Nicolas is thinking about what he should say to Mr. Williams. He said to all the people in a passionate plea not to let go of their hard work into other hands, but the problem is how can he pursue Mr. Williams for not revoking the contract?
"First I will go greet him then I will say some smooth words to Mr. Williams or" Nicolas muttered to himself.
" I will make him believe that if he gives the project to someone else. They can't make the work done like us because we are the ones who created the design and we have full knowledge of it." Nicolas muttered to himself.
"But what about the six months prior to the planned date thing. That's the main problem." Nicolas muttered to himself.
" Whataver, I will think about this on the train" Nicolas thinks.
NEXT DAY
6:00 A.M.
[Clocks Ringing]
Nicolas wakes up
[Yawning]
"The train will arrive around 7 a.m. on railway station. So i need to get ready fast to reach railway station at time." Nicolas thoughts.
After some time, He was about to leave. He packed his luggage for around a week. And he also takes his broken pocket watch and lighter.
He locks the door
[CLICK]
When he arrives at the road that goes directly to the railway station. The road was under construction.
"Shit. These damn roads why the hell of all times they start constructing it now. Why didn't they think of this road to construct back then..? Why now...?" Nicolas said fiercely.
There was a road, but it was two kilometres path to station and Nicolas had just around 15 minutes to catch the train.
Nicolas moves to that road.while putting his luggage in his head he run towards the railway station and shout.
"Damn luck! " Nicolas shouted.
Nicolas was about to arrive at the station when he heard.
[A HISS]
It was the sound of a train about to depart. Nicolas moves starting to fasten more.
Nicolas entered the railway station and swiftly went to the counter.
"One ticket to Rozanta " Nicolas said pantingly.
"Calm down man, catch your breath first." the Booking clerk said.
" I don't have time for this. Just give me a ticket for Rozanta." Nicolas said pantingly.
" Oh Rozanta, I can't give you that." the Booking clerk said.
"What nonsense are you spouting. Just give it already." Nicolas said shoutingly.
" Because the train is already departed. How can I give you the ticket now?" The Booking clerk said.
Nicolas calmly goes to platform area. Then he sat down on the bench near the platform.
"What do I do now there isn't a single train here that departs to Rozanta for next 4 days." Nicolas thought.
Suddenly, a thought comes to Nicolas' mind.
Then he got up and went to the booking clerk counter. But the guy sitting the counter is now someone else.
The guy at the counter now is sitting in a black suit with a black cap. Nicolas couldn't saw his face because there was somehow a thick dark mist appear at the station.
His sorrounding was so cold that Nicolas was giving chills to the spine or.. It was due to the senses of being a living creature that his brain was giving warning to Nicolas. But Nicolas didn't care and ask.
"Hey Sir, Where's the man who was sitting at the counter before gone." Nicolas asked.
"He had something came up so he changed shifts with me." The man said.
"Sir, can you help me to tell if is there any station in the route from I can directly catch a train to Rozanta" Nicolas asked.
"Mistwood town. The train that will depart for there will leave in twenty minutes." The man said
"In which platform, Sir?" Nicolas asked.
"Platform no.9" The man said.
"Sir, but I only seen eight platforms in time catalogue" Nicolas said.
Nicolas showing the catalogue to the man.
"See, There are only... Nine?" Nicolas hesitatanly.
Nicolas was stunned because he didn't saw the platform no.9 before.
"I guess I didn't check it correctly before" Nicolas said confusingly.
"Sometimes these things happens, young man" The man said while giving a sinister smile.
"Ok sir, thanks for the help" Nicolas said.
Nicolas after reaching to the platform no.9. There he finds the train which was about to depart. Platform no. 9 was somehow different from all the platforms.
"There we go" Nicolas said while boarding.
The Train starts.
[A HISS]
MEANWHILE AT THE TICKET COUNTER
"Sir, Why are you not giving the tickets to customers. The line is pile up..." Colleague while entering to Ticket counter
[SCREAM]
The person who comes to change shift is terrified after seeing the Booking clerk. Booking clerk was dead. His eyes were smashed. His body had no blood in it. It feels like someone suck his life out of him. ***
