Part Five

"Right Dave all the kids are out and I'm going to come up with a paramedic to get the teacher out." Luka called above the noise of the area surrounding him as the last child scampered over to join her classmates.

"OK Luka. Did you here that Siobhan helps on it's way? You're going to be alright."

Siobhan could only whimper as the pain in her head flooded though her brain cells, she could only see blurs in front of her eyes and Dave's voice echoed through her ears.

Luka's head appeared at the window as he struggled with the backboard; he looked at Dave and examined the blood dripping from his head. Dave noticed the concern in his eyes his heart was lifted slightly, someone cares for me and someone wants to know I'm alright.

"Want a hand?" he grinned at Luka to reassure him but the look of worry remained.

"Your head it's bleeding. Sit down and let me examine you."

"Luka I'm fine really I just knock it on the way in."

"DAVE SIT NOW!!" Luka forced Dave into the sitting position and tilted his head up toward the light while the paramedics lifted Siobhan onto the spinal board.

"Is she OK? She hit her head pretty hard when the train moved."

"She'll be fine but just remember you hit your head too. Does anywhere else hurt?"

"Nah." Dave looked away as his ribs screamed in protest as he tried to stand. Why hadn't he noticed the pain before? Why did Luka stop him working so his body could have time to focus on the pain?

"Dave don't lie to me." Luka exclaimed seeing Dave grimace as the wave of pain went through his body.

"Well my ribs hurt a bit but I don't think they're crack or anything just bruised."

"Come on then lets get you to County the guys will want to hear all about the hero's big adventure."

Luka turned to leave with Dave trailing behind, he glanced from left to right surveying the carriage which could have taken so many lives. He was glad to be leaving, he would never forget the peering eyes from the dark but at least they all got out.

Dave watched as Luka climbed down the ladder, he turned and placed his foot on the first rung.

"Charlie Walker." A smal voice called from the dark abiss.

Daves head rocketed up, he had heard it, he was sure a childs voice, then he remembered Siobhan saying there were nineteen but only eighteen names called.

Oh no, no, no this cannot be happening.

Luka could only watch in horror as Dave clambered back up into the death trap.

"DAVE. What are you doing get down here. NOW"

"I heard a voice. I heard a voice Luka someone is still in there."

With that Dave disappeared back in to the carriage...............
