Later at Tidmoth sheds...
Peter saw the engines coming closer but he didn't see Olivia anywhere.
"Hey where's Olivia," Peter asked the group.
Olivia rolled up still as a switcher towards Peter.
"Woah now, I asked for Olivia Dunham, not Olivia the steam engine," said Peter.
"Peter I am Olivia Dunham," She replied.
Peter laughed but then looked into the engines eyes and saw that it was actualy Olivia.
"How... is that even.... you can't be serious..." stammered Peter
"Alright we are all here except for Emily, Diesel, Arry, Burt, and Diesel 10," interupted Mr. Conductor.
"Alright, we have a lead to where they may be but we need help to confirm that," said Lady, "Boco, Mavis, did you get radios instaled in your cabs?"
"Yes we did," They both replied.
"Excellent, can you flip through the channels on your radios to see what chanel they are using?" asked Lady.
Both Boco and Mavis fliped through the channesl and reached chanel 10 and they heard Diesel 10's voice.
"Alright Now, We have both Miss american and miss greenie steamie here. Now where are the others?" asked Diesel 10
"I haven't seen them around, they may be looking around for the girl still," said Arry.
"He's probably right, they are probably looking for her," added Burt.
"I'm Not so sure," said Diesel, "I have a feeling they are on to us."
"Diesel Is right, The Blue puffball was at the crash scene I saw him their with the other steamie that I brought back here," oiled Diesel 10.
"For all we know he could be ready to strike with his steamie friends," oiled Diesel
"If thats the case we will send our demands to one of the Steamie Diesels with their radios," said Diesel 10
Both Boco and Mavis had thier crews directly send the radio conversation to the PA system in the yard.
"Attention Steamies and Diesels who consider themselves friends with them, We have a proposal to make to you," oiled Diesel 10 over the Radio.
Diesel 10 turned the radio on inside the cab where Ella was screaming.
"As you Can hear we have a young Girl in our care and it would be most unfortunate if she were to fall into a scrap bucket headed for the furnace, We also have Another Guest," continued Diesel 10.
Diesel 10 put Emily's Screaming on the radio of Arry and Burt biffing her back and forth between them.
"We have a steamie here and it would also be quite unfortunate for her to take a swim in molten iron, We know Lady is out there, send her to us and these two will walk away unharmed, You have untill 3:00 to show up with her or these two are history," growled Diesel 10.
The Radio then changed to static.
"Now what are we going to do," Asked Thomas.
Both Olivia and Peter were discusing different ways of going about rescuing Ella and Emily.
"Unfortunatly we don't have enough people to conduct a raid, and when I mean people I mean Humans," weeshed Olivia, "In speaking of which could I go back to my normal form?"
"You could have changed back at the very begining," Laughed Lady.
Olivia thought about walking and doing human things and suddenly gold dust swirled around her again. After the dust settled she was human again.
"I don't think I'll ever get used to that," said Olivia to herself.
"Toby, Percy, Thomas, Rosie, Donnald, Douglas, Mavis, Duck, Oliver, Salty, Bill, Ben, Arthur, Molly, Daisy, Henry, Stanley, Murdoch, Harvey, Edward, Gordon, Boco, and James, Please come forward," said Lady.
The engines moved forward, Lady blew her Whistle and the 23 engines were surounded by Gold dust. When the dust cleared there were 19 boys, and 2 girls.
"I would think this would be enough to help with a raid," said Lady.
"Alright, Paul and Hank, we need you two to put your differences aside at this time, it is extremely important that you do so," said Lady.
"We will Do our best" They said.
"Alright, I will turn it over to Olivia and Peter," said Lady.
Olivia and Peter Stepped forward.
"First off, We should know where they are," said Peter.
"Then we should know where the best spots to go in there are," added Olivia.
"I beleive I can take care of that," said Mr. Conductor.
He blew his whistle and a in the stone bellow a small model was constructed. Olivia pulled a stick from a near by tree down to use as a pointer.
"Ive done a few raides for the FBI in industrial areas, usually they have the captives in a spot where they can easily be killed if the situation is bad for them," said Olivia grimmly.
"That would probably above the casting pit," said Lady pointing to a specific area on the model.
"Alright we will need a distraction to keep them busy," Said Peter.
"Leave that to me," Said Lady.
Everyone looked at her.
"What, if he is after me, I am technicaly going to be the most obvious destraction," Said Lady.
"And also the worst if you get caught," added Olivia.
"Olivia's Right, If Diesel 10 catches you he will have no reason to keep Ella and Emily alive and he can kill them then. We will need to come up with somthing else," Said Peter.
"I have an Idea," said Thomas.
Everyone listened to Thomas' plan, and they agreed that it would be a good course of action.
"Alright everyone onto Hank and Paul, we have 30 minuets untill the deadline," said Olivia.
Meanwhile in a nearby church steeple...
"The course of events has been repaired," September said.
"Excellent, now it is up to them to follow through." said a voice in the shadows.
"Are you sure their course of action will be sufficiant enough to provide the resulting events?" questioned September.
"Knowing what Bell and Walter have told me about Olivia Dunham they will be more than cappable of achieving their objective," the voice replied.
"I just don't understand how you know these things as I do," said September.
A hand extended from the darkness it had a pair of old glasses. September put the glasses on.
"I see nothing different," said September as he removed the glasses.
"That is because these provide the sight that you and your other associates have," replied the voice as the hand took the glasses back. "But it is up to them to make thier own decions, we simply provided one jump to provide proof of who was truthfully behind the abductions, nothing more, nothing less."
"Things are going to get much harder for her," replied September.
"Regardless we must be off, the entire reason you are here is to observe the events that have yet to unfold," said the voice.
"How are we to get there in time though," Asked September.
"You of all people should know the answer to that," the voice replied.
Sepetember walked into the shadows and seconds later a clergyman turned on a light revealing no one to be there.
"Hmmm," thought the Cleargyman to himself, "I could have sworn I heard someone up here."
Meanwhile at the smelters...
Diesel Scurried inside the smellters shed.
"Lady is Deffinetly on the Island, I went back to the crash site and no sign of the two american steamies there aside from the ground where they were," oiled Diesel.
Diesel 10 looked at a clock on the wall.
"They have 20 minuets boys, or else the two are done for, but if they do show we will scrap the two and the Golden Puff Ball." Laughed Diesel 10 evily.
Little did any of them know, there were others in the building, August watched from a crain operater's cab. December watched from a vantage point on top of one of the blast furnaces along with July. September Watched from the Operaters booth in the plant, a faint red glow of a cigar burning was also inside the booth. And so everyone waited for the events to unfold.
