Claude's mood could hardly get any worse. Primatech Hartsdale had been a dead end. Claude wasn't sure if he was more upset about not finding anything other than the place having been burned to the ground or the fact that he'd had to report his lack of anything concrete back to someone else. He'd left Caitlin, a friend of Peter's a note rather than face her, back on the 22nd of April then hitched a lift on a big rig transport headed south. That was just over 2 weeks ago. The vehicle Claude had originally stowed away on had broken down, twice, and Claude had needed to find other transport as well as food. In some rural southern town in the middle of nowhere on the 29th of April, Claude had found a bus and hitched a ride on that. It took Claude far longer than he'd have liked to reach Texas and by the 3rd May, the people on the bus were really getting on the invisible man's nerves. When the bus stopped, on the 8th of May, Claude got off of it, resolving to walk to Odessa if he had to. Claude nicked some food at a convience store then walked to a motel, found a vacant room, picked the lock and went in. He made certain to dead bolt the door, once inside. Claude ate his ill gotten meal then dozed off on a bed.
