Not that it mattered, since we were already being tracked, but I could hardly say that.Daniel drove. I rode shotgun. I'd tried to get Sam to take that spot, so her leg would be more comfortable. She'd refused. We opened the window into the topper, though, so we could talk, and left the curtains open.We took the worst of the back roads. Again, that wasn't necessary. Again, I couldn't say so.
The characters opted for a truck ride, avoiding Corey's mom's SUV, which would have been too conspicuous due to its police branding. Even though they were already being monitored, the narrator felt it was important to minimize attention, revealing a sense of tension and caution. Daniel was driving, and the narrator sat in the front seat, trying to accommodate Sam's comfort but ultimately respecting her decision to stay where she was.
They chose to navigate the worst back roads, a decision that seemed excessive given their situation. The narrator expressed a feeling of restrained communication, unable to fully articulate the reasons for their choices. The scene reflects their precarious state, illustrating their need for secrecy and the discomfort that comes with being pursued.
