A message from the future:


I opened one eye, examining the pantries, noting the fire extinguisher lying on the floor next to me. I realized that my head was throbbing, then.

"There WAS a fire extinguisher in one of the pantries," I said. "Until it smashed into my head."

"Knock some sense into you," Janine muttered. I wasn't sure if she intended that as a question or as an observation. At least she was okay.

"Can you pass it to me?" Hunter asked. "Just in case there really is a fire, you know. Might be kind of important to put it out."

I grabbed the base of the extinguisher and shoved it towards the front of truck, where Hunter's voice was coming from.


Will it be loud?  Will it be clear?
