<Reaching Nova Metropolis>

<p>
|
|
<span class="speech">Good morning, Annie! Pancakes are ready.</span><br />
|
|
Jack takes his hand off her shoulder. She <span class="comment">stützt
|
|
sich hoch</span> and looks around in confusion. James is driving the bus
|
|
on a surprisingly very intact highway though a seemingly endless desert.
|
|
<span class="comment">might benefit from a description of said desert
|
|
</span> 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.
|
|

|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="comment">Annie gets up, they sit down around a table
|
|
and start to eat. Also, a mention of what the dog is up to...</span>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="speech">So when are we gonna reach the <mining company>
|
|
pit?</span>, Michelle asks.<br />
|
|
Jack looks at James. James tilts his head slightly and shrugs.<br />
|
|
<span class="speech">Like two hours ago?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="speech">You're kidding.</span><br />
|
|
<span class="speech">Didn't wanna wake you up.</span><br />
|
|
<span class="speech">Uhh...</span> Michelle is at a loss for words.<br />
|
|
James grins.<br />
|
|
<span class="speech">Don't worry, I won't drive from
|
|
here.</span><br />
|
|
<span class="speech">Can't even be mad... Wait, doesn't that
|
|
mean that we're way ahead of time?</span><br />
|
|
James shrugs again, this time holding up his hands. She turns to Jack:
|
|
<br />
|
|
<span class="speech">How much ahead are we?</span><br />
|
|
He glances at his watch.<br />
|
|
<span class="speech">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.</span><br />
|
|
Annie chimes in: <span class="speech">You didn't sleep, did
|
|
you?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="speech">Sleep is overrated anyway - but, if you allow
|
|
it, I'll be going to sleep very soon.</span>
|

<p class="comment">
|
|
missing section?
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Michelle sits down in the driver's seat.<br />
|
|
James yawns. <span class="speech">Now that I'm thinking about it,
|
|
taking a nap sounds very entising... <span class="comment">Is that how you
|
|
spell that?</span></span><br />
|
|
<span class="speech">Well, you've ...</span> Michelle goes to turn
|
|
the key but nothing happens. She stops mid-sentence.<br />
|
|
James says: <span class="speech"> Oh, that's been a problem. Can you
|
|
open the door for a sec?</span><br />
|
|
<span class="speech">Sure</span>, she replies with a tone of bewilderment
|
|
in her voice.<br />
|
|
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.<br />
|
|
<span class="speech">As I was about to say: You've definitely earned
|
|
that nap. Thanks for driving part of my
|
|
<span class="comment">shift</span>.</span><br />
|
|
<span class="speech">Still considering it...</span><br />
|
|
The engine roars as Michelle sets the bus in motion again.
|
|
<span class="comment">Something is missing here. Idk.</span>
