Dan slid into the cab beside Rawdon. They were invited, so this made plenty of sense. And there were no soldiers anywhere to be seen on the drive away from Gatsby's house. Fantastic! He grabbed at Rawdon's arm to point this out to him, but actually managed to remember in time that since he was the only one who'd seen them, he probably shouldn't do that. So he just grinned instead before turning to the Ominous Strangers and talking to them. He asked question after question about the card club and the other people on their way to the cards, and what the lovely whiskey had been, and all sorts. He was an Orderly who worked with old people. He knew how to chat and talk to fill time.
