Chapter 11 - Train Ride

The wind makes the loose strands of hair out of (Y/N)'s ponytail fly about. She begins to move along the side of the train, entering the first carriage and Nate joins her. ''They must have Chloe in the front car.''

''Why are we risking our lives for hers?'' (Y/N) questions, going out and climbing along the yellow pipes.

''We can't let Lazarevic find out what she's done, you know what he's capable of.'' Nate reminds her and they walk across the platform. The train crosses the bridge and over the shimmering water; the scene is phenomenal.

''I wish this was under different circumstances.'' She sighs and he goes in front, jumping over the gap and climbing the ladder. She follows him up to see him silently stealth a mercenary.

They run across the roof on the carriage and jump down onto the next one holding crates. There's a few men positioned ahead and they take them out quickly.

''Sorry boys, just needed to punch your tickets.'' Nate jokes and (Y/N) chuckles, shaking her head and they move down through the carriage: him ahead.

As (Y/N) walks past a window, a man jumps through it and tackles her to the wall. Nate is quick to get him off and knock him out.

''You alright?'' He asks and she nods. "Yeah, that was nothing.'' She states.

Nate nods, climbing out of the window and around the carriage. (Y/N) follows him and they run across the platform, the blue water on the right. A set of traffic lights emerges in the distance when they're walking across.

''Nate!'' (Y/N) warns and she drops down and grabs hold of the side of the train. He is quick to follow and the lights passes over. Continuing on, the pairing slow on the platform carrying a tank.

Using the yellow pipes running along, they avoid the lights on the side of the track and keep going, dropping down onto the platform and climbing up a ladder. They both jump at the same time and the fragile roof collapses, sending them falling down into the train car. A sound whirs up ahead and (Y/N) groans and Nate stands.

''Oh, shit. What's that noise?'' He asks, looking up to the sky to see a chopper appear above them. He helps his companion up and the chopper disappears to the side and fires missiles to the train car, causing it to explode and start burning.

''(Y/N) we gotta get off this thing!'' Nate yells, grabbing her hand and pulling her up the crates. They jump across to the next traincar and the helicopter fires more missiles at the car they were just in.

The train car explodes behind them and decouples from theirs as Nate shields her.

''Come on, we gotta move.'' (Y/N) states as the helicopter begins to shoot at them and they take off running. A few more goons appear and they take them out, climbing the ladder and avoiding the signals all whilst the helicopter shoots at them.

''Oh, I am so over this shit!'' Nate shouts and (Y/N) rolls her eyes, following him across the train cars.

''This is your fault, you just had to be the goddamn hero!'' She snaps, shooting at the men in front of them and avoiding the bullets from the helicopter.

''Just give it a rest already!'' He says. He picks up a rocket launcher and fires it at the helicopter and (Y/N) runs ahead, beginning to turn the red valve on the door. The helicopter fires a missile which makes the end of the cart burst into flames.

''Shit, come on.'' She pleads, turning it. She pulls on the door and slowly it opens, allowing her to go through and jump across. Nate follows, just as the train car explodes and decouples.

They are blown forward and Nate stumbles, falling over the edge and hanging on the side of the flatbed car. The train car behind them flips, spinning out of control, crashing through a wooden support.
