While the trip continues, you chat a little with this trucker.

You understand that no one should know your true identity. You have decided that you are now required to introduce yourself by a fictitious female name.

So you say to the trucker, "Thank you sir! My name is... Mary Batterson... Thank you so much for helping me get to Arizona... I'm going to get a job in Arizona. I tried to get a job in California but I didn't succeed."

The bearded red trucker smiles back at you and says, "My name is Marvin. I'm from Anchorage, Alaska. Where are you from, Mary?"

You quickly lie to him: "I'm from Texas. There's a small town there... on the northern border... Fookenstein..."

You chat politely with Marvin for an hour about all sorts of little things. Then you decide to rest for a while and you fall asleep with your head on Marvin's shoulder.
