A strong hand reached out and wrapped around the wrist of the woman. The hold was tight enough to inflict pain but enough to hold her enthralled. The grip was that of iron, the gaze was that of ice. Hal stared into the eyes of the woman who'd thought it fun to pluck his lighter from his pocket as it was some piece of shit zippo. She had no idea what that thing was, how important it was to him. He turned her hand over, never taking his eyes off her and took the lighter from her hand before speaking.

"This stays with me..."

He growled before turning back to the jeep behind him. The two had gathered a small collection of other survivors now. A big man and a soldier in some heavily modified truck, a couple of kids, the works. Hal didn't like this, not one bit. Too many people, last time he was in a group it didn't go so well. It was better on his own, it had to be better. No loss, no pain, just the endless road and the promise of death. People brought attachments and attachments caused only suffering.

Winston tried to busy himself with work as the others all talked. Introductions, jokes, casual questions were tossed about as the biker worked under the hood. His hands were quickly becoming covered in black grime, not that they were all that clean to begin with. He began tinkering with a few odds and ends until he was what was out of place.

"Your oil pumps gone out on you. You might have noticed the check engine light on a few miles back. Your oil pump went and that stopped the circulation of oil to the cylinders in the engine. Engine started to heat up and a cylinder blew. You had to have heard the bang then you got a bunch of smoke and your jeep stopped dead."

Hal said as his eyes still critically scanned the engine while he took a step back and slid his thumbs into his belt buckle.

"I don't have the tools or parts to fix something like this. You're gunna need to find a new ride."

He said as he turned around to look at the woman, whose names he had still yet to learn.
