[It's an imperfect solution - but considering everything, it might be the best one. Royce staying up all night after he'd already been up all day is less than ideal, but if he and Alfie were to trade off watch shifts, the simple fact of the matter is that they'd be less protected during Alfie's. At least this way, if someone or something starts to approach them, they should have enough warning to drive off fast and get a head start. It still wouldn't be ideal, and all of their concerns about nighttime driving would still be in effect, but at least it would be better than death - or worse, capture.]

Wake me up if you really can't stay awake, mate. My eyes are better than nothing.

It'll be all right, sweetheart; don't you worry.
