LOL! Well, he isn't exactly good at making friends and thus doesn't really have people come over to his place. He would've had Alby over several times though to either help him work on shit or just to drop things off, etc. Therefore, yes, he went after the guy who at least is familiar with where he lives and he wouldn't have to get super detailed with any directions. And we all know Will doesn't give two shits about what Al wants to do with 'Roxy' at this point in the story, lol. He is all about "Me, me, me!" Except with his parents. Because he loves them. Not too many people fit into that circle just yet, lol.
(I decided at least one of us needed to have family members actually survive, btw, lol. It seemed like everyone else was killing everyone off, so I was like, "But what if they didn't all die????" I figured I already have and will give dear William enough grief. Let the poor boy have something to hold onto, lol.)
