CHAPTER 14

* * *

So focused on the destroyed equipment and shattered gauges, Lijuan gave a start when she suddenly heard her name being shouted and she thrust her head back out the door and was greeted by the sight of her three sisters rushing towards the locomotive.

Unaware of the danger, Catalina was laughing. "See! I sure as sugar told you I thought I saw her at the controls of that train when I was up in that bell tower!"

Lijuan’s screams brought them to halt only a few feet from the cab. “Get everyone out of that hotel and any of the buildings near this engine! Get them as far from here as possible! This engine is a powder keg about to blow and whoever doesn’t get vaporized is looking at getting cut to ribbons by the shrapnel! I’m going to try to get it as far away as possible! Go! Move!”

None of the trio wanted to leave their sister sitting on top of the biggest bomb they had ever seen, but her words hit home and they knew she spoke the truth that the denizens of Stanton’s Gap were now still very much in danger.

He was yanking on the end of some type of metal rod protruding from the coupling mechanism.

“Dutch! How are you two here on this train?”

“I heard what Lijuan shouted to you! Go!!”

A helpless anger swept over Cassandra as she bolted for the front porch of the hotel. Now both Lijuan and Dutch could be dead in minutes or even seconds, not to mention herself. At least the other two would likely survive. She had deliberately selected the hotel for herself because if the boiler exploded anyone in the hotel wouldn’t have a chance. Better her dying than Honor Elizabeth or Cattie.

As his sister raced away, Dutch seized the other metallic pin sticking out of the coupling. The system as he remembered had been simple. When the trains coupled a workman would place a metallic link into the “female” ends of the couplers sticking out of the end of the
