Chapter 4

The train Ride

The date June 21st, Lady Jaye boarded the train at Union Station in Washington D C, and went to look for a compartment to sit in. It looked like most of the compartments were already full, but she found one that there was a lot of seats towards the front of the train. She sat down in one of the seats.

Lady Jaye pulled out her e-reader and started to read from it. Not more then 5 minutes later another train passenger entered the room. The passenger sat across from her.

Cobra Commander entered his compartment that was supposed to be reserved for the Heads of Cobra. He noticed that someone else was sitting in a seat already, he can tell that the person was a female by the looks of her body.

He then pulled out his cell and called the Pennsylvania Hotel to check to see if everything was set for him and his guests. "Pennsylvania Hotel, how may we help you?"

"This is Cameron Abroc I am calling to check up on my reservation that I made." Cobra Commander said.

"May I have your reservation number?"

"Hold on for a minute. Let me get it out of my wallet."

Cameron pulled out his wallet and took out the piece of paper that had his reservation number on it. He said, "The reservation number is 876598."

The clerk at the desk pulled up the reservation number given and checked it. He looked at the screen and saw that it was already paid for. He got on the phone and said, "Everything seems to be in order, sir."

"Thanks, I heard that at that time someone else had made a reservation at that particular time. I was wondering if that reservation has been canceled."

"I just checked, and as of right now it has not been. Is there anything else that I can help you with at this time."

"No not at this time." Cameron hung up the phone just then.

He looked at the person reading and said to himself, "She looks so familiar."

Lady Jaye put down her e-reader. She looked at the gentleman sitting across from her and thought. "Boy is he handsome he's even cuter then Flint."

She said, "Hi." As she gave him a smile.

Cameron smiled back and said, "Hi. So where are you headed to?"

"New York City for about a month. I have never been there and wanted to see the sights around there."

"That's cool. Well I am having several conferences throughout New York City. It is a private conference, but if you would like you could come to them. It is running from today to September 8th. I have booked most of the main attractions within and out of New York City."

"Thanks, I would like to. I will only be around for about a month. Then I am headed to see my mom who I haven't seen in awhile."

"Can I ask where your mom lives?"

"Even though I would love to tell you, I don't even know you that well."

"It's ok. Maybe if you get to know me more you would tell me."

Did he just kind of ask me out on a date? She thought to herself.

"Just so that you don't get confused I was thinking of asking you out. That is if you'd like to."

"I'd be honored, by the way my name is Alice."

"Please to meet you Alice. I'm Cameron. So where did you book your stay?"

"Oh, I'm staying at the Pennsylvania Hotel."

"That is exactly where I am staying at, and a lot of my friends will be staying there as well. I take it that you are the person that reserved during that time before I made my reservation. I took over the whole hotel for my stay there. This conference is a very huge." Why am I even mentioning this to her. This information should be confidential. I think I might be falling for her. She is very pretty.

"It's ok. I won't tell anyone. I have a lot of friends too." Just then her phone started to ring, she picked it up to see who was calling. She saw it was from The Pitt. "This is important would you mind if I took this here."

"No not at all."

Lady Jaye said, "Alice here."

Duke's voice came over her phone, "Alice, this is Conrad. How is your train ride progressing?"

"It has been very peaceful. I am sharing a compartment with another gentleman."

"That is good to here, just be careful and keep in touch."

"Don't worry I will. Oh, and Conrad just between you and me. I am thinking of breaking up with Dash. I found someone who has been nice to me and he has even invited me to dinner. He is very handsome."

"Don't worry I won't tell him that is up to you to do. Do you want me to get him and you tell him over the phone?"

"I think this is something that needs to be done in person."
"I think the conductor is coming. Can I call you later?"

"Yes Please do." Lady Jaye hung up the phone just as the conductor came through the door. "Tickets please."

Alice and Cameron both gave him the tickets at the same time. Their hands touched as they gave him their tickets.

"Just wondering how long until we get to Penn Station?"

"We will be arriving in around 5 minutes."

"Wow that was a quick trip wasn't it?" Alice asked.

"Yes it was, and it was great talking to you."

"Same here, it was great talking to you."

Alice tried to grab her bag from the shelf, but Cameron came by her and said, "Let me take it down for you." He then grabbed her bag and handed it to her, and then he grabbed his own.

"Thanks again. See you at the hotel." She then grabbed her bag and started rolling it down the train to the door. She saw a conductor and said, "Excuse me sir, would you mind if you could hold onto my bag while I get off the train." The conductor took the bag from her and Alice took a big step and got off the train.

She took her bag from him and strolled through Penn Station towards the exit to Pennsylvania Hotel.
