Tales of the Train

Stealth

The girl looked just like your average school girl. Her hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head, not quite low enough to be a low ponytail but not nearly high enough to be a high one. Her fringe was divided into two parts, which lay neatly behind her ears. Her glasses were pressed against the top of her mask, as an attempt to keep them from fogging up. For once, her tactics were successful. The logo that lay on the pocket of her blazer was as neat and proud as the blazer itself. It, however, was a lie.
Contrary to her fellow passengers belief, the girl in the seat next to them was not a student. Maybe, if they had've been paying closer attention, it would've seemed obvious.
The key tag in the girl's hand was the first clue, as the lanyard that would usually hang around one's neck was from a very low profile tech company. It had been in the news recently for the concealment of information surrounding an attempted murder. On top of that, the girl wasn't wearing any earplugs. This alone gave away her false presence.
If this wasn't enough for those around her, her bag was a straight giveaway. At just a glance, it seemed like a normal school bag. However, it was not. First of all, the original brand's tag still lay on the front of the bag. The odd green colour which was not present on any of the school's logos was the next clue, as the bag was covered in it. Finally, the way the girl simply refused to move the bag made it quite obvious there was something in there that wasn't gym clothes and text books. Something was in that bag.
However, it was not going to become my mission to figure out what that was.
As our journey continued, the girl seemed to become more and more protective of her bag, and whatever was in it. Even when a woman sat down on the half of the seat the bag did not occupy, the girl didn't move it. It did look like quite an odd situation indeed.
When the girl lifted her hand off the key tag to hold her phone, it revealed a very interesting piece of information. Her name. It was written in neat letters at bottom of the card, underneath what I can only assume was a packet of information on the low profile tech company.
Melody.
And so, if you ever come across a girl with thick, brown hair and glasses who seems to be a school girl, but introduces herself as Melody, beware. The girl may have a backpack full of who knows what, and we don't want you getting involved it any of that. As fun as it seems to travel halfway across the world to deliver a simple package and get paid a ridiculous amount of money, prison seems far worse. As does getting shot.
"Now arriving at Ringwood Station"
So up the girl stood and off she went, along with the majority of passengers. Lord pray for their survival.
