They ran to the bus stop and looked around.
Empty.
No lights. No bus.
Max pulled out his phone and checked the time.
“…Wait.”
Anna walked to the schedule board and used her phone light.
“Guys…” she said slowly.
“You should see this.”
Leo stepped closer.
“No way…”
Max read it again.
“The last bus… already left.”
For a second, nobody spoke.
“That can’t be right,” Max said.
“We couldn’t have missed it.”
Anna shook her head.
“We must have been too late.”
Leo sighed.
“We should have checked earlier.”
Rain kept falling.
Max looked down the empty road.
“So… what now?” Anna asked quietly.
Max took a deep breath.
“We could go back home…”
He paused.
“…but I don’t think we will.”
