While Jess was putting the driver down, Rex inserted a tube
into the car and began siphoning gas out of the tank. The tube was clear,
allowing him to avoid getting a mouthful when the gas started to flow. He eyed
their surroundings as the gas can filled; you could never be too careful in The
Wastes.
The can was half full when he noticed a dark spec on the
horizon, heading for them.
“Jess, we’ve got company.”
“Shit,” she said. “How are we on the gas?”
“About halfway.”
Jess coaxed the vehicle to life, and eyed the speck nervously.
