An Adjusted Course
They still had some 30 minutes of travel to do when Cliff took over the wheel. He saw that an adjustment in their course was needed in order for them to arrive at their destination sooner. After all, they didn’t know how long the fox could hold on, so the sooner they could seek medical attention for it, the better.
