Ren rode like the wind on his trusty dark brown stallion, Comet. In a few moments he was able to catch the tail of the train. Satisfied that he got a good grip, he jumped on to the train in mid run and latched himself on the small ladder at the back. Comet rode away from the train knowing his master was no longer on his back.
Ren climbed up with ease and reached the roof. Once there, he ran along the length. He reached the first carriage of the train. Since it carried goods, there were no windows and the door was locked with the exception of a ventilator which was too small for anyone to fit, even a scrawny kid. He wasn't worried though. Reaching for the ventilators, and using them as foot holds he reached the lock and stuck something on it and retracted immediately. He didn't have to wait long as a blast shook the carriage.
Ren knew he didn't have too much time before the train stopped. He kicked the door completely now that it didn't have a lock. He went to a particular box among the many boxes of various sizes and wrenched the lid open. Inside was a medium sized pouch, he opened it briefly to confirm that the coins were there and wasting no time, he whistled, signaling for Comet to come close to the train. He had been running parallel to the train, albeit a bit slower than when Ren was riding.
The train had come to a stop by then, no doubt someone had seen him jump on the train or else the train would have taken much longer to stop. He had completed his task anyway and was about to escape when a shot grazed his left shoulder.
Hey, this is a new story… I just suddenly got inspired and here it is…. A one shot series with an old west theme
