They worked out all the details. Jack would

take the bus down to the town where David lived,
arriving the night before the rally. Jack would
stay at David's house, and David would take him

to the car rally on his way to work.
Jack checked with the bus line, and they
were willing to help him on and off. They would

also fold up his wheelchair and put it into the
luggage storage area. He was able to get a ride to

the bus from a friend and was soon settled in for
the four-hour trip. David was waiting at the bus
stop when Jack arrived. David's wife had a nice
meal for them, then Jack retired early. He wanted

to be alert for the next day and not miss a second
of it.

The next morning, after a robust breakfast,
Jack was ready to go to the rally. David helped
Jack into his car, and they were off. When they

got to the rally, the doors were not yet open, and
there was already a line. David helped Jack out of
the car and into the wheelchair.

Jack knew David was supposed to be to
work at eight. "David, you go to work. I'll be
fine."

"Don't you want me to help you at least get
into the rally?"

Jack shook his head. "I'm in line. I've got
my ticket. What could go wrong?"
