Lexi stepped off the bus, feeling the fog instantly cling to her, as if closing in on her. She shuddered at the sensation and tried to look around. The man that had been nervously checking his watch was nowhere to be seen, she clenched her jaw in a vain attempt to stop her teeth from chattering. She didn't like this, not one bit.
Where was their driver? Why had he taken their keys? These questions whirled around her head as she hugged herself, rying to make sense of the situation she had found herself in.
The man came back, muttering under his breath, almost as if to himself, "We're in Silent Hill."
Lexi frowned, the name sounded familiar, somehow. She might have heard it in passing, as far as she was aware, she had never stepped foot into the town. She watched ash he got back onto the bus, returning moments later, unfolding what looked looked like a massive map. "Does anyone know this place at all?"
She shook her head before realizing that there was no point of it, from what she could see, everyone else was just as clueless as she was. So her confirming that she knew about as much about the town as everyone else wouldn't be helping anyone at all.
Another man stepped forth to help the guy with the map, the sheer size of it made Lexi's eyes bug out slightly, "As far as I know, I've never been here before. I didn't even know this place existed. Let's look around. The driver is probably close by."
She stepped forth to look at the map, frowning at it, looking up as the woman with short hair, the one that had cussed earlier spoke up, "Wherever he is, I'm going to get his ass fired for not at least telling us what he was doing. And not leaving the keys. Silent Hill sounds like some sort of creepy town with hillbillies and weirdos. Lovely place to ditch an entire bus of people..."
She stepped closer to look at the map before pointing at a road, "I'm assuming we want to take this then? There also seems to be some sort of trail here.Maybe mister bus driver wanted to take a detour?"
Lexi nodded as the other man spoke, suggesting they split up into teams to search for the driver, "And if that fails we could meet back here in say, half an hour and see if there's someone in town who'll let us use their phone?"
