If I so much as hear one banjo note...

The batmobile did not get lost on the road, that just didn't happen. The satellite gps was just too good and that thing could handle nearly any terrain.

Now the car he'd...borrowed, when their rent-a-car had broken down after an out of town mission...well that certainly could get lost. Especially since there was construction on the only main highway and the only road left had somehow led them to...was this a swamp? He was pretty sure this counted as a swamp.

Ugh god they were tire deep in swamp in the middle of nowhere with no other roads to go down and construction on the last one.

"I hate the country," Thomas grumbled in the driver's seat.

But of course as she said that, the road turned to a point where it seemed it had been swallowed by swamp. "Shit, can't go further into that." He sighed. "We'll have to turn back and see if there's anyone we can ask about alternate routes." Not that he thought anyone should live in this area, really look at the place, it was a mess. You'd think a house would sink into this swamp.

	"Then do it," she said. "And please, yes, let's stop and ask for directions." Maria rolled her eyes. He was like every other men and directions. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

He rolled his eyes back at her and would've pointed out he was hardly like every other man when it came to directions if he was willing to ask and had even suggested it.

Thomas turned the car around and drove back through the swamp until there seemed to be a side...well calling it a path would be generous but it looked like it could be walked, and had been. "Come on, maybe someone lives down there," he said as he got out of the car, since there was no driving down that way.

	He rolled his eyes at her. "I did drive back the way we came. But unless we want to go one state back on a detour, we should ask if there's any other roads open. Life's not a horror movie, and you act like we can't handle it if it is. Come on," he sighed and opened her door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"One, I'm very much not. And more importantly, two, if I did enjoy that sort of thing it'd be from someone who's...not family."

"It'd be more useful to make the banjo player pay, then at least he'd stop playing."

When they approached the banjo player didn't pause in his playing. "What're ya outatowners here for?"

"Just directions. The highway back there was closed about a state ago, only clear road led us here. There any side stuff open or way back to the main road without needing to go a state back?"

	The local looked between the two of them with narrowed eyes, studying them, before he put down his banjo and got up from his chair on the porch. "Gotta map inside if that'll help," he grunted and waved them in to follow him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
