I meant that the children might have noticed the buses or drivers didn’t look like the usual buses or drivers.
But then the cabal would take care to get ordinary-looking buses and I suppose they would have gotten drivers who were sort of nondescript and not unusual looking, which probably wouldn’t be too hard to do.
So kids get on buses to take them home and are told the drivers are different but that is because they were let out early and the usual drivers are somewhere else.
But when I was a kid our buses had numbers so that you knew you had the right bus. If there was a different bus because the regular one had a breakdown, the driver would put make a sign to put on the window.
So did the cabal get buses that looked like ordinary buses and make sure the same number was painted on them? Or did they commandeer the regular buses and drivers and tell the drives to take the kids to a shelter and then kill the drivers?
I’m just trying to figure out how I would do this. You have to think like a criminal to catch a criminal.
Who are the kids who survived? Were all of them walkers? Were any who took the bus from the same bus and no one who rode other buses among the survivors?
Was a kid who was home sick that day the lone survivor of their bus group?
I can’t answer rhetorical questions.
