Train Mystery

Shoot, I'm going to be late I told myself even though I knew it wasn't going to help. Grabbing my keys off the side of the cabinet and running out the door. It slammed behind me, and as I went to run down the steps, I remembered I left my phone in my bedroom. As I tried sliding the key to that small keyhole the apartment held, I realized I took the wrong key. You have to be kidding, of any day bad luck chooses to strike this day. Whatever I told myself I still have the “emergency” key in my purse. Oh no its 1:27 I'm late. I can't afford being late another day or my boss will fire me I said out loud this time. Running inside my apartment felt weird though I'm not used being there when my roommate was up. As I ran up the stairs, I realized I left the door open and it wasn't the best view either. Ok, let’s try again I said taking a deep breath as I stepped back into the half-opened door. By now I bet even Train C left for Ohio but a little part of me had a little hope even though the rest 90% of my body gave up already. As I opened the car door, I immediately realized there was a weird smell coming from the trunk of the car. I decided to ignore the weird scented smell and stay focused. Woo! I'm here I told myself even though it felt stupid talking to myself. The disappointing part was that the only people there were the employees who looked half asleep and a couple of other teens who looked kind of cute waiting for a train. Excuse me I said politely to the couple of employees playing with tickets no one has purchased. Is there still chance to hop on Train A? I asked with a pushy voice. Umm said one of the employees with the same pushy voice I had on. It's your lucky day miss he said we were actually waiting for something so yes. Take a left, keep forward and then one more left as simple as that he said. Thank you I told him even though he already started playing with his tickets. Waiting was the worst part and that is exactly what I have to do right now for about 15-20 minutes. Train A please aboard once again Train A aboard now. I'm Mark said a stranger sitting next to me. He looked a little older than me, but he was still cute, he had this light brown colored hair, Mark had hazel eyes like mine, and he had mussels, not bad I told myself. I'm Jessica I told him with a tone like we had known each other since little. Nice name he said scooching a little closer to where I was sitting. Tickets, Tickets yelled the conductor. Once he reached our row, I was little worried because I had searched all my purse and no sign of the tickets. Madam, do you have your ticket? Asked the conductor. Yes, I do I said with a little charm speak its right here in my purse ... I think. Uh miss you know the rules no ticket no ride. Bu- no buts the conductor said angry, leave now before I call the cops!!  Don’t worry Mr. said Mark with a sweet voice, I have this fine lady's ticket. Ok... said the conductor with a confused voice. Thanks, I said while blushing that was really generous from your part. Is there anything I could do to repay you? Umm...said Mark blushing to, would you come with me to the state fair? I started to cry out of the sudden not even knowing why. Is everything ok? Mark asked and I felt bad for him he was so nice and here I am crying for no reason. I'm sorry I said with an embarrassed voice I had a rough day. Correction Mark said laughing I was having, what do you mean? I asked laughing to, wiping away tears. What I mean is the day is not over. I'm going to ask again Jessica, would you come with me to the state fair? Of course, I said giggling I owe you because of that. Before I knew it, my lips were touching Marks. I hope you are having great travels but... said the speaker we are going to have a delay due to private reasons. Surprisingly nobody cared and went back to their conversations. Are you thinking what I'm thinking asked marked? Umm... 1.2. 3.. we both said together let's see what the “private reason is”! It sounded weird saying it out oud but if you think about it would be awesome. Ok so here is the plan I said snorting, lets sneak into the driver's cabin ad then take the left into the secret room and jump into the next wagon and go straight for the right-side corner. Are you ok? Asked Mark with a little frightened voice. Don't worry I said my dad constructs trains, I know everything about them. So, get up I told him lets go on an adventure! This was bad plan I kept on telling myself even though I was shouting the instructions to the whole wagon. Ok so do we take left or right asked mark with a face little kids make when they are about to eat the amount of sugar there is in a whole cake. I... think we take right now. You think? Asked mark with this time an uneasy face. Oh, your right we are supposed to jump now to the “secret” wagon right there. It was kind of scary jumping 8 feet away from you and the thought that if you slip or fall... game over. We need a plan, I told Mark even though it was obvious. So, what's the catch I asked him, what do you mean he asked me with a worried and cautious face. I mean we can't just jump 8 feet without a clue of what to do. Oh, wait I have a plan said Mark with a mischievous smile. Why doesn't one of jump and then tell the other person if it was easy or hard and if they give a hand. I like it I said even though I took it back when he told me I was first. I hate that stupid saying” ladies go first” oh my god how much easier your life would be without that saying. I started laughing out of the blue just imagining what our parents would think if we got caught jumping 8 feet into a secret wagon and then discovering a very important thing. What took you so long I asked mark who was sweating as crazy. You know just the fact that I just risked my life and I could've died the day of my birthday. Wait a minute I said a bit awkwardly it's your birthday? Yeah, he responded it's no big deal though my parents are in China wanting to do more research about the Korona Virus. I feel so bad I said giving him a hug even though he was dripping wet. Ok let's move on he said blushing and looking a little sad, happy birthday I told him to at least bring a little joy. What do you think is the big important reason behind the private reason? Asked Mark who seemed fine by now. Shh I said I hear voices, is it Jesus? Marked asked cracking up. No stupid I mean real voices, human voices. Oh... well what do we do then? Really Mark, let's make a distraction I said already thinking of a plan. I have a plan said Mark who now looked half asleep, I guess you can say that you are the mayor's daughter and you want to pass through with your cousin.  I guess that can work I said with some concern. What if they don’t recognize me, I said now with more concern. Don’t worry just go and try to be cool, your calling me not cool? I asked with a blank but wanting to laugh expression. That's not what I meant but that’s not the point go in and break a leg! Omg here I go... I was already petrified seeing all this man playing poker and others were dressed as F.B.I or they were real F.B.I people.  The worst part was that everyone didn’t talk but did signs with their hands. Excuse me I said confident I'm the mayor's daughter and he wanted me to announce that me and my cousin can go see the reason the train stopped. Until finally I heard the same childish voice of mark coming and supporting me. And again, a man with a white-collar shirt and black pants you wear to funerals, a dark blue jacket over him started doing signs. Finally, another gentleman broke the silence while smoking a cigar. Little girl said the smoking guy, answer my question is the mayor here? He asked like he was going to cause something pretty bad. No, I said with a shaky voice. Well...said the man I guess we got new victims
