What can you do to be helpful to us?

Unsure of what I could do that would be helpful, I made my way to the front of the truck and climbed over the various shifting piles of bouncing and rattling junk, ultimately throwing myself into the copilot's chair beside Hunter. "Watch out!" he yelled at me, reaching over with his right arm, trying to grab something that I hadn't noticed before, but it was too late. A laptop computer bounced out of the seat at about the same time as I landed in it, and because he was trying to catch it, he jerked the steering wheel too hard and it flew into the door beside me. Over all the rest of the noise, I heard a loud crack, and then the laptop tumbled towards the floorboard at my feet. "Damn it!" he said, putting both hands back on the wheel.
