*Though Luke is not a fan of the Toyota, he sees Bard's point.* Yeah, or some other car that can take the punishment.
*After a moment's thought.* I was actually thinking that once we get to this town in Pennsylvania, we might need to rent something that can handle this this weather. Like ... something with snow tires. *puts his hand on the dashboard* I love my girl, but she doesn't exactly have 4-wheel drive. The last thing we need is her getting suck in the ice and snow up there. *Or worse.*

Good idea. Not to mention we might want something that looks a trifle less conspicuous.
*he looks over at Luke briefly and then returns his eyes to the road* Do you have any idea as to what we're going to do when we get there?

*Luke's staring forward, also watching the road. He nods in thought.* Yeah. We're gonna want to head to Northeast Pennsylvania. *Luke reaches behind him for the road atlas.* There's a town there called Mountaintop. *Luke remembered the name for a number of a reasons, but mostly because it sounded so ******** ridiculous.* I don't know exactly where I am there, but ... according to one of the cops I talked to, there's not much to the place. I know I was in a cabin, and I know that they were squatting there.
It's not like the cops drew me a map to where I was ... *Luke turns on the flashlight and looks through the names of towns in NEPA.* But I figure it's a small enough town, and we've got enough time to comb the place. It shouldn't be that hard to find them.

Gee, willikers! An old cabin in the mountains? That sure sounds creepy! But what do we do when we find them, Scooby?

*Luke smirks, but ... it was a good question.* All I need to do is get a good look at them. *He finds Mountaintop on the map, right above Hazelton and Wilkes-Barre, PA.* It might not be a bad idea to get a camera either

*Bard rants in mock annoyance* "Help me get to Pennsylvania, Bard. Rent a car for me, Bard. Buy a camera for me, Bard."
Do I have a magnetic stripe running down my back?

*Luke checks Bard's face to make sure he's joking, and when he sees the man is, he says.* Yeah, yeah. Don't worry, I'm good for it.

*Bard smiles innocently and takes a sip of coffee* Don't worry about it. If you're short on cash, you can always set me up with your sister.

*Luke eyes Bard with a 'watch it' glance. After looking away, he made a 'huh' as he realized something and threw back.* She is single right now. She's 17. But she's single.

*busts on him* Did it hurt - doing all that math? Yeah, we're twins. *Luke instinctively reaches for his wallet, but ... then he remembers that he followed Bard's advice and took all the pictures of his family out of it.* I don't have a picture on me. She got most the looks. *adds* And all the manners.

*Bard can't help but smirk, he mutters in his very best James Earl Jones voice* So... it would seem young Luke has a twin sister. If you will not join the Dark Side, perhaps she will....

*laughs* Yeah, cause I didn't hear that enough during my childhood. Thank God they didn't name her Leia.
You notice? I can use "the force" in the Brink, too.

It hadn't occurred to me. I was too busy thinking about how I'm a scruffy looking nerfherder currently transporting you in the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy on a rescue mission.
"You think a princess and a guy like me...?"

No. *and grins halfway through as he realizes it's the line*
Hate to break it to you, but I don't think you're her type.
