INT. ROADS. DAY
CORDELIA WESLEY AND GUNN ARE IN THE CAR SITTING SILENTLY TRYING TO BRING UP SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT. CORDELIA IS DRIVING
GUNN
So where we headed
CORDELIA
I have no idea, He said
get out of L.A.
WESLEY
What does he think he can
all by himself, If like you
said Drew is going to be at Wolfram
and Hart with many vampires
what is Angel going to do
he won't be able to defeat them
GUNN
Maybe he won't even try
CORDELIA AND WESLEY
What??
GUNN
Like you said, if he's doing something
at Wolfram and Hart maybe he wants to
get there first
WESLEY
And by doing so preventing
Drew from doing whatever he does
CORDELIA
If he can even stop him
God.. I'm exhausted, you wanna
make a rest stop
WESLEY
Do you think thats
wise.. if Angel told us to
get out of town quickly
he must have a reason
GUNN
How bad could it be
I'm hungry anyway
just go get a coffee or something from
that next truck stop
WESLEY
Maybe we shouldn't
CORDELIA
Sorry Wes, I'm in
control of the car and I say
we have a truck stop coffee, no
matter how much it tastes like
lighter fluid...
THEY KEEP DRIVING
CUT TO:
INT. TRUCK STOP. AROUND THE SAME TIME
WE SEE WHAT LOOKS TO BE THE MANAGER LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW AT THE CAR AND PICKING UP THE PHONE
MANAGER
Convertible, black
DREW
Don't you know the model?
MANAGER
I aint good with car models
but the description of the people
inside fits it well
What do you want me to do
assemble the team?
DREW
Yes.. Kill them
MANAGER
Yes sir...
THE MANAGER PUTS DOWN THE PHONE AND HIS ARM TURNS INTO A SWORD. ITS OBVIOUS THAT HES NOT HUMAN
MANAGER
We have our targets coming
act like humans
PATRON
Its difficult, this human skin
displeases me
MANAGER
It should only take a minute
to kill them
HE STARTS TO WALK OUTSIDE. THE CAR PULLS IN
MANAGER
Greetings, what brings you
all the way out here so early
in the day?
CORDELIA
Leaving town...
MANAGER
And you need the jolt of coffee,
sounds like most travellers
YOu need the gas filled to
CORDELIA

WESLEY
I'll stay here and guard the car
CORDELIA
(DOESNT CARE)

GUNN

CORDELIA AND GUNN WALK INSIDE TO THE DINER AREA
MANAGER

life, change of pace is whats needed
MANAGER

WESLEY

THE MANAGER FILLS THE TANK UP. WESLEY STANDS BY THE CAR AND WAITS. THE CAMERA MOVES INTO THE DINER WHERE CORDELIA AND GUNN ARE ORDERNG A COFFEE
DINER STAFFER

CORDELIA
Oh thank god, I'm dying

GUNN

DINER STAFFER

CORDELIA

THE STAFFERS LOOK GETS BORED QUICKLY. HE RAISES HIS HANDS
DINER STAFFER

PATRON

CORDELIA
Excuse me?
DINER STAFFER
Get them..
THE MEMBERS OF THE DINER GET UP AND TRY TO ATTACK GUNN AND CORDELIA. GUNN TAKES TWO DOWN AND CORDELIA IS HITTING ONE
GUNN
(SHOUTING TO CORDELIA)
We need to get out of here
CORDELIA
You think
GUNN
Make a run!
I'll hold them off
CORDELIA RUNS OUT THE DOOR WHILE GUNN IS FIGHTING. HE HAS A LITTLE TROUBLE WITH HIS WOUND BUT STILL DOES OK.
WE CUT TO CORDELIA COMING OUT TO WES. THE MANAGER LOOKS SURPRISED TO SEE CORDELIA. CORDELIA LOOKS SCARED
WESLEY
Cordelia whats going on?
CORDELIA
(TO THE MANAGER) Your patrons
are trying to kill us
MANAGER
(UNENTHUSED) And they failed...
lousy bums
WESLEY
Cordelia get in the car!
THE MANAGERS ARM BECOMES A SWORD AGAIN AND HE SLASHES AT WESLEY WHO DUCKS AND HITS HIM IN THE FACE.
WESLEY KNOCKS HIM DOWN AND GETS IN THE DRIVERS SEAT. HE STARTS THE CAR UP AND BEGINS TO REVERSE
CORDELIA
What about Gunn
WESLEY
He'll make it...
Look in the back seat.. get
out the weapons
CORDELIA
What weapons?
WESLEY
I took provisions
in case something happened
THEY START MOVING WHEN GUNN RUNS OUT THE DINER. HE GOES FOR THE CAR BUT THE MANAGER GETS UP. THE INHABITANTS OF THE DINER RUSH OUT AFTER GUNN
WESLEY
Use the weapons!!!
CORDELIA
I'm trying!
BEFORE SHE PULLS BACK UP GUNN ROLLS UNDER THE MANAGER AND JUMPS IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR. THEY START DRIVING AWAY RAPIDLY BUT THE DEMONS START CHASING
WESLEY
Cordy NOW!!!
CORDELIA
Got it!!
CORDY COMES BACK UP WITH AN ASSAULT SHOTGUN IN HER HANDS AND FIRES IT AT THE GAS TANK. IT HITS AND THE PETROL STATION IS SENT INTO THE AIR BY A VIOLENT EXPLOSION, SWEEPING UP THEIR PURSUERS
CORDELIA
Where did you get all this
stuff Wes...
WESLEY
From Virginias fathers house,
when we used to date.
GUNN
These toys are pretty cool
But do you think we're safe
WESLEY
The truck stop is gone
we are for now, (TO CORDELIA)
No more pit stops...
CORDELIA
Don't look at me, Gunn
