Regret gnawed at Dalton for inadvertently helping someone so reprehensible. The thought of aiding a criminal weighed heavily on him, a moment of naivety he could not easily forgive himself for.
Just Trying to Get Home
The drive home felt endless, with fatigue weighing heavily on Dalton. Every blink was a struggle to stay awake, the monotony of the road blending into a lullaby. The anticipation of a warm meal and the comfort of his bed were the only things driving him through the haze of exhaustion.
Thankfully, the roads were empty, a small mercy as Dalton's tiredness occasionally led to swerving. The emptiness of the highway meant his lapses in concentration posed no risk to others, a small consolation amid his growing unease.
A Car on the Road
In the dim evening light, something unusual caught Dalton's tired eyes - a car awkwardly positioned, encroaching into his lane. At first, he wondered if his tired mind was playing tricks on him, but the obstacle was all too real, an unexpected hurdle on his journey home.
As he approached the strangely parked vehicle, Dalton's initial disbelief was shattered by the immediate danger it posed. The realization jolted him awake, his drowsiness instantly replaced by the looming threat of an accident.

The man's swift and concerned approach offered a fleeting glimpse of humanity on the deserted roadside. His words of gratitude for Dalton's safety, sincere in the moment, later became a haunting reminder of the duplicity that lay beneath.
Dalton Decided to Help
Faced with the dilemma of the stranded bus, Dalton's desire to go straight home collided with his sense of responsibility. Leaving the bus in such a precarious position was not an option; the potential danger to other drivers weighed heavily on his decision to help.
Dalton's familiarity with the hazards of the highway informed his immediate recognition of the peril posed by the bus's precarious position. His assessment of the situation as a potential disaster was not just speculation but knowledge from experience.
Pulling the Bus off the Road
With the road still clear, Dalton carefully adjusted his car to assist the stranded vehicle. The absence of other road users was a small blessing, giving him the space and safety to address the situation without the added pressure of impatient drivers.
Taking the lead, Dalton instructed the man to put up a warning for incoming traffic as he prepared his truck for towing. It was a practical solution to a dangerous problem; Dalton's quick thinking aimed to prevent potential accidents.
The Man Behaved Strangely
The fear evident in the man's face was palpable, going beyond the usual anxiety one might feel in such situations. His agitation seemed rooted in something deeper, a personal turbulence that the roadside incident only exacerbated.
The man's fear was tangible, his actions betraying a deeply rooted panic. On a day that was not particularly warm, his sweat and visible distress painted the picture of a man under immense pressure.
The Bus Was Very Heavy
Dalton's experience with towing gave him a quiet confidence in handling vehicles of various sizes. The size of the bus, while significant, did not intimidate him; he was prepared for the task, familiar with the nuances of such roadside rescues.
As he connected his truck to the bus, Dalton noticed its unexpected heaviness, indicating that it might be overloaded. This observation added another layer of complexity to the situation, suggesting that there was more to the bus than met the eye.
Upset by Dalton's Inquiries
When Dalton asked about the bus's cargo, he noticed a shift in the man's demeanor. The question, intended to assess the situation, unintentionally exposed the man's underlying nervousness and cast a shadow of suspicion over the seemingly simple encounter.
The man's defensive reaction to Dalton mentioning the bus's weight was telling. Dalton's insistence was not out of curiosity but out of concern for safety; his observation hinted at the unusual load the bus was carrying.
Searching for a Spare Tire
The inquiry about a spare tire revealed another layer of unpreparedness; the man's uncertainty regarding such a basic emergency plan was a warning signal. Dalton's patience and willingness to help were put to the test as they navigated this unexpected obstacle together.
The man's secret actions, ensuring Dalton wasn't watching, hinted at something hidden in the bus. His deliberate attempt to keep Dalton away while retrieving the spare tire added a layer of mystery to the already tense situation.
Noting the License Plate
Dalton's decision to mentally note the vehicle's license plate was a precaution prompted by intuition. This small act of care, seemingly insignificant at the moment, would later prove to be a crucial puzzle piece in unraveling the evening's events.
Dalton could hear the man inside the bus, the sound of hurried movements indicating a desperate search. The delay in finding the spare tire dragged on, Dalton's patience waning as he simply wanted to conclude this unexpected roadside encounter.
Thanking Dalton
The wait for the spare tire was tense but brief. When the man finally produced the necessary wheel, Dalton sprang into action and efficiently secured it to the bus. This quick resolution was a testament to Dalton's skill and willingness to help despite the unfolding mystery surrounding the stranded vehicle.
Dalton offered the man practical advice, suggesting reducing the bus's payload or driving slower to preserve the tires. It was a well-meaning suggestion rooted in Dalton's experience and desire to prevent further incidents.
Receiving a Large Sum of Money
As Dalton reached out, expecting a customary handshake as thanks for his roadside assistance, the feeling of paper slipping into his palm surprised him. It wasn't the warmth of gratitude he felt but the cold, harsh reality of something far more complex being handed to him.
The sight of the man presenting a stack of cash took Dalton by surprise. The offer of money as compensation for his help was unexpected and unnecessary, leaving Dalton momentarily speechless in bafflement.
Buying His Silence
The money was a silent plea for silence, a bribe disguised as gratitude. Dalton understood the unspoken conditions: Forget about the bus, the man, and any curiosity sparked. The weight of the money in his hand was a heavy reminder of the secret he was now a part of.
Dalton felt the gravity of the situation – the offer of money was not just a gesture of thanks but a bribe to secure his silence. Declining seemed risky, a decision with potential consequences he was unprepared for.
The Missing License Plates
