That's very interesting, I was wondering if the bus service would keep running during a power outage.

That's another problem for A in case he tries to close to the city in search of B. My characters chanches of having an happy ending are getting slimmer by the hour! wink

I agree on this. But waiting for a loved one to show up would be nerve-racking for my character, and that might push him to do something really stupid.
