After a while, the train stopped at its final destination. Its automated doors opened, which was a sign for the Westerner that he had to get out. When he did, he faced with a group of four westerners. The eldest of them was the one to talk.
"Lewis." he said.
"Michael." the Westerner, Lewis, replied.
Lewis got out of the train. As he did, so did the train's conducter. He shouted something in Japanese, to which the youngest in the group (apart from Lewis) replied something back.
"How did it go?" Michael asked Lewis.
"Not easy." Lewis answered, "Either these guys are faster than bullets, or I hit him at least once but it didn't slow him down."
While they were talking, the remaining three entered the train.
"You should count yourself lucky." Michael continued, "Not many can make it out of this without being mortally wounded or dead."
Lewis looked more terrified at the sound of that: "Wow. I must have been lucky."
"You were indeed." that same person who spoke to the conductor got out of the train, "That ain't no bloodsucker. He's human."
Lewis looked aghast: "Wh... what? It can't be!"
"You can see for yourself." was the response, "You killed a man."
"No!" Lewis insisted, "I looked at his eyes. They were glowing red, like they always do when they get nervous!"
"Are you sure about that?" he continued on.
"He just didn't have enough time to transform, Luke." Michael explained, "That's all."
"How would you know?" the man, henceforth known as Luke, asked, "Were you there?"
"You weren't there to know I made a mistake!" Lewis snapped back.
"So you admit you screwed up." Luke said, to which Lewis didn't know what to say.
Luke turned to Michael: "All of the human race depends on us. Even if it was a bloodsucker like he claimed, since he didn't transform, this is the excuse Red Shield has been looking for not to take this rookie in."
"Hey!" Lewis interrupted, "Wasn't there a trail of bodies this guy left behind? If the trail stops, then it means I was right."
"Except that we won't know that until after a few days." Luke reminded him, "By then, our bosses would already have made their decission about you."
Lewis was almost at a loss for words: "Do you have a problem with me?"
"I just want to do what I'm paid for, and that's saving the human race." Luke replied.
"But with our usual opperative for this on her own assignment, it doesn't leave us with much choice." Michael told Luke, "I'm sure Red Shield will agree."
Lewis was about to say something, but before he could, he couldn't supress a yawn.
"You better return to your hotel and wait until you hear from us again." Michael suggested.
Lewis wanted to say something, but the more recent events had exhausted him too much to even think of the words to say, so he followed Michael's advice.
