They were nearly through the state of Ohio and Yates was still driving. Rigs was pretty certain he wasn’t giving it up.

Everyone stayed near Yates to keep the conversation going.

“Thinking about this,” Yates said. “It just hit me.”

“What’s that?” Rigs asked.

“This mission, right? We’re headed to some small Illinois town to get people who have survived pretty decently out there. In fact, they started their own survivor camp. A small town way out near Iowa, a tourist town, where people gathered …”

“Yates,” Rigs cut him off. “Get to the point.”

“They aren’t overrun …”

“Yates.”

“Okay. Okay. All because some doctor has a cure. Or a highly probable cure.”

Rigs nodded. “That’s right. What is your point?”

“Did anyone stop to think, if she was working on this cure, where the hell in Galena Illinois is she finding a lab, high tech enough to work on a virus?"

Silence.

“Holy shit,” Rachel said. “That’s a valid point.”

“Dude.”

Yates looked in the rearview mirror to Rigs. “What do you think?"

“Nothing right now, but you have me thinking.”

“I know,” Zeus said. “Maybe she found a meth lab.”

“Did you just say … a meth lab?” Yates asked.

“I did.”

“You said a meth lab,” Yates stated. “The man who is almost an equal match for me in chess suggests a meth lab.”

“You asked about a lab.”

“Do you honestly think she’s curing a virus in a meth lab?” Yates asked.

“You never know.”

“I can pretty much say with all certainty that isn’t happening.” Yates said.

“So, dude,” Kasper spoke up. “Do … do you th-think she’s lying.”

“I think something is up.”

“Hating to agree with Yates,” Rigs said. “He brought up a valid point.”

“But it makes … sense,” Kasper said. “It’s the apocalypse. Anything to make it a road trip.”

“Oh!” Rachel blurted out. “You are so right.”

“What?” Yates asked. “What is he right about?’

Rachel answered. “Every apocalypse story or almost every apocalypse story is a road trip story.”

“No.” Yates shook his head.

“Yeah, name an apocalypse movie that isn’t technically a road trip,” Rachel said. “Where the story doesn’t involve the characters going somewhere as part of the story line.”

“World War Z,” Rigs said.

“Road trip,” Rachel said. “I mean truest form of road trip.”

Yates guessed. “Armageddon.”

“Road trip.”

“How?”

Kasper explained. “They went on a spaceship.”

“I got one,” Zeus said. “The road.”

“Really?” Yates snapped. “The road? Remind me to never assume someone is intelligent because they play a good game of chess.”

“Dude, don’t make fun of our strong man,” Kasper said. “Technically The Road isn’t a road movie.”

“What?” Yates blasted.

“See,” Zeus said. “I knew it.”

“No it’s a road movie,” Yates argued. “It’s called The Road. Because they are on the road.” He noticed Kasper ‘trying’ not to laugh. “Kasper is just being an asshole.”

Rigs snapped his finger. “I got it.” He nodded arrogantly. “Night of the Living Dead. Go on, Rach, how is that a road movie?”

“Because they … they …” Rachel stammered. “They were on the road when they all met up.”

“No.” Rigs laughed. “It’s not and you know it.”

“Rach,” Kasper interjected. “He’s r-right.”

Rachel exhaled. “Fine, he named one, but that will be the only one he can name.
