*BANG BANG*

Every eye on the bus shot upwards to the sound of gunfire, including Ari who nervously veered the bus off the road for a second. Nobody else was driving into the heart of darkness anyway. They all had sense.

There was another round of gunfire from up above followed by another falling shadow. The bus lurched on. Roth stared out of the window in thoughtful silence. They were almost at their destination.
