The crew - after they knew what happened to their boss - did a "silent" meeting inside the ring; they were just sitting, never talking, as their boss was indeed dead. While Cat, was completely away from them: she went to her uncle's locker-room and closed the door. She sat behind a desk where Seb was hiding his papers and stuffs. She found an opened drawer, inside it there were some papers. She had the curiosity to read them. So she picked a closed envelope. She read the sender and she found it the train seller, Mr. Kingston. She opened the envelope and read it:
"Dear Mr. Smith,
How you've been? I'm William Kingston, your train's seller. I wanted just to remind you that the five years I gave you to finish me paying the million dollars are close to being over. So, you have only one month to pay me. Otherwise, I have to restore my train.
I'm sorry, but this is my train, and these are my money.
By the way, I watched one of your shows; I liked it a lot, and so the public. So I suppose you have money enough to pay me.
I'll be in my villa you've known 5 years ago. I'm waiting for you. Bye.
Yours,
W. Kingston"
Once she finished reading the letter, Catherine screamed and fell down. The crew heard her and ran toward the source of this scaring voice. And they found Cat crying, harder than before.
The latter gave the letter to Magnus, who read it loudly.
Rose: Oh my God...
Magnus: Sebastian didn't tell us that he didn't finish paying the train.
Angry: (the most pessimistic member of the crew) Now, we don't have to collect just one million dollars... We must collect two millions dollars. Yes! Things are going better!
Jasmine: Angry, stop that!
Rocky: What should we do?
The crew looked at Magnus - because he was the right-hand of Sebastian, so he became their "new" boss - waiting for a wise answer from him. However, he just sat next to Cat, laying to the desk, and he sobbed:
Magnus: Things are going worse... We may collect one million dollars in a month... but two? It's impossible...
He looked at Cat who was crying silently... She has never cried like that before... Next, Scottchand commanded:
Magnus: After few hours like the doctor said, we all go, with this letter, to Seb. Ok? Prepare yourself...
