When the thrumming of the helicopters fades, 
blending with the desert wind, they stop the 
car at the edge of a cliff and look back.

In the distance they can see a thin column of 
smoke twisting to the sky, pitiful token of the 
immense destruction they've left behind.  

Somewhere beyond the ruins is another truck 
like theirs.  They can't see it, but they know 
it's there.

A tumbleweed blows by, topples eagerly over the 
cliff.

"Do you think we'll ever see them again?"

"I hope so, John."  Her hand reaches for his 
and he squeezes, tightly.  

"I hope so."
