Checking the clock, she turned in her seat and got up. Pulling the med kit out, she set it behind the seat, then looked around. What else? Grabbing two blankets, she set them with the med kit.
• When Rayne had told them that the people may not be in the best of conditions, there had been an eerie silence. Opening the cooler, she looked to see it was full of drinks. She knew that also because she’d filled it before they left.
