Big Ray was the reason Orlando Tanner's crew was fleeing Lexington. He's in pursuit of Screwtop, T-Bone, Jelly, Quell, and whoever's left. He doesn't know that they are gone now, but what he does know is that the highway is blocked and there are people struggling for survivors. Ray was always a good businessman, ready to offer a proposition. Those he could not agree with in the past, on occasion ended up cadaverous.
