Good morning, Annie! Pancakes are ready.
Jack takes his hand off her shoulder. She stützt
sich hoch and looks around in confusion. James is driving the bus
on a surprisingly very intact highway though a seemingly endless desert.
might benefit from a description of said desert
Yesterday's mountains are still visible in the far distance
behind them. Jack goes to wake up Michelle, then he tells James who pulls
over onto the side of the highway and stops the bus. The engine goes
quiet.
Annie gets up, they sit down around a table and start to eat. Also, a mention of what the dog is up to...
So when are we gonna reach the <mining company>
pit?, Michelle asks.
Jack looks at James. James tilts his head slightly and shrugs.
Like five hours ago?
You're kidding.
Didn't wanna wait you up.
Uhh... Michelle is at a loss for words.
James grins.
Don't worry, I won't drive from
here.
Can't even be mad... Wait, doesn't that
mean that we&apois;re way ahead of time?
James shrugs again, this time holding up his hands. SHe turns to Jack:
How much ahead are we?
He glances at his watch.
About three hours - but if you're as lucky as
James, we'll be even more ahead by the time we arrive. The wind has
favored us so far.
Annie chimes in: 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 them off in a bowl of clean water, James dries them, and Michelle puts them away. Jack goes to the back of the bus to sleep. The others go to the front.
Michelle sits down in the driver's seat.
James yawns. Now that I'm thinking about it,
taking a nap sounds very entising... Is that how you
spell that?
Well, you've ... Michelle goes to turn
the key but nothing happens.
Oh, that's been a problem. Can you open the
door for a sec?
James grabs a jumper cable and heads outside. They 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 starts
running. James slams the panel shut and returns.
As I was about to say: You've definitely earned
that nap. Thanks for driving half of my portion.
Still considering it...
Michelle sets the bus in motion. The engine roars as it continues along
the Idk what exactly to put here. Suggestions?
