Guns waved around, Charlie the busdriver cooly waited for help to arrive, children sat shrunk down and silently cried. Little Janie Ortswell peed her pants.

Chet was scared but he eased his way over to his sisters and made them get under the seats and told them to stay there. Then he slowly snuck his way up to the front to see if he could help Charlie.

But Charlie was sure he'd gotten through to the powers that be when he shut off the ignition and said, "shit, man. Who'd want a bus fulla kids."
