Emma's PoV:

I woke up to the sound of a train whistle a couple yards behind the clock tower. I yawned and got myself out of the bed, slowly. I then put on some clothes and climbed down the ladder to the main room. The only ones awake were Bentley and Carmelita. Carmelita was reading a book and Bentley was, of course, on his computer. I walked in there slowly and grabbed a croissant that was in the food bag. I then spoke,"Good morning guys, what's the plan for today?" Bentley turned to me and spoke," We are gonna try and stop Toothpick today. Key word being try. His train of gold is set to start coming around 1pm so we have until then."

I groaned. Carmelita turned to me and put her hand on my shoulder,"Don't worry, Emma. You and I are going to work together on this one." I looked at her and made a sigh of relief. I then spoke,"Thanks Carmelita." Bentley then spoke again,"Yea, you, I, and Carmelita are going to be together taking down the security grids, so you don't have to worry about dealing with Toothpick, that's gonna be Sly's job." Thank god. I don't think I could have handled being in front of that greedy shithead. I smiled at Carmelita and spoke,"Thanks for teaming up with me. I feel a bit better now about doing this mission with you by my side." Carmelita nodded and smiled at me. Sly, Murray, and Tennesee then walked into the room. Sly looked at Carmelita. Carmelita's smiled faded and she ignored Sly's gaze. She then talked to Bentley,"Well then now that everyone is up, shall we go through the plan again?" Bentley nodded and spoke," Alright everyone. Today we are going to, hopefully, take down Toothpick and take back the gold he stole. Tennessee and Sly, you guys are going to deal with Toothpick and defeating him. Murray, you are going to go onto the last train cart and unlock the van. You are gonna drive the van besides the train and keep close to us all so that we can go to you when we are done. Finally, Carmelita, Emma, and I will deal with the security and defeating the guards that are guarding the gold cart. Now if we all do what we are supposed to do, we should succeed. Does everyone know what they have to do?" We all nodded.

Me and Carmelita pushed Bentley off the bridge to the train platform. Bentley then went to work hacking into the security system to disable the lazer grids and activating the train whistles. Carmelita shot at the guards with her pistol gun. I was close behind her making sure she was protected at all times. One of the guards, however, shot when Carmelita wasn't looking. Seeing this, I panicked and threw a dagger straight into his chest. I looked at Carmelita who was standing besides me, breathing heavily. I spoke to her,"Are you alright? I was so worried you were gonna get hurt." Carmelita then looked at me and replied,"I'm fine, thanks to you. If it weren't for your keen observation skills I would have been seriously injured. I think I took care of most of the guards. Now all we need to do is wait for Bentley's signal." And as if on cue, Bentley showed up. Bentley then spoke," Alright you two, I have successfully hacked into the system so I have full control over the train whistles and security instruments. Which means we all can now safely pass through to the next carts." Me and Carmelita nodded. All of a sudden we heard the van horn besides us and saw Murray in the van. Murray shouted,"Anybody need a ride?" The three of us then jumped into the van as we sped towards the front and took the gold back.

Tennessee walked up to Toothpick and yelled,"Why don't you get your ass down here and take your whoopin like a MAN sheriff??" Toothpick turned towards Tennessee with absolute rage and shouted,"TENNESSEE KID COOPER! I am going to lock you in the deepest, darkest, coldest cell in the prison and I am going to throw away the key!" Tennessee then spoke again,"Give it up Toothpick! The fat lady has sung and you are done!" Toothpick then replied,"Am I?" Then all of a sudden some guards came up and held Tennessee in place as Toothpick grabbed his gun from him. Tennessee shouted,"NO! My gun!" Toothpick then laughed,"Thanks Kid! Le Paradox sends his regards! Now all I need is that girl back and I will have everything I need! Adios idiot!" I suddenly got very anxious at the mention of me. Carmelita put her hand on my shoulder though, to reassure me. I was starting to really like it to be honest. I have never had someone understand me and support me so well ever in my life. I was so happy that I met her.

Tennessee sat on the ground dazed. Sly then came up besides him and spoke," Relax, pal. I'll take care of this. Your cane will be back in your hands in no time." Sly then jumped towards Toothpick.

After Toothpick was defeated, Tennessee jumped off the train with his burnt self in hand. I then looked into the distance and spoke,"Hey, guys? Why is there no track there? Is that supposed to be there?" Bentley then looked up and panickingly spoke,"NO! We got to get out of here now!" Bentley then spoke to Sly,"Sly we got a real problem!" Sly chuckled,"I think I just took care of that Benny." Bentley then replied," No! Sly it's the train- it's heading for a broken bridge!" Sly then looked in front of him. He then spoke,"I'm guessing that wasn't part of the plan?" Bentley replied,"Sly you need to GET off that train! Jump into the van!" Sly then jumped onto the rooftop of the van. Bentley then shouted,"MURRAY HIT THE BRAKES!" Murray tried to press on the brakes multiple times but to no avail. Me and Carmelita looked at each other with worried expressions on our faces. Murray then yelled,"THEY AREN'T WORKING AND I CANT SHUT DOWN THE ROCKETS!" Carmelita looked at me and saw my nervous expression. She held my hand. She then spoke angrily to Murray,"WHAT?! YOU FUCKING IDIOTS! YOU CALL THIS A PLAN?! ugh I knew this was a bad idea, I knew I should have had you take me straight back to Paris! I can't believe it is going to END like this!" Sly cried out,"BENTLEY?! NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR ONE OF YOUR IDEAS!" Bentley then spoke," Sorry Murray, this has to do for now!" Murray looked in the back seat and saw Bentley throwing his ancient necklace into the time machine. Murray yelled," Hey! That's my necklace! COME ON!" Bentley yelled," Here goes nothin!" Suddenly the van went off the cliff and we all screamed.
