I flick a cigarette between my fingers and the ash falls to the ground. Jensen watches me from a bale of hay to the side of the moving freight train. He hates that I smoke, he says he can taste it when we kiss.

The train comes to a sudden stop and Jensen falls backward off the hay bale he was sitting on and I start laughing as if it was the funniest thing that has ever happened. Ever. He stands up and dusts himself of, now laughing himself. As soon as I start to gain my breathing back after almost dying i realize I lost my cig.

"goddAMNIT?" 

"What"  Jensen says now sitting back on the hay bale.

" I dropped my last cigarette laughing at your dumbass."

"Oh now you wont die of lung cancer."

"Yes Jensen, because 1 cigarette makes a difference."

"Actually if you smoke 1-4 cigarettes a day you have a significantly higher risk of lung cancer. Or at least that's what i remember before I dropped out to literally become a serial killer with a female Josh Dun"

I pick up a few pieces of dead grass that had come off of some of the hay bales and throw it towards Jensen but it never makes it to him because the wind catches it.

"Wait why'd we stop?" Jensen asks. I guess I was too busy with Him falling backwards and my cigarette to even notice we weren't moving.

"Shit I didn't even notice"

I jump off of the train and Jensen closely follows just in case the train starts moving when he's on it. I turn my head to the front of the train and I can't see anything. Just as I think there's nothing to see and turn around to climb back onto the train something catches my eye, a guy with a long beard and a camouflage hat walks from the very front of the train and looks directly at Jensen and I. 

"Shit... Shit,go go go" Jensen says as he takes notice of our presence and starts gaining speed. He's only about 40 feet away so it won't take him long to get here. I help Jensen climb up onto the train and once he's in he pulls me up. We run across and jump off the other side. There's some thick  forest less than 20 feet away from the tracks and we run towards it. First we have to run through some weeds almost as tall as us which is harder than it sounds. 

We hear a gun cock back and we stop dead in our tracks. Both of us know that sound more than we'd like.

"Stop right there!"

"Drop the bag!"

He has a southern accent- just as he looked. Last time I checked we were in Washington, I think?

"Drop to your knees."

Oh yeah I kind of forgot we were getting held at gunpoint.

Next thing I know I hear Jensen whimper and I snap my head to the side so fast I got a burning pain in my neck. 

"Are you putting handcuffs on me?! Who are you?!" 

"I'm a sheriff don't worry." 

I have an idea.

"Where are your credentials?"

I look at him with my hands still in the air and my knees getting wet because of the mud we were kneeling on. He must be hard of hearing or just dumb because hes giving me a puzzled look

"Where are your cred-"

"I HEARD YOU THE FIRST TIME GODDAMNIT!"

As he turns around and reaches into his "oh look I'm a professional" cop belt I grab a double bladed spring loaded pocketknife out of the side of my shoe, which I remind you is completely illegal for anyone to own in the state of Washington but what i'm about to is completely illegal... everywhere. I open the knife with Jensen watching, and pierce the knife into his leg. The scream he lets out was more of a holler, and with our kind of sense of humor it made us burst out in laughter.  As soon as the "cop" hit the ground, unable to move his right leg Jensen and I start laughing even harder. His enormous body just lying there with a knife in his calf muscle.

For the second time we were both out of breath from laughing so hard in less than a 20 minute time period. The man is still lying there, not unconscious or dead unless he had a heart attack which is a possibility but Jensen and I wanted to finish him off. Just to make sure he wouldn't decide to stand up and knock us both the fuck out, we take the handcuffs he put on one of Jensen's arms and unlock them, using the keys he put right next to us before he reached to grab his credentials (what a dumbass) and put them on him. Now we're ready to drag his body out of sight never to be seen again, or at least for a while.
