"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>
