I will follow you into the dark
Important: Samlastva is a fictional place! So are Cassandra (I don't know anything about Lee's family life or if he already has a niece…) and Kayle. And actually I do not own anything, except the idea to this story, which is based on a nightmare I had some time ago..'''

Prologue
It was still too early in the morning than that Mister Lee would be able to say that he had the full attention of the team. But that would still change.
He had called the teens from their beds and then ordered them into his office. It was an emergency, so he didn't care, that today was their day off and everybody had something better to do. „Sleeping" was probably on top of the list. Lee almost grinned as he looked at the sleepy faces. But there was no reason to be happy. There had to be something to happen, quickly. Before any more time was lost. "I am sorry that you had to come here so early", Janus Lee pushed his glasses to cope. "But this is a real emergency." The reaction to his words consisted of a general murmur. "This morning I received this. Just take a look at it." Lee pushed a small CD-ROM into the drive of his high-tech computer and on the giant screens, which were everywhere in space, began to flicker.
On each monitor appeared a blurred image. The pictures showed a train compartment, it once had been very pretty. But now, everything was broken. The window was battered, the upholstery tattered and everywhere laid shredded wood. Then appeared the face of a girl. Her light brown hair was bound to plaits, the green eyes trembling in fear. The cheeks, where few freckles were seen, had scratches and were reddened. This girl was afraid."Uncle Janus", she began to speak. Her voice trembled. "Please help me! Please, I beg you. Help me!" And then the transmission broke. After everybody had recovered from the shock, Lioness broke the silence: "You have a niece?" Lee sighed and turned his back on others: "Yes. Her name is Cassandra Lee." "She is really cute," Hawk said, stepped on a chair and then called heroic: "Do not worry princess! Your hero will come and rescue you!" Shark grinned: "Oh yes, will you?" And then the chair, Hawk was abusing
turned around and cast off the ego, which at high speed crashed into Lee's desk. Mister Lee went on: "She wanted to travel through Russia. With the train. From Moscow to Samlastva, a trip of two nights. The train arrived in Moscow just as planned, but not my niece. Everything I have from her is this CD-Rom. In the same train simultaneously transported a secret cargo and therefore it was nonstop monitored. But at midnight the train disappeared from the radar and appeared on it again three hours later. After that the trip went without further complications. The exact same train departs today from Moscow to Samlastva. And I want you to find out what is going on. Indeed, the rumors say that people often disappear during this trip. " The command was so explicit that the Alpha team was on a trip to Moscow a short time later.
