Chapter 7 - Bullet Train 2

I arrived at the station but the train was gone. I pondered around for a bit thinking of where the train would be at this exact moment and where the best place would be for me to intercept it and find my way inside.

The train at this point in time would be doing the C routes which would be around 14 stops, and since the train is being hijacked it would be right to assume it isn't stoping so it would probably be nearing Lake forest since it's bee at least 13 minutes since the train started it's routes and about 11 mintues before it was deemed hijacked.

I get into my car quickly and speed through the road as I make my way near the railroad tracks. I parked my car as I got out and headed over there readying myself for the train's arrival. I stood on the tracks a little farther than where the train was going.

I get my grappling tools out. I have to be as precise as possible to get onto the train. I aim it toward where I think the window will be then I wait. Patiently I stayed in that position; this was the only chance I was going to get. After a long wait the train finally arrives. I fire my grappling tool into the window and enter the train.

"I guess I still got it." I said as I tried to collect myself. I around and note that the cart I'm in is empty. "The hijackers must be in the next cart." I thought to myself. The door to the next cart didn't have any windows on it for some reason, so I wasn't able to know exactly if the hijackers were in that room. To get a better understanding of the room I get out my heartbeat radar it scans through the door and presents me a red dot which represents the heartbeats of the people in there.

There were an abundance of red dots which meant that this was definitely the room. I thought that because there wasn't any noise that I could hear through the door there couldn't be anyone in that cart. I didn't stress over that fact for much and went into the next cart bracing myself for any traps or tricks the hijackers could be using. Traps spewed out from the ground but my boots trampled it crushing them.

"You're good." One of the hijackers said, his person was armed to the brim.

"Thanks." I replied. There were only two men that were armed in the room the people there were tied up and had tape covering their mouths.

Shots fired toward me and bellowed the room like firecrackers. I headed toward cover as I manevered away from the bullets. The shots stopped and everything grew slient again.

"You're the real deal." The hijacker chuckled.

Then I heard the sound of him running up toward me, and as soon I as I stepped out of my cover what looked like a shotgun barrel was aimed towarded my chest. However there was too much wrong with this scene. He was holding the shotgun barrel out with one hand like he wanted me to snatch it away from him he also had a gas mask on that I hadn't seen before hand.

"I see what you're trying to do." I said, "Good try but not good enough."

"Oh really." He replied.

He fired the tear gas gun and the grenade popped out of it, however my mask is gas proof so all I really have to do is make sure that none of the gas affects the civilians. I grabbed the grenade and threw it to the other cart as quickly as possible.

"You thought that was all I had." The hijacker said.

He stepped back and whipped two pistols before he could fire them, I kicked his chest then grabbed him by the shirt and removed his mask. Then I started punching him after a while I let him down toward the ground and placed my foot toward his chest planning to question him.

"Qasey kill them!" He yelled.

"I don't know about that big bro, are you sure?" Qasey replied.

"Qasey do it now." He firmly said.

I looked toward the other hijacker. It seemed He was really serious about doing this.

"WAIT!" I hollered. "What do you guys want?"

"We want you to surrender to us if you don't, my friend there will kill all those people."

"That's all the leverage you have? Well then go ahead be my guest let's get this party started." I jokingly bluffed.

"No, I don't think you'd like that." He said lightly, smiling.

I pressed down on his chest with my boot. He kept smiling.

"But if you insist. Qasey go ahead."

He was getting ready to place his finger on the trigger and the crowd of people tied to their chairs started screaming. The muffled noises sounded everywhere. From where I was there was nothing I could do to stop him. This was totally and utterly my loss.

I let my foot off of the hijacker and said, "That's enough I surrender."
