So, the SUV battery is dead and they ‘have to walk’.
I really want to make this seem like less of an accident.. :)

That would be an interesting twist! I can’t wait to see where you could go with this. ^.

I’d love to see what sort of phones they’ve got that can discharge an entire vehicle battery in 12 hours.

That said, it’s got them into an interesting point in the story.

Yea, well for the sake of the story, let’s just say that their battery was old and going bad, anyway.
