Dion snorted.

"Are you gonna tell him Rai's looking into teleportation?" Wiley asks Raez, who just squints into the backview now that they've gotten off the highway.
Offline
"Really? I still think it sounds dangerous."
Offline
"Pretty sure he can already do it," Raez says. "Safely, too. But he can't do it on a high frequency last I asked. Anyways, you should probably talk to him about it if you wanted to, since I have no idea how he's been going about that."
Offline
"Uhuh."
Offline
"I feel like Dion's making the two of us seem rowdy," Raez mutters to Wiley, who bods his head.
Offline
"You're just kinda weird," Dion muttered.
Offline
"And THAT there is the mood of fine winter, lads," Wiley proclaims, helping the point.
Raez shakes his head slightly and laughs.
Offline
Dion rolled his eyes, slowly.
Offline
Wiley imitates.
Offline
Dion's instant reaction was to frown with reddenned cheeks.
Offline
Wiley puffs his cheeks out like a pufferfish and does slight blowing motions to look even more like a pufferfish.
The road's getting bumpy, huh.
Offline
Dion grants him a disgruntled glare.
Offline
Wiley just imitates the rolling-eyes action from earlier again.
Offline
He shifted in his seat again so he wouldn't be too jostled by the car's movement.
Offline
Wiley just continues the puffer fish look.
Fortunately, Raez is slowing down a bit by now.
Offline
Dion decides to look out the window instead of looking at Wiley the Pufferfish.
Offline
There's an unpleasant scraping sound from outside.
"Well, would you listen to that," Raez says, ignoring how the saying is "Would you look at that?", "that doesn't sound very pleasant at all, now does it." He mumbles the last part as he shuts down the engine and then re-locks the doors.
Offline
"Wonder what it is," Dion muttered while pressing his face to the window to see better.
Offline
The glass is somehow very, very hot.
"Did you bring guns, Wiley?" Raez asks the chemist.
"Why would you ask?" Wiley asks indignantly. "Of course I did."
"Great, because I did too. How many did you bring?"
Wiley leans the side of his face against the glass and jerks back. "One."
"Guess Dion's going gun-less then." Raez tries to look out the window.
Offline
"What? Guns???"
Dion pulled back quickly and held his hand against his cheeks to cool them down.
"Why'd we need guns?"
Offline
"Because there's something--pardon, some things--that want to get in the way here." Raez points downward, but neither Wiley nor Dion in the back can see. "Such as cutting this car apart."
He doesn't even finish the sentence when the car suddenly jerks downwards. Also, the middle is cut open.
"There goes our easy ticket out," Wiley says, whipping out a pistol and pointing at the middle.
"Get out first!" Raez shouts as he unlocks the door. "Don't you DARE shoot while I'm in the car!"
Offline
With a screech, Dion jerked up his legs onto the seat. He was panicked.
Offline
"FINE, YOU BIG OVER-REACTOR!" Wiley shouts back at Raez, moving his finger to the trigger. "HURRY UP AND GET OUT THEN." As if suddenly realizing Dion exists too, he adds, "YOU. DON'T STAY INSIDE THE CAR."
The problem with the command is that he never really actually looks at Dion or makes it clear who the second "you" is. So Raez has a brief moment of confusion before he just unlocks two doors in the car and practically slams his side open.
Offline
He didn't notice the command was addressed to him.
Maybe Dion is overreacting too. His right arm is shaking visibly while he huddles closer to the corner between the door and the seat. And his face is just fear.
Offline
Dion's seat is slanting down as the middle of the car caves in.
Offline
Now that was enough to push him to action. He pretty much tried to push-kick the door open to jump out.
Offline
Well, hopefully he's using the handles, or else the door isn't going to budge.
Offline
He messed around with the handle while kicking at the rest of the door, so there was a lot of useless effort there.
Offline
Thankfully for Dion, Raez opens the door for him.
Meanwhile, Wiley accidentally blows a hole through where Raez's right leg would've been had he not gotten out with a bullet. Looks like Eas is wiser than he looks.
