Cherise gives him a little smile as she leads them to a
motor home. She knocks on the door, it
slowly opens. Looking inside, Deacon can
see that it is crowded with people. A man
comes walking out first. He isn’t very
tall, and obviously overweight. The man
extends his hand. Very abruptly he
introduces himself as John, the man in charge.
Cherise interrupts the introduction, as she informs John that Deacon
drives truck like him. John is intrigued
and asks Deacon who he drove for. Deacon
explains he was a delivery driver for one of the local beer companies. John quickly makes a snide comment about
Deacon not being a real truck driver. In
response Deacon bites his tongue in order not cause any undue friction. Greg shakes his hand, and asks him if his
group would like to go somewhere safe. Looking
around at the desperate faces in his group, he tells Greg that they would. He immediately begins to boss people around, ordering
them to get things ready. A total of
fifteen adults and nine children were in the motorhome.
Curious, John asks what brought them there. Greg explains that they need fuel for
Deacon's truck. John whistles, and two teenagers
coming running to him. He starts barking
more orders, telling them to fuel up Deacons truck. Deacon thanks John and then wanders back to
the semi with the cargo container. Greg
follows, leaving John spouting off more orders.
