Moments after the last 4-hour trip
"WE IN KHAO SAN NOW! OUT! OUT!"
Despite of the driver's rudeness, and so early in the morning, the passengers managed to get off the bus quickly and orderly. Joanne and Sally couldn't help but raise their eyebrows at the man's behavior. Still wearing me-want-more-sleep eyes, the two friends pulled their bags and guitar from the overhead compartment and underneath their chairs. René, who was still on his seat, asked "so, how are you going home?" Joanne was busy with her bag so Sally was the one who replied "oh, by taxi". Then he said, "ok, I'm going down now", and Joanne gave him a nod.
Upon getting off, Joanne and Sally headed for the taxi. René stood a few feet directly infront of the bus exit, eyeing the two. Joanne's steps were unusually wide, while Sally tried to catch up from behind her. A few minutes later, Joanne realized what was happening so she started to walk back towards the spot where René was. Halfway through, she saw René, already busy talking with other travelers. She never made it. She only meant to hand out her card. She found herself walking back to where she came from. Lost in trance, she hailed a taxi and got in with her friend.
It's still a mystery what went on there, but it has certainly led her to this unimaginable search.
