[b]Danny - The Road - Alex/Rob/Zoe/Andrew[/b]

He stared for a moment, considering this. [i]I think you'd be better off with just each other[/i]. He almost said it, knowing it probably wouldn't have been a lie. "Then we'll be glad to have you," he said instead, hoping Shannon didn't jump out of the truck to give him a piece of her mind. He took a look back to find she hadn't moved, the expression on her face more wary than anything. She'd understand, he hoped. "I'm Rudy... er, Danny. Rudy's a nickname. Doesn't matter to me what I'm fucking called." He held his hand out to shake their hands regardless. "This here's Alex," he said, nodding to the man beside him. "Come over to the truck and I'll introduce you to everybody."

Introductions went well enough, no one seemingly unhappy with the new arrangement. Danny said that James and Finch should ride with Andrew and Zoe, but like usual, James demanded Shannon stick with him. She only shrugged and nodded, going without much complaint. Danny touched her shoulder before she could go, whispering into her ear, "You sure? I know how you feel."

She smiled at him. "It's fine. Really."

So, with Shannon, James, and Finch moved over to Andrew and Zoe's vehicle, the groups proceeded on their way once again. "You guys lead," Danny told the pair. "Just keep heading North for now. If you think there's a good spot for a group to be hiding out along the way, make a stop there."
