A bus driver rushing to a city on a stormy evening rescues a little girl who tells him her mom is unconscious a mile away. Little does he know how soon his kindness will come back to him.
Amidst the frigid gusts accompanying the heavy snowfall and thick layers of ice on the road, David was rushing to get to the city. He couldn’t believe that he’d been driving all the way there with the cracked windshield and had no idea how long it would take him.
But David had little choice. He was heading there for a job interview as he needed a second job to be able to afford a lawyer for his teenage son, Brian, who was innocent and a victim of a frame-up.

“Mommy and I,” she sniffed, “were coming home from Ganma’s house, and the car… it just crashed. Mommy is just so hurt, and I am so scared and so cold!”
“Jesus!” David took off his coat and placed it around the girl’s shoulders. “Can you take me to your mommy, sweetheart?” he asked. “I can call the ambulance and help her.”

The little girl nodded. “I think she’s that way…” she replied, pointing her finger away.
“I got my bus parked right here. Let’s get in there, honey. It’s freezing here! You can tell me the directions while I drive, alright?” he told her.
“Ok,” said the little girl with a nod.
