Baseball? Of all the things that could have been added to the conversation was if they played baseball? Perhaps that was why he simply couldn't focus on the map Thalia handed him, or that Thalia referred to him as a 'grunt'. While Alexander's eyes glided across countless red-dotted lines of highways, interstates, country roads and god-forsaken roads of all types and shapes, the only thing his mind managed to process through it's ancient wires was why she called him 'a grunt'. 

Why was this such an issue? Had he made it so obvious that he had spent time in the army? Did that mean they realized he had been in 'Nam back during the war and that he had...done things? They already called him 'Gramps', so his age was a dead give-away. But what else? He hadn't realized that his time alone had not only made him socially awkward, but also reckless in his phrasing. Would they ask him about his past, or was Thalia's question enough to distract them from the issue.

Another impact of a walker against the car brought Alex back. Like a deer in the head-lights, Alexander looked at them with wide eyes as if he hadn't heard what they said, before regaining his composure. [color=662d91]"Played only a little in highschool. Hancock, either third or second baseman, can't remember."[/color] Alexander tried to answer as casually to Thalia's train-of-thought, just in time for Thana's need for directions. Oh yeah, he had the map. Looking back at the map, he tried in vain to look for where on Earth they actually were on the map. But the distractions had done their part already.
