The train was quiet, way too quiet. Light would flicker on and off randomly in different carriages, as if something terrifying was making its way down the train. Black suits, as well as white suits were being left for dead. A bulging mass of red and black with a Cheshire cat like smirk was the last thing any of the men saw before they ended up soaking in their own blood. The train was indeed being slowly devoured by a monster.

While the cook was making her way down the train, Jacuzzi and his gang of miscreants were busy, what with losing Nick for a while and then the brief happy reunion when they found him in a cargo room, abandoned by the black suits and, you could say that the white suits left him too which wasn't very nice of them. Nick concluded that this train was a gathering for all the fucked up, crazy people in America, the cook undeniably fit the criteria of fucked up craziness, so did the black suits, and the white suits he met earlier. However though, there were a few others who would fit Nick's description of 'crazy' that he had yet to meet.

While getting the low down from Nick about what had happened to him, and who he met, Nice noticed the gentle pooling of what was obviously blood coming out from under the door. Before they could react to the blood, the door had suddenly swung open and they all came face to face to Ladd Russo, who had the obligation to assassinate Jacuzzi as he was a part of the Russo family. However, he had other matters on his mind, and simply stated,

'I ain't got time to play with you, but it'll be interesting the next time we meet' turning his back on the gang, and headed for the conductor's room up ahead, his posse in white following him.

'Yeah, we got things to do too, but I look forward to the next time we meet' Jacuzzi said in a voice that was a 360 degree change from his usual whimpering voice, his eyes shining with a rare fiery spark.

'Lucky he seemed interested in the conductor's room' said Nick, placing his knife back into his pocket.

Jacuzzi suddenly dropped his hard demeanour and reverted back to his crying self again,

'Ahhh, wait! No-no they can't go there! Kelly was in the conductor's room!' recalling the scene of the cook in the dark room.

'Ah really, well she should be okay' Nice flicked her hair over her shoulder, breathing out a sigh, she didn't think any of the Russo Family would be on a train like this, and she agreed with Nick that they were lucky.

'Sh-Should! What if the Rail Tracer eats her?'

'Ya know, I'd feel sorry for the Rail Tracer if it met with her, cuz she'll probably make a meal outta of it' a playful smirk on her face.

'Shuushh Nice! What if it hears and comes after us and then her! Do-don't get it mad!' Jacuzzi was looking around wildly as if making sure they hadn't been heard, but froze when he saw the large puddle of blood. He approached the door, frightened at what could be behind it, and his friends waited behind him to open the door. They all took a deep breath; the air was thick with tension,

'Well, ain't ya gonna open it?' the words cutting the tension like knife

Jacuzzi screamed like a girl, while the rest took up fighting stances or weapons, when they realised who it was they gave a breath of relief, though their hearts were still hammering in their chests, cheeks slightly flushed from embarrassment.

Kelly gave a lopsided, cocky smile, lifting her arms lazily in the air,

'Yo, it's just me, chill would ya' beaming at them, she found their reaction cute, well they're just brats, they still have lots more to learn, she couldn't wait for them to grow, and flourish into a more powerful gang, having power meant they would stay safe. It also meant she didn't have to keep an eye on them behind Luck's back, which she felt a tad guilty about, but for some reason or another I can't leave them be. Kelly didn't know if it was pity that caused her to look after them, it could very well border along some sort of affection for them not that Kelly would ever willingly admit that she held those sorts of emotions.

'Why the hell you still alive?' Nice growled, trying to save face from her previous actions, which weren't all that bad, this train had some dangerous people on board so it's natural to be cautious.

Her thoughts that she cared for them shattered immediately 'A reason why I shouldn't be? Huh bomb freak?' Kelly snarled angrily, glowering at the one eyed girl. The temperature suddenly rising to boiling point,

'Oi, ladies calm down would ya? This is a bad time ya know?' Nick said timidly, trying to diffuse the situation.

Nice 'hmphed' in annoyance and looked away from Kelly, how childish. Kelly turned her attention to Jacuzzi who flinched at her hard gaze through her messy fringe.

'He didn't do anything to you did he?'

It a took a moment for Jacuzzi to get what she was asking, and said 'Y-eah, I'm good thanks, what about you? Th-they didn't hurt you?'

Kelly glared back at the direction she came from, as if trying shoot daggers down the corridor, 'Ah them, they wouldn't be able to do anything even if they tried, seems like they have something else on their minds'

And with no warning, Kelly approached the door, turned the doorknob, and stepped in on another familiar scene of blood, blood and more blood. The room was shadowy, save for the beam of moonlight coming in from the wide open carriage doors; the room was freezing from the harsh blow of the train speeding against the wind. It really wasn't any different from the conductor's room, except there was half a man's body in the middle of the room, his other half no way to be seen. Even this room got repainted, even got added ornaments noting the insides sprawled here and there on the floor, talk about lovely right? Kelly reached for her pockets for a cigarette when her honed instincts kicked in, and she suddenly dodged to the side but immediately dropped her guard when she saw that she just avoided blood dripping on her. Dripping? She looked up, her blue eyes widening in surprise at the amount of blood on the ceiling, she took a step back to avoid another blood drop.

Movement from behind made her aware of Jacuzzi's presence, she guessed that he was frozen in shock.

She wasn't wrong; Jacuzzi was totally frozen in place, his thoughts were going haywire A-all this blood! How? Did-did the Ra-Rail Tracer do this? We're all, all gonna die! Half a body? Is that his insides!

Nice heard the sounds of something dripping and gasped when she looked up 'How the hell did so much blood get up there?'

'Maybe the monster sucked him through the ceiling but he was too fat, so he left the top half behind' Kelly said with no hint of humour, making a note of everything in the room with her eyes.

Jacuzzi recoiled back with high pitched 'Eeek! Are you serious! It-it can do that!'

Nick ran off to throw up outside an open window

'Kelly! Even for a joke that wasn't funny!' Nice wasn't sure if she was supposed to believe the cook, there's no way something like a monster existed, right?

'I wasn't exactly tryna ta be funny' she said quietly, observing the scene before her, she brought her finger to her chin, and closed her eyes trying to imagine what happened here

Train tracks again? Something came in from the outside through the carriage door, there were flecks of blood on the door, and on the floor near the door, it held the man against the train tracks, until it shredded him up to his waist, then threw him back in, explaining the blood getting up there, meaning whoever or whatever did this had strength, agility, and wasn't exactly tidy when it came to killing. Hmmm? Kelly titled her head, opening her eyes looking up at the celling Sounded awfully familiar, could the killer by any chance be him? She would have pondered more about this new conclusion she came to, but Nick had said something that punctured her thoughts right there,

'Hey guys, I think there's something rolling about out there'

Everyone but Kelly rushed out to Nick's window, and just as Nick started his countdown, Kelly had walked out of the room, opened her own window. By the time Nick finished his countdown, Kelly pushed her head through the window, the harsh wind slapping across her face, forcing her eyes to close but she kept them open long enough to see a red blur fly up and disappear over the train. She chuckled, she was getting excited more and more, she couldn't wait any longer.

'Is that…the R-Rail Tracer?'

'I don't see it anymore'

'Let's go up and see'

'Are you sure Jacuzzi? What if the Rail Tracer is up there? What do ya think Kelly?' Nick turned to the cook for advice.

'Kelly?'

'W-where she go!'

'It-it's the Rail Tracer! It took her!'

She was nowhere in sight.
