"Whatever it was that stopped us, it doesn't seem to work anymore."
This was such a simple statement, yet it came bearing the news that the woman we picked up simply couldn't believe.
'Just like that?' Her face seemed to scream, as she alternated her stare between the maglev's windows and my face, occasionally looking over to Fay and Claudy as if to check if they were laughing, to see whether I was trying to prank her or not.
Yet, neither Fay nor Claudy acted or made faces that would indicate any sort of foul or even silly play.
In the end, all she had to do was to look outside, right through the windows going all across the maglev, in the general direction our vehicle was going.
