On the bus, she didnt care if the Schoenfeld Laboratory was moved to Kamchatka or Tibet. She didn’t want to have anything more to do with it. She wished she had never heard of X-999. She wished Leana Sormi’s too, too perfectly groomed faxen hair had car grease smeared on it— No, she didn't either, she just wished that—that—oh, darn!
