Danny sighed thankfully, apparently no one had heard here. She shivered as the thought of what they might have done if they had heard her drifted into her thoughts. She quickly pushed the image far from her conscious. Then half closed her eyes sleepily.

Theo nodded to Sam, then turned to the hearse. "Because...we know a lot about them too, if you get what I mean."

Sam had managed to overhear what Danny said. Now this was interesting. They didn't seem as 'new' as the others, but had come here, either by chance or were drawn here.
"I couldn't help but hearing -" Sam said to the Mack truck. "But don't worry, you are not alone."

Rose blanched slightly but remained calm. 'More humans? I thouht i was the only one...' Her eyes were wide and she couldnt help but stare at them.

Isaac, another 18 wheeler, a dark green Mack Superliner, was parked beside the hearse. He looked to Danny for a moment. "Things do look much smaller... I wasn't always, erm... here, like this, y'know? And there's a lot of others." He spoke quietly to the other semi, not wanting anybody in the diner who might not know about the situation to hear.

"It will help if you refer to anyone not like you as being 'local'. I'm a local myself, but do have some cabability to help you." He looked at the big grounb. He didn't think there would be that many. Maybe it was time to ring up few contacts and secure some abandoned warehouse as housing, or maybe ring up some big contacts to secure a apartment complex. But in such a small town, any of those methods would be a talk of the year. Better go with what they had, leash/buy family houses or apartments and gather them in there.
And that was a hit on the wallet, even though it was nicely sized.
"Well, it prevents us from being tossed in the looneybin, or worse, the government actually listens and believes, and I wager being in their 'care' is what I wouldn't choose over the looneybin." Maxwell said. "Good for morale as well." He scowled inward at himself. He was supposed to be the leader, being the first one and some charisma, but being around a tuner, which inadveritely exposed him with his odd smell, had knocked out all his cool. He had to learn to keep his trap shut when in such situation.

"The government is a bunch of beaucratic cowards," Ebony said low, "They don't help you, they just want to make money and be the first to say that they're helping a less fortunate people before any other country can. I wouldn't trust them with my life either, so I get what you mean about your kind sticking together. Same with my people too."

Rose closed her eyes and took deep breaths. "I cant believe this is happening to me...when will all this confusion end...."

"My name's Isaac... Isaac Ammerson," the green Superliner replied. "I just 'got in town' today, if'n y'know what I mean... the same with the lot of the group here." He paused for a moment with an awkward look on his front as if he were forgetting something. "Nice to meet you, by the way."

Danny giggled at his expression before she smiled sweetly, "Pleasure to meet you Isaac. I've been here for several months now. Oh and my name is Danielle Elizabeth Willows, but you can call me Danny. Danielle is just too....girly for my tastes."

"Danny it is, then, " he paused, "Several months... so you've gotten pretty used to life around here. I'll admit, I was weary of the choice of drink... but it really ain't bad. Kind of tastes like coffee. I also got to know... where do we big rigs stay? We drove past some hotels on the way here, and I know I wouldn't fit there."

Danny looked down at the floor and shuffled her tires embarressed, "Well....um....I just sleep outside with my trailer. The trees are my walls and the sky is my ceiling. Sorry Isaac, I can't help you there."

"Hey, no reason to be embarrassed by that. You don't know how many nights I spent sleepin' in my truck on the side of the road when I was longhaulin' before I was here. I'm pretty used to roughin' it." He chuckled a little, and took another slurp of his drink. "Besides, I always did enjoy campin'."
