Caught by the wind, Jen's leg's swung out from the train. She gritted her teeth and concentrated on keeping her tenuous grasp.

Her legs slammed into the side of the car again and she winced. Don't think I can take another one.

Zeke and Wayne knelt at the edge of the roof, stretching their arms out, but she needed to be a couple feet closer.

Someone grabbed Jen's legs and she looked into D-Day's eyes. He hung out the door with one arm and had the other encircling her legs, preventing them from flopping in the wind.

"I'm going to give you a push," he yelled over the train's racket. "Only one chance for this."

Zeke hollered to her, "When he pushes, reach for our hands."

Jen nodded and looked back at D-Day. Fear froze her.

"You can do this," D-Day said. "You've got more balls than most men I've known. Don't overthink it, just reach for their hands."

Jen took a deep breath and swallowed.

"On the count of three," D-Day bellowed. "One...two...three."

He swung his body around still holding on to the doorway and threw her upwards. She reached out with both arms, and Zeke and Wayne grabbed them as D-Day let go of her legs. Her weight pulled on them and Zeke seemed to slip, but he regained his balance.

They pulled her close and she found footing and pushed as they yanked her to the top of the car.

She lay on her stomach, panting, the wind taking her breath away.

Zeke bent down to her. "You okay?"

She nodded. Wayne put a hand on her back. "Take your time."

She'd regained her breath by the time D-Day pulled himself onto the roof. He helped her stand, but said nothing.

"Thank you," she said. "Thank you all."

"Enough of this bullshit," D-Day said. "Let's get this train stopped."

Zeke led the way, hopping to the next car with ease. Jen recalled him practically flying over the empty space between two buildings in Spokane. Mine didn't go too well. Good thing these cars are a lot closer together.

With no more slips, they made it to the first car in minutes. Jen peered over the side.

The door to the engine stood open. A rail above it caught her eye. She pointed. "We can grab that and swing right in."

Zeke squinted his eyes against the wind. "We don't know what's in there. I should go first."

Wayne put a hand on his shoulder. "I should go first this time. If there are zombies in there, they'll go for me and you can swoop in behind them."

Zeke frowned.

"I don't trust anyone to cover my back more than you," Wayne said.

"OK." Zeke gave one of his grins.

Wayne climbed down to the bar. He squatted, facing the engine, and pushed off. He swung into the door and disappeared.

Zeke scrambled down and mimicked his brother's actions, vanishing inside in one fluid motion.

Wayne stuck his head out. "All clear."

Jen eased her way to the bar and took a minute to compose herself before she swung in. She tumbled onto the floor and stopped just before rolling into the wall.
