The only people Darius knew aside from Becca weren't here yet because they were driving with two small children and probably had to stop often. He remembered what road trips were like back in foster care. Not pleasant memories.
In his last foster home, he and Hunter would sit in the back of the minivan together and try to block everything else out as best they could. Darius kept them entertained by playing his Nintendo DS as Hunter watched.
It didn't stop the screaming from the younger kids at all but it was better than nothing. Sometimes he would let Hunter play it too and show him how since he didn't have a DS.
Various relatives who hadn't seen Becca in a long time and were curious about her boyfriend had congregated to Maryellen and Dan's house. It was hard to keep all of their names straight but he did his best.
