"Sahalia, listen to et help!" Sahalia was screeching

"Stop screa mad

Suddenly Josie pulled off her mask Then the ski mask she’d had over it

"I can’t understand you, Sahalia," Josie said "Cal on to Sahalia’s arms Kindly, but firmly That’s how Josie is

Then Sahalia took off her masks and fleece mask

The little boys started to yell I think they were saying so like, "No fair" They wanted to take their masks off, too

I knew Sahalia was type B, like me Type Bs suffered the least serious of the four effects--loss of sexual function

And Josie was type AB--so unless she got herus all of trying to kill her or so too slow!" Sahalia shouted

Her eyes were red fro mad, but I have noticed that Sahalia usually actsscared or even happy

Niko yelled so like, "What’s happening back there?"

He didn’t stop driving That was the right decision, given the circu, but if we didn’t keep et hi with the rest of us

"Brayden!" Josie said She snuffled a little "Can you hearand I saw it happen

Josie shook her head She looked like she had aaround her She shook her head and stumbled backward onto her heels

Josie put her hands up to her head and started laughing Laughingwith you?"

Then Josie lunged at Sahalia The two of the

Niko stopped the bus "What’s going on back there?" he yelled Niko caet her off Sahalia

Josie wasn’t AB She was O!

Why had I thought … why had I been certain she was AB?

She was type O and she was trying to kill Sahalia

"Get rope!" Niko yelled, but I couldn’t reood order Food was in with medical supplies and batteries were in with the tarps and I couldn’t find the rope

And all the while I was looking, the little boys were screa, and Niko was trying to drag Josie off Sahalia and I still couldn’t find the rope

Then I found it (Under the seat in front of the little boys)

I ripped the package open and I got the end free and by this time Josie had raked him across his face and his mask was pushed aside

"Your mask!" I shouted

Niko had Josie facedown in the aisle Her face was pressed onto the floor

He reached up and pushed the mask back over his face

Josie elbowed him in the side of the head and tried to throw him off her

I didn’t knohat to do with the rope so I just handed it to Niko

"TIE HER FEET!" he shouted

Josie kicked ot her feet tied up

Niko had one of her hands in his and her other was pinned under her

He jerked her hand out froether Now she couldn’t do so ed, she couldn’t get free

Niko didn’t have to tell es to find the pills and popped one out of its pouch and gave it to Niko

He sive him another I did A few moments later, she went still

Sahalia still had heron the floor between the second and third seats, crying

Niko went and helped her up

"I thought she was type B, likethat sounded like, "We didn’t know"

"I thought she was type AB," I said

"She said she knew her type," Niko told us "She was sure she was B"

How could we not have known for sure? I tried to reuess e’d all been exposed to the chehed and Sahalia leaned forward, concerned

There was blood on the inside of his air mask
