477 The White Lie

Bill leaned up against the school bus and dialed Anna's number. He remembered it because he had stolen Peace's phone before.

It took Anna a long while to answer the phone. She left the auditorium quietly through the side door. After pressing the answer button, she lowered her voice and asked, "Hello?

"The bus has a brake issue. Tell them to change buses."

The moment she heard it, Anna tensed up and became terrified. Before she could ask who that was, Bill hung up the phone. Her mind kept replaying the straightforward but shocking message. It wasn’t until a minute later that she called back immediately, only to find that she couldn't get through.

Just as Anna was about to return to the auditorium, she noticed the doors had been opened. And people rushed out of the jammed doorway. Immediately after that, Anna became alarmed and dashed toward the underground parking lot.

She instantly stopped in front of the bus owned by Birmingham High School. The last students were just getting on the bus at that point. Anna slammed the door shut and asked the driver to get out because she thought she had no time to explain to him what happened.

"What's the matter with this woman?" The driver asked, frowning as he slowly began the engine.

The driver had no choice but to stop, Tammy jumped out of the car as 476 The White Lie soon as the door opened.

"Brake!" Anna yanked the driver out of the driver's seat, panting.

The driver was startled after checking the brakes suspiciously. "Dear God!" he exclaimed. After coming back to his senses, he asked Anna, "How did you know there was a problem with the brakes?”

Anna didn't have time to explain, so she ignored him. She called the police first and hung up before saying, "I'll explain this to the police.”
