Wolfwood sat in the front of the jeep that the three Gung Ho Gun's had brought with them trying to ignore the others in the car. Vash sat in the back between Dominique and Kain while Midvalley drove. He looked at the Cross Punisher in the back tied down and felt helpless.
"Don't even think about it Chapel," Midvalley said under his breath and Wolfwood looked at him and sighed.
They stopped a while later to eat and relieve themselves. Wolfwood sat away from the rest and Midvalley walked up to him and sat down.
"Cheer up Chapel," he said and Wolfwood glared at him.
"Don't call me that," he snapped and Midvalley looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Why not, you've earned it, and your precious orphanage is safe, isn't that what you wanted?" Wolfwood looked away and into the distance at nothing in particular. "Your problem Chapel, is that you care. Here's some advice: don't, because if Knives or Legato catches wind of it, you'll be joining your friend." With that, he stood and walked away. Wolfwood looked over to where Vash was sitting against the jeep, Dominique standing over him and met the man in red's eyes. What he saw there made Wolfwood angry; he saw understanding and forgiveness in Vash's eyes and he turned away to glare at the sand.
"Let's go," Dominique said, pulling Vash to his feet and roughly pushed him into the jeep. Midvalley climbed behind the wheel again and Wolfwood climbed into the passengers' side, still not looking at Vash.
