It had been three days since Train got the bike. Did it wipe out most of his money? Yes. Did they still have enough to get to where they needed to go? They didn't know. They didn't know where they were going, only that they lived and breathed on the road.
"Ne, Train-kun?" Saya asked from the back. They had learned how to talk over the roar of the engine and lash of the wind. "Why don't you become a sweeper?" Saya, who was holding onto Train for support, could feel him tense up a little bit. "Sweepers can move on the job and you wouldn't be arrested for carrying a gun if you're a licensed official sweeper" Saya said, pressing her case. For whatever reason, Train refused to give up Hades. And if that was the case, he would want the police to work with that fact, not against it.
Train didn't say anything for awhile. He knew that becoming a sweeper was the most logical choice, but he didn't want it to be that easy for Saya to find him once he managed to get her to a safe place. And stay there. "I'll think about it" was all he said as an answer.
Train and Saya had to stop in another small town. Why? Because they ran out of gas. Why didn't they get some more? Train had no money and refused to let Saya pay for the gas. Yes, he was just stubborn that way.
Saya just pouted. Honestly, sometimes Train could be a real handful. He didn't sell his jacket back there so he could use it as a blanket for her, and now he wasn't going to let her chip in with the gas. What went through that guys mind? "Well" Saya said, being firm. "Either you get a job to pay for the gas, or I pay for the gas" she announced, knowing that he would probably take the job.
Train was stuck. He didn't want it to be easy for Saya to track him down, or anyone else for that matter, but if he let her pay, she would probably use that as an excuse to stay. Train sighed. "How do you become a sweeper?" he finally asked. It was the only job he could think of that let them move around, not including a traveling salesman. And really, who wants to grow up to be a traveling salesman?
Saya was exploding with happiness on the inside, but didn't let it show. "You just need to take a test. Usually they're found in" Saya looked around until she spotted what she was looking for. "…the Sweeper Café" she finished as she walked over. Train just followed. The woman did know what she was doing after all.
Two big men stood at the entrance of the normal-looking café. Saya pulled out her sweeper I.D. and they instantly stood aside. Train wondered if it was supposed to look like some sort of party. Probably…
Saya led Train up to the front. There, she hit her hand on the bar three times, but it was quiet. A man, the bartender, suddenly appeared in front of her and then looked behind her at Train. All he did was nod and bring them to the back room. Saya knew what was going on. She basically recommended Train as a Sweeper. Now all he needed to do was pass the test…
Train had no idea what was going on at all. He just watched Saya as she walked through a hallway and into a back room. The bartender was already there and he had some papers which, to Train's surprise, he handed over to him. Train took it silently and read the top paper.
Sweeper Test
Train raised an eyebrow but did not comment. He sat down on the couch and filled out the test. It had questions like 'why did you want to become a sweeper', and 'if you were placed in X situation, what would be the best way to survive' and stuff like that. Train answered them all swiftly and handed the stack of papers back to the bartender. Unfazed, the bartender simply handed Train one more paper then jabbed at the door behind him, silently dismissing him.
He had to have set a world record Saya kept thinking. She had to take the written portion over a few hours, but he managed to complete it in about a minute! Now all he needed to do was pass the aptitude test and he'd be ready to go. She silently trailed behind Train, wondering if he knew that this test was already in session…
