"Fine, fine."
Dresden watched him pass, then let the fence fall back in place as someone stepped out and replaced the boxes back where they were, and she leads the two to the tracks. She finds Adam's train as it neared them, and from the conductor engine windows, she saw Adam wave. The kid was good at timing his runs with hers, and in turn she raised a hand in response as the train slowed. She takes off in a trot alongside it, finding an empty car just behind the engines and pulls herself up. She looks at the other two. "Jump on."
Tobe finished cutting him free and leans back on his heels, eyeing the boy. "When you catch your breath, answer me this-- what the hell were you doing tied up in a box?"

"Jump on."
Dietrich grinned as he complied. "You don't have to tell me twice." Once in the car he went to a wall and sat down.

"Jump on."
Following the girls suit, Drake smirks inwardly as he breaks into a run behind her, grabs onto a bar protruding from the side of the car and pulls himself up, legs swinging as he lands with a laugh, almost falling out the other side before he trips onto his back
"When you catch your breath, answer me this-- what the hell were you doing tied up in a box?"
"That's what i'd like to know." Makai mutters, coughing, looks at him, gaze cautious "Are you the one who put me in the box?"

Dresden watched as they got on, frowning when the boy nearly teeters out the other side, though her eyes move to Ridge. "Adam is up front, so I know Tobe is somewhere close by." She starts towards the passage ways between the cars. "I have a few things I need to talk to him about."
"That's what i'd like to know. Are you the one who put me in the box?"
He shakes his head and remains crouched, an elbow on his knee and props his chin on his hand. "Nope. I'm only an info broker. Name's Tobe." He turns his head as he hears footsteps several cars down, hearing acute. "And it looks like today is your lucky day. D-Gray is on another one of her runs, so you may even get to meet the infamous nomad who is just like a lynx in Alaska." He grins a little. "A Ghost." He laughs and stands up, offering a hand to him. "I'm sorry. I have a fascination with her."

"Adam is up front, so I know Tobe is somewhere close by." "I have a few things I need to talk to him about."
Dietrich nodded as he slumped against the wall- head hanging. "Be careful. " replies absentmindedly. He didn't really think she needed to be told that, but he didn't trust anyone much these days.

"Adam is up front, so I know Tobe is somewhere close by. I have a few things I need to talk to him about."
"Who's this Tobe?" Drake asks, eyes closing as he remains lying on the ground, comfortable, stretched out
"Nope. I'm only an info broker. Name's Tobe. And it looks like today is your lucky day. D-Gray is on another one of her runs, so you may even get to meet the infamous nomad who is just like a lynx in Alaska. A Ghost. I'm sorry. I have a fascination with her."
"...Who?" Makai asks quietly, face twisting in confusion, looks around "I was supposed to meet a girl here so I could get aboard this train.. Then I got knocked out from behind." he murmurs, brow furrowing as he takes the mans hand "No problem.."

"Who's this Tobe?"
"A broker," she murmurs, dislike in her voice.
"Be careful. "
Dresden slips off her pack and sets it by Ridge, though she keeps the letter in her pocket and pulls out another pack of cigarettes. "Nothing is going to jump out and kill me." She turns and walks to another car.
"...Who? I was supposed to meet a girl here so I could get aboard this train.. Then I got knocked out from behind. No problem.."
"Gray is a smuggling nomad and merchant," Tobe answers. "The only one who knows this route enough to know when Adam's train runs to a T is her. Though I did catch wind about someone asking about this train." He stops and looks over as a door slides open, then he smiles. "Well, speak of the devil. I knew were on board."
Dresden pauses, her hand still on the door as she slides it closed, her eyes stony and sharp as she looks at him. "When do you not, Broker."
He laughs off her chilly tone. "And as warm as ever." His expression grew a little more serious. "Why are you here? You never wander from your car."
She pulls the pack of cigarettes out and tosses them to him. "You know the drill." As he catches them, her gaze moves to Makai. "Who's he?"

"Nothing is going to jump out and kill me."
Dietrich smirked as he closed his eyes. Remembering the other person in the car he tilted his head. "What did you say your name was?"

"A broker,"
"What did you say your name was?"
"Have fun with that then." Drake mutters, watching her leave before he stands, waving a hand towards the man at his question "Makai. If she gets back before I do, tell her I'm out using the loo." he states, pushing open the door and walking to the next car
"Gray is a smuggling nomad and merchant. The only one who knows this route enough to know when Adam's train runs to a T is her. Though I did catch wind about someone asking about this train."
"Oh, I see. She sounds like someone I'd want to stay away from, though I'm sure-"
"Well, speak of the devil. I knew were on board."
"When do you not, Broker."
"And as warm as ever. Why are you here? You never wander from your car."
"You know the drill. Who's he?"
Pausing until her gaze turns to him, Makai purses his lips then takes a small step forward, reaching out his hand to shake "Makai. Makai Shaw. Were you the woman I was supposed to meet?"

"Makai. Makai Shaw. Were you the woman I was supposed to meet?"
Her gaze immediately sharpens as she studies him closely, from head to toe, but then something clicks and she quickly pulls out the letter again. She flips to the last page, eyes scanning the words before her head snaps up again to him, brows drawn tightly together. Then it's like the pieces fell together in her head, and she swore loudly.
"What's wrong?" Tobe asks warily, startled at the sudden show of emotion in her gaze as she stuffs the letter in her pocket and turns back towards the door, pace brisk. "D-Gray, say--"
"There's someone on this train who isn't supposed to be."
"And who's fault is that?" The broker remarks, though he's met by a throwing knife towards his face, one he barely manages to catch. His hand lowers, face paling just slightly at the steely look from her.
"Don't. Get your ass moving."
"I didn't sign up to meddle in your affairs."
"Want another one?" Tobe's mouth snaps shut and he starts forward as Dresden points to Makai. "You, stay here, and don't you dare leave this car." She turns and starts back towards the car she left Ridge in.

"Makai. If she gets back before I do, tell her I'm out using the loo."
Dietrich watched him with one eye before it closed and he shifted to get comfortable. Maybe now he could rest a moment.

"What is it?" Makai starts to ask at her curse, pausing when Tobe speaks, not really one to interrupt
"What's wrong? D-Gray, say--"
"There's someone on this train who isn't supposed to be."
"And who's fault is that?"
"Don't. Get your ass moving."
"I didn't sign up to meddle in your affairs."
"Want another one? You, stay here, and don't you dare leave this car."
"But-" he starts to call out, hand dropping when she passes through the door
"Well. Isn't this a problem." Drake murmurs, watching them through the small hole in the roof before he grins when Dres goes on the move, drops down behind her through the open door, between her and her true cargo "It seems I've been found out." he states, slow grin crossing his face "No matter. I found out all I needed to know."

"It seems I've been found out. No matter. I found out all I needed to know."
Tobe whirls around, having walked ahead of Dres, eyes falling on Drake. At the same time she whirls, her knife sweeping through the air as her movements are swift, brows angled in determination and anger and her dreads dancing with the movement. "You're going to regret lying to me," she growls.
Tobe quickly turns and looks towards where Makai was left, then towards where Ridge sits. "Hey!" He calls out, to both of them. "Get to the front!"

"Get to the front!"
"Hmm?" Dietrich opens his eyes and stands. "Just when I was comfy. " Moving to the door he looked at them. "What's wrong?"

"You're going to regret lying to me,"
Laughing as he dodges, Drake spins and pushes off the wall, licking his lips as he runs towards her. Eyes narrowing, he reaches into his sleeve and slips out a knife of his own, free hand reaching for her face, moving faster "You're a fool if you think a knife like that will stop me, princess. Even if you cut me, you'd get a deeper cut in return!"
"Hey! Get to the front!"
"What?" Makai asks, eyes widening at the sight of Drake before his teeth grit "You!" he hisses, looks around, spots a rock and leans to get it quickly, tossing it towards Drake's head
