I was about to fall out of the train, and the giant buffoon was asking me about the view! Just as I was about to yell at him, the conductor walked past and casually looked down at us. Then he did a double take, and his face went white with shock.

He jumped down the stairs and lifted Bones off of me while holding my leg. Then he pulled me up on top of the metal platform between the two cars. He hit a button to close the door and then used a key to lock it.

He didn’t say a word as he led us back to the café car and had us sit down. We didn’t know what he was going to do. Throw us off the train? We watched as he went to the bar and got us a couple of drinks.

When he came back, he looked more worried than angry. He wanted to know where we were getting off the train. We told him NYC, so he reached into his pocket and pulled out a few passes.

“You’ll need these for the Path, boys. Just do me a favor and stay away from the doors.”
