"If we--" Furiosa begins, then quiets as Throttle makes a V8 salute and ducks his head briefly. Whatever he's thinking or doing, she doesn't care to interrupt, but she resumes talking as soon as he's done.
"If we can learn more, we could set a trap," she says. "But we're going to have to find it first. If I were a big animal that had just eaten..."
She scans the horizon around them, trying to decide what direction to hunt in, but it's all pretty flat out here. One direction is the same as the others, except for the way they came. "Of course, if it's after heat, Gastown would be the place to go. They run the refineries at all hours, even now."
Gastown, or maybe the Citadel itself, but she doesn't want to think about that possibility. Throttle picks up a couple pieces of bent metal and begins to carry them back to the car as she trails off. Neither of them will notice, but the Spine may sense a distant quiver under the sand. Something is coming, whether it's the monster they're chasing or not.
