[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 6616777, member: 4936"] Death Otter got out of the car as well, but didn't go into the store. She had a lot of nervous energy to burn off. It didn't make sense. Any of it. The timing had been off. If they'd just let that Humvee go by, the train would have missed it. They'd have gotten through just fine. So this wasn't about saving them, no matter what they thought. And now they'd be free to go wherever they were going originally...so it wasn't about stopping them from reaching a destination. So why? And what was the deal with the other Hummer? Had IT been the one they'd been meant to stop? But hell, it hadn't stopped for an oncoming train! They'd have had to have rammed it off the road or something. And how did that plug into the convenient failure of the railroad's safety features? Any way you cut it, this looked deliberate, and it looked like it probably was about the occupants of the second Humvee, not the first. So was the first a decoy? Or was it just bad luck that two white humvees had been going down the same stretch of road ahead of that train? God[i]damn[/i] that had been real though. The car all shredded, the people too. Who'd drive into that? Death Otter frowned a little as a crazy idea occurred to her. "Huh." She went back to the SHO and knocked on the driver's side window. When it was rolled down she asked, "How hard would it be to get a hold of that hummer the train wrecked?" [/QUOTE]
