"Good morning, Annie! Pancakes are ready."
|
|||
|
|
Jack takes his hand off her shoulder. She <stützt sich hoch> and looks
|
|||
|
|
around. James is driving the bus on a surprisingly very intact highway.
|
|||
|
|
Yesterday's mountains are still visible in the far distance behind them.
|
|||
|
|
A seeminly endless desert has taken their place <might benefit from a
|
|||
|
|
description of said desert>. Annie gets up <need more descriptive way of
|
|||
|
|
saying that> and goes to the improvised kitchen area. Jack wakes up
|
|||
|
|
Michelle, then he tells James. <bus stops, engine turns off, they all sit
|
|||
|
|
down around the table and start to eat, short mention of what the dog’s up
|
|||
|
|
to>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
"So when are we gonna reach the <mining company> pit?", Michelle asks.
|
|||
|
|
Jack looks at James. James tils his head slightly and shrugs.
|
|||
|
|
"Like five hours ago?"
|
|||
|
|
"You’re kidding."
|
|||
|
|
"Didn’t wanna wake you up."
|
|||
|
|
"Uhh..."
|
|||
|
|
He grins.
|
|||
|
|
"Don’t worry, I won’t drive from here."
|
|||
|
|
"Wait... doesn’t that mean that we’re way ahead of schedule?"
|
|||
|
|
James shrugs again, this time holding up his hands. She turns to Jack:
|
|||
|
|
"How much ahead are we?"
|
|||
|
|
Jack glances at his watch.
|
|||
|
|
"About three hours. But if you’re as lucky with the wind as James, we’ll be
|
|||
|
|
more ahead by the time we arrive."
|
|||
|
|
"You didn’t sleep, did you?"
|
|||
|
|
"Sleep is overrated anyway - but if you allow it, I’ll be going to sleep
|
|||
|
|
very soon."
|
|||
|
|
<missing section>
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The four do quick work of the dishes. Annie washes them, Jack <rinses?
|
|||
|
|
Basically, he drags them through a bowl with clean water.> them, James
|
|||
|
|
dries them off, and Michelle puts them away. Jack goes to sleep after that,
|
|||
|
|
the others go to the front. Michelle sits on the driver’s seat and turns
|
|||
|
|
the key. Nothing happens. "Oh, yeah, that’s been a problem", James
|
|||
|
|
remembers. "Can you open the door for a sec?" He grabs a big wrench and a
|
|||
|
|
jumper cable, and heads outside. Michelle and Annie hear him opening some
|
|||
|
|
panel in the back of the bus followed by arcing noises. The engine begins
|
|||
|
|
to turn over. Michelle turns the key again. Finally, the engine roars to
|
|||
|
|
life. James slams the panel shut and returns.
|

|
|
<yeah, revision needed, I know>
