After it's all over:
I refused to get in that car to prevent looking like I was running away..

Pene knew what was up. He knew if he got in that car democracy was dead. Did he think he would be killed? it doesn't matter, he knew it was a possibility. He knew he would not be brought back to finish the count. Pence knew if he left, he wasn't coming back. He also knew that if he stayed and the mob got a hold of him, he would not have lived long enough to be hanged.

He also knew his security detail is to protect him. What he didn't know was how deep was the rot? Were there trump loyalists willing to kill him, inside the Secret Service? Or at the very least willing to keep him captive for 24 hours, while the Proud Boys wreaked havoc in the Senate building. Which would have enabled Trump to declare martial law and annul the election.
