They drove forward for about half an hour more, arriving at a brightly lit section of road that was relatively lively. Many shops of varying heights lined the sides of the highway, mostly car repair services. Besides that, there were car washes, motels, convenience stores, and so on.

Jane McCain quietly checked the map on her phone.
