Chapter Four: Head Down
-----------------------------------
Carly's initial shriek was enough to wake Sam up and get a reaction from Freddie. The second one motivated Sam to leap at the attacker, pinning him to the seat before unleashing hell on his face. After a good 18 punches, the man fell limp, and Sam took a look at the unconscious body. Pinning no face, she checked his pockets. She pulled a small Swiss Army knife out , as well as a small amount of money. She opened the window, and struggled to lift the man by his arm.
"Urk.. Carly? A little help?"
"Oh, yeah. Sorry." Carly took the other arm, and they pushed the man about halfway when he finally regained consciousness. Kicking at them, he climbed back in. Sam drew the knife, and the man recognized it. Reaching, Sam stabbed the corkscrew into his hand, causing him to topple back into the window again. Carly and Sam worked together to finally finish pushing him out, and closed the window. Sam headed to the back to see what happened to him. Wiping off the window, she saw the back wheel of the bus had to have hit his head, as there wasn't much of it left. Returning to her seat, Carly thanked her, and looked at Freddie. "We gotten anywhere?"
"Not far, but nice hustle back there. You know, I guess I should have checked the bus, but that might've gotten me killed. Wait, I mean.. Er... whatever."
"Thanks." She returned to her seat, and saw Sam beginning to fall asleep again. Carly nudged her, and motioned her to sit next to her. "I don't want anything to happen again. Thanks though, again."
"Hey, we might have to go off the road a bit. I just saw a crowd of those... those... lowlifes. I'll try to cut arou-" He was cut off at the sound of a gunshot ringing out. Swerving, the bus shook and lurched a couple of times, and Freddie lost control of it. The bus swerved as Carly tried to keep her wits. Sam jumped up and tried to take control, but only knocked it further off course. Carly looked up and saw that the bus was currently on a collision course with a Post Office wall.
Author Note: Sorry this chapter is a little short. I made up for it with a double update. Once you see the next chapter, you will probably see why I wanted to start a new chapter for the events about to unfold. Also, has anyone noticed a little thing I got going on with the chapter names? If not, Google might be your friend. If anyone has an idea, post it in your review. If I include it, you'll probably see your name used in some relation or mentioning.
