Bus XCV

Scott: I hope Jack’s okay

Louisa: They’re doing tests, but the doctor seemed to think it was just exhaustion. He’s staying home for a few days to rest.

Scott: Maybe it was the fumes

Louisa: Fumes?

Scott: From the bus

Louisa: Aren’t the fumes usually pumped out the back?

Scott: That’s what they tell you, but my grandma always wore a gas-mask on the bus so they couldn’t get to her. I figured they’d never target kids, but maybe it’s time we started wearing gas-masks too.

Louisa: Yeah, I might do that. Have you thought about taking a few days off yourself? With all this vigilance, I think you've earned it.
