The six of them were exhausted after running for an hour. The Storm was way out of sight. In the distance, they heard a blaring whistle of a train. "Come on! Let's go before we miss it!" Jackson leads the group to the source of the whistle. They all sighed a big one and followed him. Jackson hops into one of the train cars followed by the others. It was full of people. They had big cigars, hats covering their eyes, and they were reading newspapers. Jackson nervously slithered through the aisles. Jamie hits his foot on one of the passenger's feet. They look at him with their icy cold eyes. "S-Sorry!" Jamie said louder than he wanted to. The whole car looked at him. The train began moving and everyone standing up wobbled around.
Jennifer dragged him to the next car, "Are you kidding me? You're so loud, Jamie!" Jamie rubbed his arm. "Leave the kid alone," One of the gentlemen in the current car got up and fixed his hat, and towered over the two, "Boys!" The man hollered for the others. Jackson looks back at the others to make sure they're keeping up with him. Olivia and Justin are in the other cart while Jennifer and Jamie are being held back by the gentlemen. Who right now, are not being very gentle. Jackson shattered the glass with his wrench to gather their attention. They all turned their heads to him. He flings his wrench at one of the men's heads and their head flies back and they hit the ground, unconscious.
The tracks rumble below the train. Jackson takes a swing at another guy. He looks back at the two in the other cart. Justin steps in, rifle in hand, and takes a shot at one. Blood rushes out of the man's head onto the floor which to he falls. During all of the action, Olivia peeks out of the window to see they're close to the next district, The Middle-Class Clockers, as the map above says. Ahead of the train, Olivia sees a man holding something in the shape of a stick. She turns around to tell them they're approaching their stop, an explosion sounds, knocking the front cars of the train over, bring the train to a tumbling stop.
