Abi and Anouk left in the rain that night to catch the train back to Newcastle.

"It's freezing" Anouk whined pulling her hood up and hugging herself.

"I know.. next time I vote we get a taxi" Abi muttered

They arrived at the train station and waited for 20 miniutes, but when the train finally appeared nobody was on it, yet it still opened the doors and the train checking board still said it was the right train and it was on time, they found it strange that there were only three carriges, the one in the middle --which was empty-- the one they were about to get in, and the drivers carrige.

"Strange" Anouk frowned stepping into the carrige.

"I don't think we shou -" Abi began to protest and Anouk yanked her onto the train. The doors slammed shut, startled and a little worried they sat down on many of the avaliable seats. The train didn't stop at any more platforms.

"Abi.. this is.. freaky" Anouk admitted biting her lower lip as the train passed the fifth station without stopping.

"Maybe we should check the other carriges?" Abi suggested.

"Abi, there are only two carriges and the other was empty" Anouk rolled her eyes.

Still, Abi ignored her and went to open the carrige door, she pulled at it, but it didn't open, she tried sliding it, she pushed it, she kicked it, she did everything she could untill she relised it was locked.

"Anouk.. we're locked in" she whispered looking at the floor, her hands trembling.

Anouk was staring out of the window, a large frown on her face, they had never taken this turn before, ever. She knew something was up.

Back at Sophie's they were all gathered around the television, watching the news.

'A train to Newcastle was hi-jacked earlier today, 30 miniutes ago two young girls boarded, police have tried to contact the transport but no signal has been found. It was said that this train was headed underground but as we all know, the trains haven't went underground for years, also no-one knows the where-abouts of these underground stations'

They all froze. A look of sheer horror crossed Dave's pale face. Sophie bit her lower lip and Claire burried her face in her hands

"Well?" Richard asked, getting to his feet "Lets go and find them"

20 miniutes later they were all at the train station, and had found tracks that lead in seperate directions.

"Claire and I will go left, you and Sophie take the right" Dave announced to Richard, heading off in his chosen direction. Richard and Sophie headed for the track, and soon had no clue where the track was leading, Sophie tripped over something and hit the ground.

"Owww" she complained.

Richard picked her up and inspected the tracks.

"It's the hidden tracks!" He exclaimed pointing to where Sophie fell. There wasn't much light but if you looked closely you could see a trapdoor that would lead a train underground.

"There has to be a leaver around here somewhere" Sophie muttered looking around, she stepped on something and the trapdoor creaked, and then swung open. The tracks connected to more tracks leading underground. Richard took her hand and continued down the tracks.

--

While the adults were TV watching Abi and Anouk soon realised they had been underground for over 10 miniutes. Abi was slumped on the floor shaking while Anouk paced up and down hitting herself on the head.

"Why could I have been so stupid!" she yelled, her voice echoing in the empty carrige "We shouldn't have gotten onto this train.. never!" Anouk banged her fist on the door irritated and then saw someone walking towards the door.

"Abi look!" She grinned, pulling her up, but her grin vanished when she saw the man's angry expression.

He entered the carrige, he was seething.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?" he raged walking closer to them as they backed away.

"We thought this was the train to Newcastle" Anouk began, but was cut off.

"THIS IS A GOODS TRAIN! WE TAKE STOLEN CARGO UNDERGROUND AND TO THE BLACK MARKET!" he yelled.

"Smugglers" Abi whispered.

"Well, since you obviously know what we are, you can stay here, I think they'll pay some good money for you two when we get to the market" the man replied airily walking towards the door

"That's called kidnapping" Anouk shouted at him.

"No, it's called idiot-napping" he snapped "You were stupid enough to get on the train, and now you'll pay the price" he left.

--

Richard soon noticed how clean the tracks were, he bent down and ran his fingers across them

"Oil" he announced "These tracks have just been used, the train can't be far away" Sophie looked at him and they continued on. Suddenly the trapdoor squeaked again and the rumble of a train could be heard.

"What the..? SOPHIE MOVE!" Richard yelled pushing her out of the way of the tracks, she pressed herself against the wall next to Richard as the train squealed to a halt beside them

"Need a ride?" Dave grinned waving at them through the front carrige. The doors swooshed open and Richard pulled Sophie inside.

"We found a train and when our route ended we decided to follow you" Claire explained "Then the trapdoor thing opened and well.. here we are, although, Mr.Ego over there thinks he's a teriffic train driver" She nodded at Dave who was pushing all of the buttons he could see, chortelling away to himself about how great he was and that how he hadn't crashed it like Claire would have done. Suddenly something buzzed, and a signal was found.

"Hello? Anyone on the other line? Red?" buzzed a voice, the frequency buzzed and gradually got better.

Dave pressed a return button "Err, yes this is Red, any information?" he asked giving a confused face to Claire, Richard and Sophie.

The voice was heard once again "We're nearing the black market with the goods, do not take the easternline, take the northen line, there's a cross take the straight one, do not let the train turn right. Anyways, it seems two young girls have boarded and we're planning to sell them, they should sell rather well.

Richard spoke after Dave hit the return button once again. "Uhm, brilliant plan but our train is having a lot of --he blew into the speaker-- technical difficulties --he blew again-- the trains rather slow and faulty this evening and we have some --again-- cargo in the back, could you meet us somewhere closer?"

"Okay, we'll stop the train before the crossing lines, just hop into the back carrige, the girls are there, make sure they don't escape." the voice replied. Then the signal cut off.

Sophie stood up, a brilliant plan was forming in her mind. "I know! We'll get into the train, and Richard and Dave can go up to the drivers carrige, either knock them out or push them out of the carrige. We can get the train out and go to the police".

"Brilliant!" Richard yelled, hugging her.

"Aha. The crossing lines!" Claire grinned, pointing to the window.

"IT WON'T STOP!" Dave yelled, pulling at the leaver again and again. They neared the back carrige to the other train.

--

Abi and Anouk were staring out of the window behind them as they spotted the headlights from the train behind them.

"What is THAT?" Anouk gasped, pointing out of the window.

"I don't know.. but it doesn't seem like it's going to stop..." Abi said, staring in horror as it came nearer.

Anouk yelled and dragged Abi to the front of the carrige, she tried to get the door open, but it was locked firmly. They hid under the seats at the front, scared stiff, as the train behind let out a whoosh of steam and whistled loudly, the breaks screeched and the girls shut thier eyes. There train jerked and became still again. Anouk opened her eyes knowing that she'd be smashed somewhere covered in blood, seats trashed and another train squishing her and Abi into the wall, but all she saw was the train in front. It had stopped in time.

"Abi..ABI" Anouk nudged the blonde next to her who was still hiding her face, terrified to so much as move.
