[b]Shannon - The Road/Metairie Area - Zoe/Andrew[/b]

Nestled in the back of the car with James, Shannon stared evenly at the back of Andrew's head. She didn't like this-- not [i]one bit[/i], but she understood the necessity. She was not [i]stupid[/i], Danny, thank you very much. Ultimately, it honestly broke her heart a little; No matter how many people they gathered, not all of them would make it. This rescue mission was risky at best, something these two were made harshly aware of upon hearing Jame's answer.

Waiting a beat, Shannon leaned forward and placed her hand on the head rest in front of her. "Trained men," she clarified. "But the guys in the truck-- so are they." Then they mentioned an auto-shop, and Shannon's mouth went dry. "We could split up," she suddenly said, her eyes glancing toward James.

Then, thinking on that a bit more, she added, "We just need to check these places out and see if they're there. We shouldn't need numbers for that-- if we're careful."

"Whatever we decide, let's hurry and tell Danny's group so we can get going."

[b]Tyler - Baton Rouge/Apartment - Katie/Liam/Scarlett[/b]

Tina and the others had entered the living room after Tyler had told his group. Elyse look dejected, while Caleb look flushed. If there had been an argument between them in the bedroom, they must have kept it quiet. "I'm going too," George announced, looking at the others. "Tyler took me on before. It's only fair."

"Here's his bowl," Caleb said, handing Katie the bowl that Adam had gotten her. Tyler wasn't in much of a mood for this, so he reached forward and took Katie gently by the shoulder. Thanking Caleb, he turned Katie around, marching her to the door. George moved quickly to gather his things while they stood awkwardly at the door.

Elyse clasped her hands together, hurt that Katie had pulled away from her. "Take care," was all she could muster. Once George was settled, Tyler quickly shuffled the kids out the door. He gave Tina and her group a small nod before leaving with George in tow. There was an unsettling silence in their departure.

"We should head back to the motel we cleared," Tyler said, meeting Scarlett outside. "The one you met us at, Scarlett."
