As the door of the carriage closed with a thud, James's heart started beating like crazy. With each passing second, something new was happening. Now the soldiers who were standing outside had their weapons in hand & were scanning the surrounding for something or someone.
He tried to poke his head out of the window, but a soldier rushed to his side & forced him to stay inside. But during the brief moment his eyes were outside, he saw something of a very peculiar scene.
The soldiers whom Lucas introduced as his soldiers were now obstructing their way. They had nothing on their dress to identify, even as soldiers & were carrying weapons with a wide grin plastered on their faces.
And now everything made sense. It was not some special theory of relativity which would require hours of thinking & truck sized brain but was just a simple fact. From the very beginning of this return trip, everyone excluding him, were acting weird.
