Yeah, we'll drive for a while. I bet any gas station around here's gonna have a bungee cord or somethin' we can swipe to hook that thing to the seat.

[It'd be a helpful investment in general anyway. Maybe a couple bungee cords so the bolt cutters can get strapped down under his leg. They're stable enough for now but there's got to be a more space-efficient way to carry them.

When the sirens have died down for at least ten minutes, Johnnie decides the cops must have given up - they've truly lost them with all the zig-zagging and the racing down straightaways. He circles back to the last gas station they passed, and pulls up to investigate.

This one is still staffed apparently, late into the night. There's an attendant at a register inside, and a car ahead of them just now pulling away, and he can't work out if that's helpful to them or not.]


Could drive around to a closed one maybe, there's gotta be somethin' that isn't 24 hours here, right?

[As he wonders, the attendant looks up at them sitting still on the pavement there, and pokes his head out the front door.]

Hey there! You need a hand?
