Vocab 7/ Character study

After hours of searching for X-mus, and some very weird shenanigans from Quatro I started to get cold. I asked Quatro to pull over the car. He acted really startled, and refused to pull over so I could get my jacket from the trunk. Eventually Lindsey convinced him to stop for gas. When he went in to pay, I walked to the trunk.
