CHAPTER 7

Torrents of rain soon came pouring from the darkened skies, streaking across the windscreen in front of me. I watched the wipers swat away the gathering droplets of water on the windscreen. We soon came to the centre of town. Things seemed unusually quiet for that time of the afternoon. The traffic lights moved to the green slot. There wasn’t any competing cars trying to shove into my lane. That was quite peculiar and suspiciously odd.

I stepped on the gas and shot past the zebra crossing in front of me. I wasn’t looking ahead of me. I nearly ploughed into some old lady that was lazily strolling on the broken lines of the zebra crossing. She looked ancient but wasn’t supported by a cane or a Zimmer frame. I would have most certainly killed her on impact if I hadn’t swerved in time to avoid crushing her under the weight of the behemoth of a bus that I was driving.

The bus veered off into another road. I nearly crashed into the cars that were ahead of me. My eyes twitched incessantly. I immediately felt stress build up in my chest. I took my foot off the brakes and pushed the door of the bus open.

“Where are you buggering off to now? Shouldn’t you be getting us to the school?” Miss Maple squawked at me from her sedentary position.

“I need some fucking air!” I gasped profusely, as I pushed my way through the door.

I crawled out of the bus on all fours. I tried hard to stabilize my nerves. All that action that I had been through was starting to mess with my head. I didn’t need all that excitement. Too much excitement often triggered panic. I groped around for something to support my frame. I eventually found the boot of a parked car.

“I can do this! I can keep my shit together!” I ranted hysterically, as I scrambled to my feet.

“Those cars? They seem abandoned!” Miss Maple croaked, beaming a confused look at me.

“Don’t look at me. I am as clueless as you. But I will say that people don’t just abandon their cars with the doors ajar for no reason,” I commented. “They seem to have left in a hurry.”

Miss Maple moved closer to me. She seemed to be less bothered about the lightening now. I had noticed she was squeezing Diane’s hand in the clutches of her stubby fingers. She must have been using the kid as some sort of stress toy to keep her from falling apart. I had heard of people being frightened of rainstorms but this was really beginning to look rather ridiculous.

“But where could they have possibly gone? You don’t think something serious has happened, do you?” Miss Maple asked inquisitively.

“That would be the million dollar question. We need to listen to the news.” I shot a desperate look at Diane and Miss Maple. “Does any of you have internet service on your phone?”

“Mine is flat. There must have been tons of incoming calls while I was indisposed.
