Jeepers Creepers 2[]
On their way back home from the state championships driving down an old dusky road, Betty allowed a truck approaching to pass ahead of the bus. She then began slowly picking up speed when the bus blew a tire.
After coming to a halt at the side of the road Betty and the two team coaches got off board to study the problem, it's then that Betty discovers that one of the tires has been blown to shreds. Upon further inspection she noticed that there is something sticking out of the shredded rubber. As she goes to grasp it, she cut herself in the hand and surprised how a small object is so sharp to rip a thick school bus tire.
"Flat Tire" Betty manages to cut her hand on the sharp star.
"OWWWW"
Everyone was off the bus while Betty is trying to reach assistance over the radio. The cheerleaders were smoking and got busted by Coach Charlie Hanna. After he orders them back on the bus and walks away, Betty comes out from the trees also smoking, implying she may have given them the cigarettes. After some time passes and with Betty unsuccessful with reaching radio contact, the coaches say it will be dark within the hour. With the bus being a six-wheeler and they still have the inner wheel to go on in the back, they can slowly progress along and limp home. After getting everyone back on board they continue into the night.
"Flap flap flap flap" The bus chugs down the endless highway into the night. The sound of the ripped rubber flapping along the asphalt.
After about an hour or so into the journey, cheerleader Minxie Hayes has a dream where she sees Darry and Billy alongside the road watching them pass as they frantically try to warn her of the Creeper; It's then that she spots the Creeper running through the field, visibly shocked she then realizes how the first tire blew out. She watches as he flings another one of his homemade stars straight into the inner tire.
The Creepers runs ahead of the bus and flings another projectile straight into the other tire.
When the Creeper throws another star into the only tire keeping the bus off the road, Betty struggles to keep it under control as it violently jolts back and forth on its rims. She manages to swing it off to the side of the road, but it sits at an angle, completely disabled and flat. Now completely disabled, she tells everyone that they will need to vacate the bus while the coaches set up flares while waiting for assistance. When a car pulls up in front, Coach Hanna flags it and asks them to get help. Betty tries the radio again but is unsuccessful once again. She goes to inspect the damage and looks stunned when she sees yet another projectile shuriken wedged in the inner tire just like the first one. She alerts the other coaches and is now concerned, especially realizing it is carved with a bellybutton (Darry's bellybutton). She starts suspecting that the tires were flattened deliberately and gets a bad feeling. She tells everyone to get back on the bus and to close the doors while Bucky should continue to radio for help. Coach Dwayne Barnes questions her sudden change of direction, she responds feeling afraid and she has a bad feeling. In the distance Coach Hanna is laying flares as Betty explains that they should sit inside the bus and wait for assistance but then Coach Hanna is lifted away. She reiterates to the kids to get back on the bus. She starts to panic now, acting wearily of her surroundings. She begins to lay flares on the road in front of the bus. As she gets further away, she becomes more vulnerable and by time the fourth flare is set, she is swiped away into the sky, never to be seen again.
It is not confirmed whether the Creeper killed her or any of the adults as when he lifted Betty away, he was back within minutes and most of the film concentrates on the Creeper targeting the teens, so he wouldn't have had time to do much with her. It has been suggested that he lifted her and the two coaches away to keep the teens vulnerable. However, with Scotty mentioning how the Creeper has not been back for over an hour after abducting the adults, it is likely that is when the Creeper killed them, including Betty.
