Damnit! The bus had stopped.
Cris uncurled from his seat all the way at the back of the bus and tucked his phone into his back pocket as he stood up to scan the road through the windshield, to see what was going on. He'd been on his way back to the lake house, on a bus out of town, when out of nowhere the driver stopped the bus and turned off the ignition.
Outside, it was a clear and sunny day. There was a small line of cars outside that had also stopped, and drivers had already begun to emerge from their vehicles, hoping to see what the obstruction was ahead.
Unable to see much from his current position, he let out a small noise of frustration. The bus driver was outside now too, peering ahead. Cris gently tapped the shoulder of the person in front and asked, in his broken English tinged heavily in a Spanish accent, "Excuse me. Why the bus has stopped?"
