Glass

Trapped

Dennis, Casey and Emma had traveled in silence the whole way up, the tension was thick with apprehension of not knowing what they would face when they went in there. Emma had come fully prepared with some sort of  body armor, it was a sleek black and was very flexible, she had explained that she had "forgotten" to give it back to the FBI after she was discharged but it would offer her protection from most knives and firearms which was the reason for bringing it along with her.

"Besides if I'm gonna go down I want to make sure I look like a bad-ass when I do" Emma had joked before getting a stern look from both Dennis and Casey "Not the right time?...huh aren't you guys fun company" Emma had smirked before driving off.

Now they were nearing their destination Dennis in particular was becoming noticeably more agitated, Casey placed a hand on top of his which was shaking, he smiled weakly grateful for the comfort she was offering him 

"Emma?" Casey asked

"Mmm" Emma hummed 

"Do we actually have a plan?" 

"Umm....no not really" she replied parking her car outside the entrance to the railway station

"What do you mean you don't have a plan?" Dennis asked

"Look I'm not gonna lie...I don't even know what we're gonna be up against, there I said it...I could have come up with any number of plans, scenarios and options but it wouldn't change the most obvious fact that we still don't know what to expect" she explained

"So we're going in there with practically nothing" Casey answered

"Nah I wouldn't say that" Emma said confidently 

"So what are we going in with then?" 

"Hope, Casey we're going in with hope and from experience I can honestly say that that is worth any type of army Stevens might have in there" she replied before adding "you ready?" 

"God no, but I'm ready to make Stevens pay, so that's a start" Dennis answered making Emma chuckle as she got out of the car.

"This is insane" Casey exclaimed, Dennis turned to face her

"Yeah it's not how I pictured spending my day either" he responded and Casey let out a weak laugh at that

"Oh really and how else would you rather spend your day than hmm?" she asked teasingly 

"Well if we make it through this I'd really like to show you" Dennis smirked at her dumbfounded expression before kissing her chastely on the lips 

"Well we better make it out of this then" she whispered making Dennis chuckle before there was a knock on the door 

"Hey lovebirds you can kiss when the fighting's over..get out of the bloody car" Emma yelled completely ruining the moment

"One day I'm going to make you regret every time you've done that" Dennis warned Emma

"Ha, ha, oh I don't doubt that" Emma smirked as she loaded one of her pistols before walking towards the entrance "Okay...so once we step into this place, I have no idea what we'll be dealing with and we may not make it back, I just want to tell you guys that I am truly thankful that I met you...you've made me feel the happiest I've felt in a long time" she smiled at them which they gladly returned before she shook her head "Right enough of this soppy crap time to kick some ass" she said deeply before spinning on her heels and entering the old railway station.

There was always something eerie about this place, all the old trains had been abandoned and were falling apart which added to the already spooky effect of the place. Emma had stopped and was suddenly drawn to a certain train on the end track.

"Hey" she whispered to get Dennis's attention pointing to the train "I don't know why but I feel like we should check that one out.. I feel kinda drawn to it for some reason" she said 

"Okay we'll go check it out" Dennis whispered back 

Emma nodded before turning around and walking towards the train, taking her pistol out as she did until she got as close to the door as she could and crouched on the floor.

"So what's the plan?" Dennis asked crouching down next to her

"Umm, I go in first then you next, Casey you can stand guard out here in case something happens, how's that?" She asked 

"It's as good as anything I suppose" Dennis replied nodding his head 

"Yes...my sentiments exactly, here you might need this" she said handing him another pistol "In case of an emergency" Emma explained noticing his reluctance at taking the gun, which he nodded to before taking the gun "You ready?" she asked 

"After you" Dennis answered, Emma grinned at that before stepping inside the old train, Dennis waited a few seconds before stepping inside as well.

Dennis had to physically control the urge to start cleaning, the train was so dusty it made it hard to breath without it tickling your nose, the floor was not much better and all the seats were worn out and falling apart, in short this was Dennis's worse nightmare.

"Are you sure this is the right train?" he asked Emma doubtfully

"I dunno yet, I just felt drawn to it...maybe we should spread out check the rest of the train out, you go until you reach the back, I'll go to the front meet her in five minutes yeah" Emma suggested

"Yeah okay and if we don't find anything we get out of here" he answered as they both turned and started walking towards either end, as soon as Dennis reached his end of the carriage, there was a loud creak and suddenly the door on his side slammed shut trapping them both on opposite sides, they both ran towards the door trying to get it to open but it wouldn't budge, Emma hit the door out of frustration and was about to speak to him until she heard a voice behind her.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to show up at last" Stevens deep voice came from behind her, she turned to face him and saw him holding Casey at gun point "Now let's not try anything rash here Emma...we wouldn't want anything to happen to poor Casey now would we?" he asked, Dennis was growling in anger as he slammed his whole body against the door, yelling Casey's name.

"Neither do you Stevens, because if anything happens to her, if I don't get to you first he definitely will" Emma responded

"Oh don't worry he'll have bigger things to worry about" Stevens reassured as he gestured for Emma to turn around and watch.

On the opposite side of the door Dennis watched helplessly as Stevens held Casey hostage at gun point. All of a sudden the lights came to life, momentarily blinding him until his eyes adjusted to the light revealing David Dunn at the other end of the carriage.

"David?" he asked

"Dennis...what the hell is going on in here?" David stammered looking just as confused 

Before he could answer a small television came to life and Elijah Price's face appeared on the screen, giving everyone on board a sense of dread as he opened his mouth to speak, Dennis realized they had fallen into a trap with no chance of escape.
