Jon's mother quickly corrected herself. "No, wait! Your sister and I are going to 'carpool' with you to save energy, Mikey is already walking to school, since you and Zoe go to the same school and I work close by."
The alarm bells went off in Jon's head at this, every old sci-fi flick involving teleporter mishaps flooding to the forefront of his mind. "Mom! Shouldn't we all go separately? Isn't there a chance something might... go wrong?" He shuddered at the implications of those last two words.
