He wasn't ignoring the two people in the back of the truck with him, he was just looking for a sign of anything.  The kids, the townspeople, just...life.  the further they drive though, the more desolate it seemed.  It seemed everyone was lost in their own thoughts though because no one was really talking yet.<br/><br/>He blinked at the colorful man, distracted.  He didn't have time to process what was being said as the brakes were slammed and he was sent to the bed of the truck.  He reached out to try to catch Todd and the woman in the truck  with him to stabilize them but failed spectacularly.   "Hey," he called when Todd stood up.  "You all right?"<br/><br/>Riley quickly hopped down from the back of the truck, looking around.  He didn't know his way around like everyone else did, but he knew the wall of trees weren't supposed to be there.<i>Where were the kids?</i>He echoed the words in his brain as he stepped up to the wall.  He pressed on it experimentally but there was no way to get through.  He even tried getting on his hands and knees to crawl through but he only ended up with sticks breaking off in his clothing which hurt.<br/><br/>"They have to be outside the wall, hopefully with everyone else," he spoke as he stood up.  He couldn't believe everyone was just gone.  They had to have left, right?  All at the same time?  They couldn't have just disappeared and he didn't want to think they were running from something, but what if they were?<br/><br/>"We definitely need to get back with the others," he agreed, looking at the bluehaired man before looking back at Todd and climbing back into the truck.  "I'm Riley, by the way," he told them all as he moved to sit against the cab.  "Let's hope she doesn't hit the brakes like that again," he added jokingly, trying to lighten the mood, evan as he was wringing his hands.
