drove. "I don't know. To be honest, he hasn't even told me exactly what happened. I try to get him to talk to me, but he refuses to bring it up. Guess we just have to let him get through it on his own" 

"What about Heather? I mean, she doesn't seem okay either" Jennifer added. "She's shaken up. I think she just needs some time. We all need some time to just relax. Maybe Baton Rogue will be the answer, who knows?" 

"Yeah. I'll see if we can take a break up in the next town" DeSean responded.
