Roger and Melanie both grabbed their door handles to bail out of car but neither one succeeded. The doors didn't budge. Roger reached across to Melanie's side and tried her door too, but it was no good. The air was getting thick with gas. Roger couldn't understand why her door wasn't moving until a pair of high beam headlights angled into the passenger side window came on and revealed another outline man. Roger was holding one hand over his nose and mouth. He noticed that Melanie had gone unconscious. He couldn't hold out any longer and his delayed breath was a deep one. Roger felt nauseated as the gas took effect. He wondered if it was a chemical side effect or just the oysters from dinner. He passed out face down in Melanie's lap. Not exactly the way Roger Tango's famous Twin Peaks maneuver is supposed to conclude.

A few seconds later, the men opened both car doors and the wind instantly swept away the red gas. A plain white van pulled up behind Roger's car. The two men lifted Roger out and carried him into the van which eased away as its side door slid closed. The car with the bright headlights fell calmly in behind it.
