Really short chapter to day. :P Enjoy! I might post two to make up for it...
Tintin and Haddock barely caught the train. They had bought their tickets, then realised the train was moving. They had just enough time to jump onto the carriage, and the conductor opened the door for them to enter.
The train had been going for about an hour, and the Captain was dozing in his seat. Suddenly, the train jerked to a stop, and he jolted awake.
"What's going on?" he mumbled.
"The train stopped," Tintin answered.
"Why?"
"I'm not sure." They noticed all the passengers getting off the train. Tintin stopped one of the men.
"What's going on?" he asked.
"The line up ahead is broken," the man replied. "The driver barely stopped the train in time. Nothing we can do then go back to the nearest town, from where we came from." He continued off the train, and Tintin frowned.
"Come on, Captain," he said, gathering up his bag, and standing. "We're continuing on to Italy."
"You mean we have to walk?" the Captain groaned. Tintin laughed.
"Yes, we have to walk."
Please review! :D
