The Imprisoned Ones, Part 6

The guard lizard and Lacertilia tumble to the back of the bus as Elevatô grabs on to a seat. He pulls himself forward and grabs the driver's shoulder. Elevatô yanks him out of the chair and tosses him out the open door.

The driver tumbles in the dirt, the bus passing him by, but slowing down. Tic, Tac, and Toe run by him as well, soon followed by hammer.

*POW* Lacertilia is hit in the head again by the guard lizard, but stays on top.

*BAMF BAMF* Another left-right combination lands on the broad snout of the guard, and Lacertilia picks him up by his uniform.

*WHAM* Lacertilia slams him against the back wall of the bus, and the emergency door is shaken loose.

*WHAM* Lacertilia slams him into the door, and it pops open. Lacertilia pushes the guard lizard out, and he tumbles head over heels in the dirt.

Tic, Tac, and Toe get inside, and Hammer grabs hold of the door frame. With help from the triplets, he finally gets in, and Elevatô pushes the engine to the max, getting the bus to accelerate to top speed.

"Are you sure we're heading for one of the cities?" Hammer asks.

Elevatô pulls out a map from the glove compartment.

"One of you be sure that we're heading for one of the cities."

The triplets take hold of the map, and turn it around so the cardinal directions line up.

"Head 15 degrees to our left," Toe says.

"There's a city only 20 miles away," Tac adds.

Elevatô turns the wheel, and the bus aims in the designated direction.

Within only twenty minutes, the stolen bus arrives at the city, and Elevatô slows the vehicle down.

"Do you think they'll notice this bus?" he asks.

"More importantly," Lacertilia says, "they recognizssse thessse prisson uniformsss."

"The five of us should duck down," Tic says.

"That way they won't see us," Toe adds.

"But they'll see Elevatô," Hammer points out. "And he's wearing a uniform."

"We'll just go fast," Tac says. "No one should pay any mind to a bus."

The six of them settle on that, and drive into the city.
