noises as the exhaust is sent into the back of the truck gaff reaches over and grabs a cooler from the front seat then opens it and takes out the food inside inside the truck the two men struggle to get out to escape the exhaust fumes gaff and his two henchmen watch as the men in the truck slowly die after a while gaff and his two henchmen enter the truck and scan the buckets of chicken for one
