Hikaru and Moro return to the gas Camper.
 
"Jeanette," Hikaru begins, "you, Danielle, Chihiro, Moro, Elsa and Anna will be sleeping in the large room. Fernando, Macey and I will be sleeping in the other room."
 
Jeanette retrieves her suitcase. She wonders what, if anything, is best to bring inside as apposed to leaving in a freezing vehicle overnight. She thinks about her pulse oximeter. Jeanette is not sure; to be safe, she decides to bring it with her. For just in case, a medical kit will come in handy. Her Pelican case can remain in the Camper but she will need her journal and pen. Jeanette can make more than one trip. "You have to show me where it is."
 
Moro retrieves her suitcase. "I'll show you." She addresses Elsa and her sister. "Elsa, you need to get your suitcase. Anna, you need to bring the bag your other clothes are in."
 
Chihiro closes her laptop and puts it in her laptop bag. She takes her laptop bag and her suitcase with her.
 
Danielle feels what she believes is her suitcase. It's hers. She also retrieves her gun care kit.
 
Hikaru retrieves her suitcase, which she will take to the other room.
 
Jeanette locks the Camper for the time being.
 
Moro approaches Elsa and speaks softly so that no one other than members of the party can hear her. "Elsa, you can't display your power in public. We're not in Texas."
 
"I can't show off my powers?" Elsa asks.
 
"Only in Texas you can."
 
"I can't turn off this winter."
 
"Don't worry about it. Everything will be fine."
 
Hikaru goes to her and Fernando's room and lays her suitcase on one of the twin size beds.
 
Moro leads the others to the large room. Elsa and Anna get beds next to each other. Chihiro lays her laptop bag on a hospital style tray table.
 
Jeanette Isabelle and Arik

"What were we supposed to decide on at this time?" Hikaru asks. "It's more than an hour until diner."

Anna looks around the large room and whispers to Elsa in their native language. "Are all of us supposed to sleep in the same room?"
 
"Yes," Elsa answers, "this is how the soldiers live."
 
"Where's the chamber pot?"
 
Moro points to the bathroom door. "It's this way."
 
Elsa takes Anna by the hand. "I'll show you." Elsa leads Anna to the bathroom and closes the door. Elsa refers too the toilet. "Here people use that instead of a chamber pot. Afterwards, you push the lever down."
 
After she is finished, Anna asks, "What do I push?"
 
Elsa demonstrates by flushing the toilet and Anna is startled by the noise.
 
"You need to wash your hands with soap and water."
 
Anna looks at her sister.
 
"It won't make you sick. Washing your hands helps to keep you healthy." Elsa removes her gloves to demonstrate. She turns on the water, gets her hands wet, uses the soap for ten seconds and rinses the soap from her hands. She dries her hand with a towel. "Just like I showed you."
 
Anna copies what her sister did. Elsa hands Anna the towel and turns of the faucet. This time there is no frost on the faucet. Elsa puts her gloves back on.
 
Jeanette Isabelle

"Take the girls out to town. Let them stretch their legs, because sitting around in a moving vehicle for more than 4 hours straight is not good for you. You need to get the muscles moving, you need to get the blood flowing. Having girls sit down in a room after sitting down in a camper all day is not good for them. This is why you, Jeanette, and Moro need to take the girls out and explore the town. When I am done with Macey's clean up, she will join you girls." Fernando says to Hikaru. He adds, "The campers needs to be checked, and checked often, especially on a long trip like this that is going to take several days if not weeks to get to Texas. I will do what I can in that but Jeanette needs to do her part in that as well. As I see it, she needs to top off the gas tank because tomorrow's trip will empty it. Basic maintenance is needed so that there are no break downs further down the line. The Campers might be like new but that does not mean that one can skip on checking things out. An unseen piece of glass or nail in the tire and somebody is going to get a flat. Or somebody in their anti-mutant activities put a bomb under the chassis, you wont know that unless you check out the camper. When it comes to motor vehicles, I am very paranoid as to what could happen, and pro active in making sure that things are OK."

"I thought Jeanette already had something in mind."
