Fortunately, the roads were emptier, a small mercy as Dalton's sleepiness occasionally led to swerves. The emptiness of the highway meant his lapses in concentration posed no risk to others, a small comfort amidst his growing unease.
A Car on the Road
In the dim evening light, Dalton's tired eyes noticed something unusual - a car awkwardly positioned and encroaching into his lane. At first, he wondered if his weary mind was playing tricks on him, but the obstacle was all too real, an unexpected hurdle on his way home.

The Bus was Very Heavy

Searching for a Spare Tire
Inquiring about a spare tire revealed another layer of unpreparedness; the man's uncertainty regarding such a basic emergency plan was a warning sign. Dalton's patience and willingness to help were put to the test as they navigated this unexpected obstacle together.
The man's secret actions, making sure Dalton wasn't watching while he retrieved the spare tire, hinted at something hidden in the bus. His deliberate attempt to keep Dalton away while getting the spare tire added another layer of mystery to the already tense situation.
Noting the License Plate
Dalton's decision to mentally note the vehicle's license plate was a precaution prompted by intuition. This small act of care, seemingly insignificant at the moment, would later prove to be a crucial puzzle piece in unraveling the evening's events.
Dalton could hear the man in the bus, the sound of hurried movements signaling a desperate search. The delay in finding the spare tire dragged on, testing Dalton's patience as he wanted nothing more than to end this unexpected roadside encounter.
Thanking Dalton

This quick solution was a testament to Dalton's skill and willingness to help, despite the unfolding mystery surrounding the stranded vehicle.
Dalton offered the man practical advice, suggesting to reduce the bus's load or drive more slowly to spare the tires. It was a well-intentioned suggestion rooted in Dalton's experience and desire to prevent further incidents.
Receiving a Large Sum of Money
Dalton extended his hand, expecting a customary handshake as a thank you for his roadside assistance. However, the feeling of paper sliding into his palm surprised him. It was not the warmth of gratitude he felt, but the cold, harsh reality of something far more complex being handed to him.
The sight of the man handing over a stack of cash caught Dalton off guard. The offer of money as compensation for his help was unexpected and unnecessary, leaving Dalton momentarily speechless in astonishment.
Buying his Silence
The money was a silent plea for silence, a bribe disguised as gratitude. Dalton understood the unspoken conditions: Forget the bus, the man, and any piqued curiosity. The weight of the money in his hand was a heavy reminder of the secret he was now a part of.
Dalton felt the gravity of the situation – the offer of money was not just a gesture of thanks but a bribe to secure his silence. Declining seemed risky, a decision that came with potential consequences he was not prepared for.
