A/N: Okay, for those of you who remember the 'cliffhanger' at the end of chapter 9, this is the continuing chapter. Still told from Mandie's POV.

Mandie's POV

…Ms. Karen slammed on the brakes. We all went tumbling forward out of our seats. "What the fuck do you think your doing, you piece of shit!" she screamed to the tractor-trailer that had run us off the road. We were currently stationary in a ditch. Bupp-bupp-bupp-bupp-bupp. The bus didn't start. Bupp-bupp-bupp-bupp-bupp-bupp-bupp-bupp-bup. Nothing. "Shit!" Karen screamed. The truck that had run us off the road was pulled over now. "Hey you! Who the fuck do you think you are! Huh?" she screamed at him. He jumped out of his cab. "Now missie, there ain't no need to be cussin' like that in fronna these kids." He told her. She calmed down a little bit, bur her face was still red with furry.

"You ran me off the road." She said in a very flat tone when he came over to us. We had all gotten out of the bus van thingy to protect Karen just in case this big guy decided she was pretty enough to take along with him. "I'm sorry. I ain't payin' two cents worth o' attention. Ya see, I just gotta call from the hospital, and they told me my daughter was dead." He told us. Karen's eyes welled with tears. "I…I'm so sorry. And I called you all of those horrible things. I didn't know." She hung her head. The man hugged her and whispered something in her ear. Her face lit up. "Really! You do! Gimmie some!" she yelled. He got back in his cab and came back out with a 12 pack of beer.

"Whoa, whoa Ms. Karen." Andy said. "You gotta drive us to the Underlook." I saw a look in her eye. Would she strand us here? Or would she refuse the beer?

A/N: Oooh! What will she do! Read the next chapter to find out!
