“So what are you going to do then?” Colin called out to Kennedy as she swiftly made her way down the train to her makeshift office. “You can’t leave him on here. You have to throw him off.”

She unlocked the door and turned the knob. Colin, a few steps behind her, followed her in.

He hadn’t actually been inside her office before.

The room was devoid of windows, and the only light came from a small desk lamp.

Taking a quick look around, he noticed maps of the country all over the walls, certain cities circled in blue, while others had red or green Xs on their names.

A worn wooden desk was in the center of the cabin with three mismatched chairs around it. Multiple mugs with stale coffee inside them sat on top of the desk.

On his left, a black futon was pressed up against the wall, its cushions sunken and torn. Some clothes lay haphazardly on the armrest, including a black bra, and Kennedy quickly snatched them up and stuffed them behind her desk.

“I’m gonna release him at the next stop. Until then, he’s going to stay locked up and guarded at all times.”

Colin gritted his teeth. “That’s not enough. You’re keeping a dangerous criminal on a train, a train with women and children who are defenseless by comparison. Fuck, you’re even feeding him and giving him medical care!”

Kennedy opened a drawer at her desk and pulled out a hefty binder filled with notebooks and loose-leaf pieces of paper, then sat down and began perusing the notebooks, jotting down notes as she turned the pages.

He slammed his hand down in frustration. “Bloody hell, Kennedy. You can’t just ignore this. That guy has had it in for Haven since she was a kid. He almost killed her!” When she didn’t respond, he ran his fingers through his hair and turned away. “If you guys hadn’t come in at the right time, she’d be dead.”

Kennedy noticed that his voice caught ever so slightly.

“You’re in love with her,” she replied softly, not looking up as she wrote. She felt nauseous all of a sudden, but she kept her eyes on the pages so he couldn’t read her emotions.

He spun back to her and pointed a finger. “Don’t bring that into this.”

Placing her pen down, she sighed. “She’s the one you’ve been trying to forget since you’ve been here.” When he looked at her in surprise, she said, “It’s obvious you were trying to forget someone, Colin. I’ve worked with a lot of people over the years; I’ve never seen anyone work so hard to stay busy in my life.”

Colin placed both of his hands on her desk and leaned down, inches from her face. “Don’t change the subject. A psychopath that you let on this train, against the advice of others, went after a woman and a kid. We are in crisis mode here, Kennedy. You have to make a decision and fast.”

She stood up quickly and slammed the binder on the desk. “You think I don’t realize that?” She clenched her jaw as her eyes began to water.
