They walk around to the back of the container to attempt to
open it, but a padlock on each door prevents an easy access. Deacon asks Greg to go get his master key out
of the tool box in his truck. Greg jogs
over to Deacon’s truck and comes back carrying bolt cutters. Greg cuts off both pad locks and they open
the trailer. By this time they have an audience
standing behind them. With both doors wide
open, an array of boxes neatly stacked lies in front of them. Deacon takes a package of papers taped to the
side of one of the boxes and opens it. The
papers say that it is all clothing.
Dave pats Greg and Deacon on the back and tells them “Good
find!”
Dave and Alicia invite their new found roommates to bring
all their belongings in to the visitor center. Deacon and Jeff help Jaimie get
her and the girls’ things down to their room.
John is the first to ask about a room. He demands that he should get a big room, as
he is the leader of the group at the truck stop. Deacon just tells Greg to do whatever he
needs to do with John. Greg can see that
Deacon is already starting to get fed up with John.
Dave also takes notice of Deacon’s displeasure, and turns to
Lana who is standing next to him.
“What is going on between those two?”
She informs him that they have a strange dynamic, “They keep
each other grounded. They have spent so
much time together, that it is almost like they can read each other’s mind. Greg thinks things all of the way through,
until he begins to run off of emotion. Deacon
runs more off of emotion, but it makes him more focused.”
She goes on to tell him that if Greg gets angry, Deacon is
about the only one who can talk him down, and Greg is the only one who can talk
Deacon down “By the look of things, Deacon’s patience is going to run out quickly
with John.”
Dave mutters, “Greg should just let Deacon knock
him out.”
