Massive Dynamics Headquarters, 8:00 A.M...
An armored van pulled into the loading docks and out of it was pulled a breifcase.
"Is this the correct box?" Nina sharp asked the worker.
"Yes mam it is." the worker replied.
"Thank you" Nina said and walked off with the case to her office.
At her office, Walter, Peter, Olivia, and Rachel where waiting there, walter had brought his things with him and immediatly began to assemble the portal generator in her office and modified it with the Schmatic Dr. Bell had provided.
"I will stay back here to open the portal when needed," said Walter
Walter pulled out two stop watches and syncronized thier time.
"Peter, I will open the portal back up at six o'clock this evening, that will give you about 9 hours to search for her. I will keep the portal open for the maximum permited time of 10 minuets," Walter said .
"Thanks Walter, I'll make sure we will be there." Peter replied
Walter placed the power cell into the machine and its circuitry came online. He went to his computer and intiated the sequence for opening the portal.
"Everything is ready," said Walter.
"Beam us up Scotty," chuckled Peter.
Walter opened the portal and smell of the sea breeze came in to the room and the rising sun shown through the portal.
"Well at least it looks plesent," said Walter.
Peter and Olivia pulled out their pistols and went through the portal, it was agreed the previous night that Rachel must stay with Walter and not cross over.
Peter placed a stick in the ground infront of the portal, along with some rocks to mark where the portal would be. Olivia waved to her sister and her sister waved back, and then the portal closed.
"Where are we?" asked Peter.
"I have no Idea," replied Olivia.
"Hey is that a town over there?" asked Peter.
Peter pointed to some buildings in the distance.
"If their are people there then they have bound to have seen her," said Olivia
Peter and oliva walked the length of the beach and came to a sign that said "Welcome to Haultraugh"
"We're in england?!" said Oliva extremely confused
"Not quite," answered Peter, "I don't know of any british cities that my father mentioned named Haultraugh."
"Well then where are we?" asked Oliva.
"We should be asking where is Ella," Peter replied
Oliva saw a railyard and thought about Ella
"She may be over there, she does like trains I remember her books of Thomas the Tank engine," said Olivia.
"Its worth a shot," replied Peter.
The entered the yard but the troublesome trucks heard their discussion and decided to play a trick on the newcomers.
"PSSSSSSSSSSTTTT," whispered one of the trucks loudly.
Olivia and Peter spun around in the direction of the noise.
"PSSSSSSSSSSTTTT," whispered another truck loudly.
Both Olivia and Peter spun around with their guns drawn.
"I'll Go that way see if we can catch whose here," said Peter quietly.
"I'll go this way," replied Olivia.
Olivia walked forward and more and more trucks started to wisper to try and confuse her and it was working. Unfortunatly Thomas was entering the yard at the wrong place at the wrong time, Olivia had her back turned and bumped into thomas
"who put this engine here?" Olivia said to herself.
"I drove here," Replied a voice
Olivia lookd down one side of the engine and the other she even ran around to the back but saw noone.
"I could have sworn I heard some one." Olivia said to her self.
"You did, over here." Replied a voice.
"Alright who ever you are I have a gun show your self with your hands behind your head,"
Olivia said sternly.
"But I don't have hands or a head," replied the voice.
Olivia walked back to the front and looked around
"There you are," Whistled Thomas
Olivia turned and fell backwards onto the track from suprize, her gun that she was holding went off and shot thomas in the buffer.
"OUCH," cried Thomas, "That wasn't neccisary."
"Who... WHAT ARE YOU?!?" asked Olivia extremely shocked.
"I have feelings you know," replied Thomas Crossly.
And then it dawned on Olivia when she saw his profile
"Thomas?" she asked nerviously.
"Yes?" he replied.
"OLIVIA WHATS GOING ON," Peter yelled running to where oliva was after hearing the gunshot.
"I think I know where we are, but how this is possible I don't know," Laughed Olivia
"What are you talking ab... ,"started Peter but fell back in suprize after seeing Thomas.
"WHAT THE?!?!" gasped Peter
"Im Thomas, Welcome to the Island of Sodor!" Peeped Thomas cheerfuly.
Peters face turned from pure suprize to laughter.
"Well I'll be, this is where the portal lead to," Peter said to Olivia.
"Portal?" asked Thomas
"We're not from around here," replied Peter geting up and helping Olivia to her feet.
"Is your name Olivia?" asked Thomas.
"Yes it is, Olivia Dunham," She replied
"Well Ella will be happy to see you once we find her," Replied Thomas.
"What?!?" Both Peter and Olivia gasped.
"Ella appered around here about a day ago, she went with me to see Sir Thopham hat. She came back and I was assigned to help her look fo her aunt with Mr. Conductor. Unfortunatly she decided to play Hide and seek with us and the last time we saw her was around noon yesterday," Explained Thomas.
"Well we can help Look," said Peter
"PSSSSSSSSSSTTTT," whispered the trucks in the yard.
"Stowe it you rotten pieces of wood," said Thomas crossly.
"Who was that?" asked Olivia
"The troublesome Trucks, they like to play tricks on people and engines." replied Thomas.
"Thomas why do you have to ruin the fun?" Whined the trucks.
"Only you see it as fun, the rest of us see it as a nusance." replied Thomas.
"Well could you take us to Sir Thopham Hatt please?" Asked Olivia.
"Why certainly, I'm sure he will be pleased to learn that you have come to find Ella." peeped Thomas.
So Peter and Olivia climbed up into Thomas' cab and rolled away to Tidmoth. They didn't see that Diesel was lurking behind some trucks and a man with a suit and binoculars was watching from a hill top.
