Netas heard Johnny and turned her head to scowl at him through the window before laying down and rolling over so that her back was facing everyone.

((well, since the driver of the car is gone, you might as well take the wheel confused ))
"Hey! Don't do that, I wasn't done yet," Sally said like a little kid. She held up her half finished sketch of Netas toward the backseat, "turn back this way so that I can finish, okay?"

Netas grunted and crossed her arms over her chest. After a bit she sighed and rolled back over, hesitating before stiffly trying to copy the position she had been in when she was sleeping. Netas shut her eyes to complete the effect, but her mouth was pressed into a tight line and her eyebrows were slanted. Hardly the peaceful, child-like look that she had when she was actually sleeping.

"Hey! That looks nothing like when you were sleeping! I'm trying to get pictures of all of us in here. It's hard to draw something when your model keeps moving," Sally complained, while telling the truth. She knew that with experience. Having a moving model was a pain in the neck.

Netas' hand gave a slight twitch before she sat straight up, stiff as a board. She glared sourly out the window across from her as she spoke. "Gee, sorr-y." She muttered sarcastically as her golden eyes stared through her black bangs.

"That ain't a good face to have in one of my notebooks. I'm never ever going to throw any of these away," Sally said as she turned to a fresh page on which she could permanently show Netas's sour mood.

Johnny laughed at the conversation in the car, watching Sally sketch.
"You know what, if you wanted her to go back into that sleeping pose, I think there may be a bit of vodka left..." he started, unable to finish from laughing at the thought.
He stopped laughing after a moment but still smiled, reaching to turn his radio to a new song, We Don't Get Fooled Again.
He looked back ahead after a while, raising his knees high up to control the bike, then stretched his arms so they didn't cramp up from riding.

Netas pursed her lips a bit as she looked at Sally out of the corner of her eye, the sour look still there.

Sally worked on her sketch until she saw the town coming up. It was just a small speck on the darkening horizon, but it was there and she wanted to express it, "Look! I see the town," She dropped her pad and pencil on the floor of the car to point at the speck that she identified as the town.

Netas grabbed onto the front seats and pulled herself up through the middle, squinting at the tiny little speck. "Hoo-ray..?" It was still quite a ways away.

Johnny looked up, squinting as well into the sun.
"Oh yeah." he said simply. "Betcha word of us has reached this far. 5 dollars." he said, using one hand to drive and the other to pull a crumpled bill from his pocket, then putting it back in.
He looked ahead, nervous. He didn't want trouble, but if they wanted a fight, they would get it.

"Five? Sure, why not? For word to get to the next town, some one has to drive to the next one. Telephones don't work. There's no telephone lines," Sally said. She was confident that word hadn't reached this far yet. She had been a cop for a while, and she knew how word went form one place to another.

"Ah. We didn't shake on it." Johnny said with a grin, trying to worm his way out of the bet.
He usually did this when he knew he would lose.
"Alright, I'll back up behind you while we go through the checkpoint." he said absently, letting up on the throttle to pull behind the Mustang.
He waited patiently while the Mustang slowed to a stop while the officers came to inspect the car.
Johnny's Remington was close at hand if needed, but he didn't expect to need to shoot.

Sally was cleared, if only because of her amazing makeup skills. She had been through checkpoints dozens of times. The guards never thought that someone would take an hour every morning to cover up huge marks on their anatomy. That's why Sally did it. She woke up every morning early, just to take out cover up make up that was meant for covering up dark freckles that she had specially made to match the tone of her skin. Sure, it was expensive, but it worked well.
