Everyone looked at the two girls who are desperate to stay in the train and Jenny asked Samantha:"Sweetheart, tell granny what's got you so scared to go outside?"
"Monstas! ((Monsters!))",was Samanthas only reply, hoping that for once, adults listen to children.
Sadly, Lisa and Samantha didn't get taken seriously and Adrian said:"The station can't be more than,… what? A two-mile walk? Three, max. We might even get a phone signal before then."
"I'm in.",said Kate first, followed by Nina and then the rest of the passengers.
"We're not going with you.",said Lisa and Samantha together.
"Yes, you two are going with, even if we have to carry you.",said Adrian and Ged at the same time.
Lisa and Samantha tried their puppy dog eyes, but they didn't give in. Lisa and Samantha could only think how doomed they were if they were forced to go out of the train. They knew that they weren't fast enough to get on the train and would get killed before they could even scream. Until Joe stepped up and told them that they couldn't get out of the train. Lisa and Samantha got new hope, because they knew that Joe would talk about the safety protocol and began to nod their head about following the rules, for once.
"… clearly states: passengers must stay on the train and await assistance. Those are the rules. It isn't ridiculous. It's not. I will lose my job! Sir! You can't get out of there without any keys.",said Joe, but Lisa and Samantha didn't hear the beginning.
Adrian looked up and at Joe and asked:"And do you have some keys?"
"Yes.",answered Joe.
Lisa hit Joe on the leg and said:"Why didn't you lie and say no? Now, they bother you until you open the door!"
Adrian smirked and asked:"Would you kindly use them?"
"No.",said Joe and his tone said, that his decision is finale.
"Oh, come on!",pushed Adrian a little.
Joe shook his head and said:"No, Sir. I will lose my job. I can't open the door."
"Listen, we can follow the tracks and we will all stay together. I don't see there'll be a problem",compromised Adrian.
Joe was about to break, so Lisa said, in the hopes of saving everyone:"I won't walk the train tracks. I will walk through the forest with Sammy."
Adrian glared at Lisa and said:"You will do no such thing. I will carry you myself to keep yourself from walking off and getting yourself killed."
"Yeah, come on. It's stopped raining now and the kids are being carried. That way, they can't run away and everyone will stay together.",said the young man in the jacket.
"Please.",begged Jenny and Ellen broke Joes argument when she said:"Come on."
"Yeah! Get us killed!",shouted Lisa.
Nina held Lisa's mouth shut and Jenny asked Joe:"Well?"
Joe tried to argue weakly and said:"I can't leave the train with these pensioners and little children."
Jenny made an sound of shock while Ged stood up and said:"You just make sure you keep up, son. Come on."
Adrian saw that Joe wasn't really protesting anymore and said with a smirk:"Wouldn't you rather spend the night in your own bed? Huh?"
"If you dare to break on this argument, I will personally kill you.",threatened Lisa and Samantha agreed whole heartedly at that.
Kate wasn't so patient and ordered Joe:"Get your keys out."
"Please.",said Adrian as an afterthought.
Joe looked at Ellen and Ellen shrugged as if she wanted to say 'don't look at me, it's your choice to make' then, Joe turned around and answered:"*Sigh* OK, fine!"
"NO!",yelled Lisa and Samantha in despair.
Their only hope vanished into wishful thinking while they listened to Joe taking out the keys and searching for the right one. Samantha muttered a mantra of 'we'redoomedwe'redoomedwe'redoomedwe'redoomed' and didn't listen to anything that was said anymore. Joe could only mutter how he was going to lose his job for opening the door and for not following the protocol. Lisa yelled at him that he could just follow the safety protocol, but got silenced by Kate this time.
Lisa glared at Kate and bit her in her hand and said afterwards:"Ew! That tastes disgusting! Did you ever hear of washing your hands?"
"Don't you dare to begin again. We just got you to stop arguing with Joe.",said Adrian tiredly.
Lisa smirked and nudged Samantha and signed:Play tired when I whine.
Samantha smirked and nodded while waiting for the signal, not needing to wait long, because Lisa suddenly whined:"Bu' Sammy an' I a'e ti'ed! ((But Sammy and I are tired!))"
Lisa saw Joe crack and knew that he wouldn't open the door when Samantha yawned and would suggest a na- short sleep for Lisa and Samantha, only for Adrian to step in and say:"Don't worry, Joe. We'll carry them. That way, we won't be slowed down and they can go to sleep."
Lisa and Samantha glared at Adrian and thought together:"I hate you."
Everyone encouraged Joe to open the door and Joe did it. Joe didn't look really happy with how things went, but he didn't try to stop it either. Adrian and Kate took the opportunity to pick Lisa and Samantha up and waited for them to calm down. Samantha was the first to understand that with their bodies in this form, they weren't strong enough to fight their way out of it and gave up.
Lisa, however, still fought and cursed:"YOU BLOODY MAD! YOU'RE SENDING US TO OUR GRAVE! LET ME STAY HERE WITH SAMMY AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO SEND HELP ON THE WAY! HELL, JOE CAN STAY WITH ME AND ACCUSE YOUPEOPLE OF BLOODY HITTING HIM UNCONSCIOUS!"
Adrian sighed and said:"If you don't stop yelling now, I will punish you by throwing you four times in the air and catch you."
Lisa looked with a horrorstricken face and she said:"You wouldn't dare."
Adrian smirked but didn't comment on Lisa and Lisa stopped fighting, deciding that getting thrown in the air and being caught is not a good way when you have rotten luck and will most likely hit the ground after Adrian missed his catch. Suddenly, the door made some squeaking sounds and opened without resistance. Lisa and Samantha were as still as they could be and could only hope that they would survive.
Joe jumped out of the train and said:"Come on. Come on, then."
The young man with the jacked went first and asked:"OK?"
"Yes, fine, come on. Just keep straight down there. Down there.",was Joes answer and the young man with the jacket sprang out of the train.
Nina jumped without a warning and Lisa said:"I hope you broke something, That way, we could stay behind with you. Even if you're not good company."
Nina glared at Lisa and retoured:"If you break something, we would leave you behind and hope that the 'monsters' wouldn't eat you."
Lisa rolled her eyes but before she could say anything, Joe cut in and said, while shoving Nina in the right direction:"Keep this side of the… Wait up there, please."
Samantha got handed to Jenny and Joe asked Kate:"Want a hand? I'll hold your arm."
Kate jumped down and took Samantha from Jenny's arms and went to the other two passengers that jumped out of the train and Joe said:"Queue up there, please, madam."
"NO!",yelled Samantha and begun to try and crawl back into the train, but Kate was stronger than she looked and held Samantha without any difficulty.
Ellen asked Matthew something and Matthew said:"No, I'm first. OK, I'll go first."
The last sounded like encouragement to himself, but Lisa didn't say anything about it until Matthew said:"Bit of a drop, isn't it?"
"Yeah, it is if you're scared of a steppingstone!",muttered Lisa.
Adrian heard it and hit Lisa softly on her head while Ellen said to Matthew:"You'll be alright."
Matthew almost fell on his face when he fell out of the train and Joe muttered:"Perhaps you won't."
Lisa heard it and sniggered while she said:"OK, get faster!"
"Why the haste al of a sudden?",asked Adrian in his curiosity.
Lisa looked at him as if he was dumb and said:"Because Sammy is outside."
Adrian didn't give Lisa to someone else and jumped with Lisa in his arms out of the train. Lisa gave a sound of surprise when she saw the ground so far from her own body and held onto Adrian's suit as if it was her only lifeline. Adrian chuckled at that and told Lisa how she was getting set back inside if the until he had the other passengers out of the train and wanted to see her every second until he could take her back out of the train.
"OK.",said Lisa without giving a fight.
Adrian smiled, thinking Lisa gave up with fighting him, and went to help Jenny out of the train while Joe said:"OK… Careful."
"Alright?",asked Ellen to Ged, but got no response and Joe tried to guide Ged safely to the ground with:"There's a rail here. You've just got to get your foot on. Right… Oh~, OK."
"Thank you very much.",said Ged with true thankfulness.
