Bus 174

Bus Driver: ticket please? 

Sandro: (pulls out gun) (whispers) one word and you’re dead 

Passengers on bus are impatient

Passenger 1: (annoyed) What’s taking so long?

Passenger 2: I don’t have time for this!

Sandro pulls the bus driver to his feet and declares that he is taking everyone on the bus hostage.

Passengers are terrified, some cry. Yet they stream this on their phones to raise awareness. Therefore, reporters and police officers arrive at the scene in no time.

Sandro: Yeah, tell everyone to come! I want an audience!

Police officer arrives

Police officer: (worried) what do you think your doing?

Sandro: (frantically) S-stay back! (Points gun) STAY AWAY FROM MY BUS!

Police officer: (calmly) what is it that you want? Why are you doing this?

Sandro: I want guns… rr-riffles. Lots of them. And you! (Points at driver) you

will drive us away once they get my things.

Police officer is speechless

Reporter: (to the police officer) Sir, what is going on here? Does he intend on

killing these people? What are the police doing about this?

Sandro: I’m not a killer. Meet my demands and no one gets hurt.

Police officer: Listen son, we can’t just give you weapons. Come outside-

Sandro: -Oh really? You have until six o’clock! (Grabs hostage and points gun

at her head) or I kill her!

Hostage 1: P-please… I didn’t d-do anything. P-please! (Starts crying)

Hostage 2: You lied! You said you wouldn’t do this!

Reporter is interviewing the police officer

Sandro: (quietly, only to hostages) I don’t want to kill anyone

Hostage 2: Then don’t!

Bus driver: Listen sir… leave the passengers…

Sandro releases the hostage from his grasp and turns around irritated.
