They were silent as they rode around the Park again. The canoes were paddling around Tom Sawyer’s Island. Fantasyland Theater was still showing Mickey’s Detective School—A Musical Toondunit. Autopia cars in Tomorrowland were crashing in to each other in spite of the warnings to ‘not bump the car ahead of you.’ Ferde Grofe’s “On the Trail” was still playing on the sound system as they rode past the Grand Canyon diorama again. More people got on and off at the various stations. The conductor Louise stayed with them and eyed Lance as he swung down from the train at the Frontierland station. Adam saw her little smile when Lance got in the second seat in their car, about three people in. Yes, there would be enough of a diversion. Louise was perched about four feet away from him.

Adam found he was breathing harder and his pulse rate accelerated as the train pulled away from Frontierland. I don’t think I’ll ever get used to stuff like this, he admitted to himself. He slowly edged toward the far side of the car until he was next to the railing. It seemed like hours before the train entered the tunnel. It was getting darker when he heard Lance’s loud voice. “Excuse me, coming over, excuse me.” He began to climb over the people seated next to him. “Can I have the end seat? Excuse me.”

“Sir, you have to remain seated while the train is in motion.… Sir.… Ok, Lance.” Adam could hear the soft change in Louise’s voice as Lance settled on the end seat.

However, Adam didn’t have time to listen to Lance’s pick-up lines. A quick glance at the few riders in front of him showed that they were all turned toward the commotion in the front. Grasping the metal railing, he quickly threw himself over the side and dropped with a grunt on the graveled ground. He immediately crouched into a dark ball, motionless. If anyone looked back, they would be hard pressed to see his black clothes in the darkness of the tunnel. Waiting, he resisted the urge to cough in the smoke-filled tunnel. Listening to hear if someone may have seen or heard him, the noise of the train faded as it continued its journey. Only then did Adam risk peeking out of his crouched position. When the back lights of the train disappeared, he unzipped his jacket as he ran toward the first little opening.

Reaching in first, he felt around for a capsule. Doing the same at the next cavern, he came up empty. Sticking his head in the opening, he found it was big enough to drop into. He then set his watch’s timer for eight minutes to give himself an extra two minutes. Going to the opposite side of the tunnel, he felt around for somewhere to attach the rope. The exit door would probably be alarmed. Finding a wooden beam pulled away from the wall, he tested it with his weight and hoped it would hold.
