Gao Yang, who had just been jolted awake from his sleep, was still groggy, but when he saw Nate, Little Donnie, and Uriyangko all standing by the car door, leisurely looking at him with smiles, Gao Yang finally realized he had been tricked.
Nate shrugged as Gao Yang's face relaxed from tense to calm, and said, "See, my method works the best."
Little Donnie, with an embarrassed face, said to Gao Yang, "You were sleeping so deeply you didn't wake up when we called or when we shook you. But as soon as Nate mentioned 'stand guard,' you woke up immediately."
Gao Yang irritably switched off the safety catch on his gun, flipped Nate the middle finger, and then, rubbing his face, he looked up at the sky only to find that it was already beginning to get light.
Uriyangko laughed heartily and said, "All right, everyone's here, time to hit the road."
Nate unceremoniously said to Gao Yang, "Move over, make some room, we've got a lot to talk about on the way."
