A police officer tries to stop the bus. Rodeo is driving and at first does not pull over because he has promised to take Coyote to Poplin Springs. When, at length, he stops, the police officer comes onto the bus and wants to know how many passengers Rodeo has. Rodeo responds he has two animals and five people. The officer only counts four people. At last, Val stands up and immediately begins apologizing. The police officer asks Rodeo if he knows it’s illegal to transport a minor across state lines and announces that Val’s parents reported her as missing two days before. Rodeo says that Val told him she was 19, but the police officer arrests Rodeo anyway. Rodeo apologizes to Coyote for not being able to complete the trip. The group is eight miles away from its destination. And the officer takes the keys to the bus.
