Veronica has been explaining the tracker's functionality to Zuko for god knows how long, which could be about as long as they've been walking. When the signal stopped moving, at least, they knew where they were going.

There's a beat, and Veronica groans slightly. "The gods are evidently listening to me -- I was talking to Mel about how I saw a movie like this, once, and they all ended up staying in the last place not ravaged by zombies -- a mall. Since it has old stuff in it."

"Wonder if it still does. C'mon."
