Character History
Kindred
When Alejandro is put in his cell in a Mexican police station, Derek remarks (in English) that Alejandro "looks like ass". Alejandro replies that he doesn't speak English. When Maya uses her ability on the police to free Alejandro, Derek is also affected and passes out. However, he revives when Alejandro uses his ability. He implores the two of them to take him, since he has a car. The three rush to his car, which is parked outside.

Graphic Novel:The Rogue
In Costa Verde, CA, Derek pledges a fraternity at his university. As part of hazing, he must complete a scavenger hunt with an assigned partner and meet the fraternity brothers in Mexico. Derek and his partner Rick happen upon Claire's Nissan Rogue--with the keys inside--at Costa Verde High School. They steal the car and use it to complete their scavenger hunt before driving to Mexico.
Notes
- Derek drives a Nissan Rogue the same color as Claire's--and bearing a CVHS bumper sticker. Furthermore, Derek states that he lives in New Jersey, but "picked up" the car in California, as the license plates indicate in The Kindness of Strangers.
- Given that Alejandro and Maya had just crossed into Mexico, they are presumably not far across the border. Derek would have had to drive quite fast to get to southern Mexico from California assuming the events depicted are roughly in order. This may be why he was in jail.
- A special Nissan Rogue graphic novel is available for those who sign up at NBC.com. It details how and why Derek stole Claire's car.
